Wii is generating presonal revenue

Monday, December 8th, 2008

My 4yr old son has stumbled upon a new revenue generating opportunity on the Wii. On investigating a slight ‘chaffing’ noise during certain load sequences, I discovered he’s been stuffing coins in the slot. Can’t really blame him as it is pretty inviting. There seems to be about 5-6 coins in there so far and it doesn’t affect the operation.

Thinking I can maybe get £3 of loose change in there before it fails. At the very least, Nintendo could sell blank cases for kids to uses a money boxes to save up for their Wii. Just a thought…

And for what it’s worth, you can get 7 tea spoons in a VCR.

The iPhone iPint and other cool ads…

If you manage to get your hands on the November edition of Revolution Magazine you may recognise the name on page 76! Well, you would if they spelt it right (it’s Dino Burbidge, not Dino Burbridge… story of my life).

I had the honour of writing the ‘Creative Review’ feature, where industry big-wigs pick campaigns and content that has caught their eye, or that caused a stir. I chose the ubiquitous iPint for the iPhone by Beattie McGuinness Bungay as my feature and also chose four others that I thought warranted some heat, both good and bad.
