They’re making a Minute to Win It Wii and DS game in the US.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but surely for the inevitable price of the game where you can do these things for pretend, you can buy actual real things and play for real. Would anyone like to explain what a video game version of the show that prides itself on having games you can recreate really easily at home would add to the experience?
Meanwhile whilst we’re here, let’s have a round of Good News Bad News:
GOOD NEWS! Amazon have finally got round to stocking the The Cube Electronic Game!
BAD NEWS! It’s an eye-watering £48.99.
GOOD NEWS AGAIN! It’s still £24.99 at Argos.
BAD NEWS AGAIN: It doesn’t look they have any in stock, not online at any rate.
Anyway! If you’re watching Deal or No Deal tomorrow, it looks like there is going to be some sort of Twitter commentary experiment. Truly, it could be the Digitiser/GamesMaster live chat crossover for the new milennium.
Has anyone else been watching 71 Degrees North? Its really good. Basically an Ice version of Survivor.
Despite trying to watch it – and being a huge fan of survivor – I can’t get into it. I might try again, but I’m not promising anything.
I watched a couple, and liked it, but I haven’t been following since, sadly. Shame really, as I probably would like it.
I’ve been sort of enjoying it but not finding it nearly as compelling as I think I would have hoped. It’s a bit one-note.
GOOD NEWS AGAIN! It’s still £24.99 at Argos.
Debenhams is also selling The Cube electronic game for the same price. They definitely had it in the Brum store.
The problem with the DOND twitter account is that those people who follow Twitter but don’t watch DOND until More 4 later in the evening can’t follow the banker without getting spoilers.
Then don’t look at your Twitter feed until you’ve watched the show. Simple.
But I like reading twitter on my way home. I had to remove the official Facebook group from my likes for the same reason.
That is a pity, but given the vast majority of people will be commenting on it as it goes out first time, you can’t expect them not to.
Sounds like a curious idea, although I’m not really sure we should be assisting him! However, I’ve taken the interactivity element a tad further by suggesting I try and predict his offers LIVE at the Dream Factory next week, but I doubt he’ll take me up on that…
A “Minute To Win It” game for the Wii and the Nintendo DS does indeed sound like something straight from the Department of Redundancy Department!
That being said, all that is really needed in the package is a DVD containing all the available “blueprints” of the games, a sixty-second timer, and a flock of “cents-off” coupons for the products that would be used in the games, such as Oreo cookies, M&M candies, etc, etc.
GOOD NEWS! Amazon have finally got round to stocking the The Cube Electronic Game! BAD NEWS! It’s an eye-watering £48.99.
Can you… overcharge the Great British Public by 96%… in The Cube?

Five years after Bother’s Bar perfected the art of Deal or No Deal commentaries all on one page, TV’s famous The Banker devises a distributed commentariat. Has he been to see one of those pretentious art installations recently, one of those shows where the plot takes place in fifteen different places around a building all at once and the only way to see everything is to be everywhere at the same time? Has TV’s famous The Banker aspirations to be a mezzanine-level game show deity like Perry Fripp? I think we should be told.
And in answer to Joe’s question: no, the intense SPOILERS! (Oh.) in the ITV Press Office publicity bumph have completely ruined 71 Degrees North as a competition, and after I’ve seen half-a-dozen fjords and mountains, I got a bit blasé.
