The xmas shopping aftermath (part II)

Dec 26, 2007 18:25

Now it is SingNet's turn to be Mr Santa to me! As my broadband plan with pacnet is coming to an end this feb, i'm thinking of signing up with singnet prematurely to get a hold of 1 of their promotional gifts - the wii ($65/mth) or the ipod touch ($45/mth). Hmmm..which one is better?

u do know that the gifts are not "free" right. Like paying installment plan.

kykydiary December 26 2007, 15:30:41 UTC

Yeah, you r right! There is only about $50 to $100 "profit" when i opt for such freebies compared to plans w/o them.

I am currently paying $38 for a so-slow-the-youtube-bar-goes-like-a-slug 512K pacnet plan :( I will upgrade myself to a $40.71 3Mbps plan with 6 months free subscription in feb :)

For how many months? Can you see if it is cheaper outside? And a Wii and an iphone are very different tho...

For 24 months! Not sure about the wii but the ipod touch retails for S$498 online.

The equivalent plan that doesn't offer a freebie gives 6 months free subscription instead.

I meant to ask how many months will you have to pay for those items.

Think the Wii is selling (mine is gathering dust... but revived by a new game) for S$500 plus, basic set.

They are included in the subscription plans. $65/mth for 6Mbps + Wii and $45/mth for 3Mbps + iPod touch. All on a 2 years basis.

I am just going to wait out becos i dont need an ipod now and if i get a wii, it would probably collect dust too :/

wii~~~ :D

we had loads of fun with it really. :D

gary is sooo addicted to it now

Play games = No painting

It's a zero sum equation. I will rather have the ipod touch if i want a freebie as it will be quite cool for the new house :)

Wii for casual games... you finish them quickly if you are a gamer. I love the fact that they are simple and quick time filler. Also, you can download the older Nintendo and Sega games. I'm itching for some Xbox/Ps3 action, but I have no time to play.

WII OF COURSE!

agooddaytolive December 27 2007, 02:11:33 UTC

Did you get one yourself? I just bought Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles... fun!

into_the_wild December 27 2007, 15:18:38 UTC

next time try the super mario galaxy!

agooddaytolive December 27 2007, 23:48:12 UTC

Got it already... but come new year, no time to play
