Nintendo Co expects to keep its Wii video game console priced at $249 for the time being since it is selling all of the units it makes, a senior U.S. executive said on Thursday.

"We'll stay at $249 for the foreseeable future. We are still selling everything we can make," said George Harrison, senior vice president of marketing at Nintendo America.

In other news, to prevent students from playing too many video games, some universities have banned freshmen from owning computers - stirring up quite a controversy in the process. They said the measure will help freshmen avoid becoming addicted to computer games.

"At Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Hubei Province, no freshmen including, those who major in computer science, are allowed to own computers. The school shut down the freshmen dormitory network, and, freshmen are not allowed to log onto the Internet without permission.

China is home to 30 million online gamers, many of them college students. Addiction to online games has been found to affect undergraduates' ability to learn, causing headaches for many schools."

Is banning computers really the answer?

That's all for this edition.
