    Anyone think this is a bit of a rip off considering it'll go on sale in Japan for &#163;113 and the US for about &#163;140? I'm very disappointed at the price it's been released at as I was expecting it to be around &#163;160. Plus the games - 35 - 40 notes? Come on!!

    Yar well, gaz it sure beats &#163;400+ for the PS3 / Xbox 360

    Its down to preference on which of the 3 is best, but im getting my Wii after this wretched course (July-ish) when its a lot cheaper... I hope...

    £10 more and you get a 360 core.

    Now, if your mothers buying for a console for ya kid, at xmas, and asks in brain dead toys r us, which is gonna be reccomended?

    The one with better graphics, as silly as that is. Bad move by ninty. Very very bad.

    Oh well, I'll get one, looks like a lot of fun.

    Actually I think it comes with a nunchuck thingy in there, so it would only be 1 of each extra.

    Still, it's pretty expensive, but I myself don't count the core 360, since the premium bundle is the only way to go if you have half a brain cell.

    And looking at it through my special googles, remember that the japanese version doesn't include wii sports and is non inclusive of sales tax and that the american version is also exclusive of state rendered sales tax. At most we are paying about &#163;10 more.
    Not around too often!

    I think a lot of parents will choose the Wii over the PS3 and Xbox 360 just because of the price. Normal consumers aren't aware of the prices for the same console in other countries, they just know their kid wants to play video games.. and they're gonna buy the cheapest thing out.. the same reason people buy $299 and $399 computers from wal-mart.

    I think this will be a big win for people who have younger kids, some of the titles really lend themselves to the younger audience.. just like the nintendo of ol'

    when you say "just like the nintendo of ol'", do you mean pretty much every NES, SNES and N64 game available for download, at a maximum cost of about 10 dollars?

    the nintendo of ol' just got outdated
