    God that seemed like one long wait for them to get to that part of the conference, but we have the news at last.

    £179.99 is more than I had hoped, I'm still aiming to pick one up for Christmas though.

    Difficult decision. May have to see when I get a new job if it pays more!
    Not around too often!

    Blooming firewalls blocking gaming.hexus pages. I'm guessing the facts are december and £179.99. Good timing, too expensive IMHO

    But that's ok, because I wouldn't have minded if they'd released later, so I'll just pretend they're going to and buy it when the price comes down

    I agree Steven, I find the price a little too close to the 360.

    The 360 Core is now £199 if I'm not mistaken, so there's really not much between them.
    Come Christmas and some potential new 360 bundles, it could make it a very close match in terms of price.

    £180 with no Wii Sports is a BIG disappointment. The price-hike over the US just leaves a bad enough taste to dampen any enthusiasm I had for it.

    Steven, I've just read your headline mate and I think there may be a mistake.

    My understanding from the conference was that the European bundle would include Wii Sports.

    Yowch - that's more than a tad steeper than I hoped. I'd budgeted for up to £150 (based on a $250 price in Japan...), but £180 is more than I'm willing to pay, especially since it doesn't look like (I only skim-read the article, but...) that comes with any games.

    Really sorry guys! Parm is right, you will get Wii sports with the price

    Jeez that's unexpected... and rather foolish IMO, far too close to the 360 price.

    That's a bit better at least.
