Hasbro VuGo Teams with Nick and Cartoon Network

When I was a kid the best thing I could get, mobile entertainment-wise, was the View-Master (yes, the site says they are celebrating 65 years of fun and no, I am not that old!).
Hasbro’s VuGo was announced in September. Today it was announced that Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network will offer the online sale of several half-hour programs for $2.99 per download, and that the programs will be formatted to play exclusively on the VuGo.
We Say: Oh, to be a kid nowadays. Based on price, the VuGo is the most likely things for kids to have, so the deal makes sense, but I still see what I consider (maybe I’m too old-school?) to be too many children carrying portable DVD players, video games, etc. to dinner … whatever happened to talking to your parents at a restaurant?

NBC & CBS are offering reruns for 99 cents. ABC for $1.99. Now Nickelodeon is up to $2.99. Yikes! If this takes off I can see Spongebob Squarepants going for $5.99 in a few months. I can see mortgage payments being sucked up by uncontrollable 8 year olds.
