Wii Gamers get Photo Printing Service

Published on 07/28/2008

Just when you thought that the Nintendo Wii was all fun and games, along comes news that Fujifilm have teamed up with the Big N to launch a new photo printing service that is exclusive for the Nintendo Wii gamers. Known as the "Wii Digicam Print Channel", only Japanese Wii users are able to take advantage of this at the moment, supporting the upload of images from SD cards which can be used to produce customized photo products like prints, business cards and photo books. Currently, the price list stands at :-

• Photo print - L / 3R sized (127 x 89mm / 5" x 3.5"), ¥30 including tax
• Business card - Standard Japanese business card (91 x 55mm / 3.6" x 2.2"), ¥500 including tax for a set of 30 cards
• Photo book - A4, 6-page ring bound (297 x 210mm / 11.7" x 8.3"), ¥2,480 including tax
• Photo book - Square, 20-page ring bound (152 x 152mm / 6" x 6"), ¥1,575 including tax

I wonder why this service has not been rolled out outside of Japan - I'm sure teenagers everywhere love those sticker photo booths, and it ain't to say that the Wii is doing badly elsewhere. On the contrary, the Wii is a runaway success in nearly every market is has been launched in.
