Hotel Rent Wiis For $50+ HOURLY

The Westin chain of hotels has recently announced that they'll be offering Wii rentals in their 150 locations. How much will they charge? We're not sure yet. But if Manhattan's Le Parker Meridien is any indication, it will be a lot.

They charge $50 an hour just to rent the $250 machine. And if you want the full experience projected onto a wall with a personal trainer, look to pay $120 an hour. I think that I speak for everyone here when I say, if I pay someone $120 to play Wii Sports with me, the service had better induce some serious tennis elbow on their part.


Ridiculous, who would really want to pay $50/$120 (£25/£60) an hour just to use a Nintendo Wii?
