I wonder if Media Markt/Saturn will do similar launch deals like with X360 (free Wireless Controller with the Premium X360) or PS3 (free game with the 599€ PS3).

Glad Nintendo pulled off the worldwide launch. Though the Euro price is crazy, at least they include tax with the final price over there, and um, they get a console. Component, and Wii Sports for $250 in U.S is a good deal to me, so nyah to the haters.

What? No, I'm ****ing livid. To quote my post from another forum, "If you don't think that this is a bad price, you've got your head too far up Nintendo's arse to see when it's got its dick up yours."
It´s pretty reasonable, for european standards at least.
Of course, Europe gets it later and more expensive, but that is a common of European market. We have the most expensive market and the one that usually gets thing later. Three weeks is a better treatment that 4 months or almost one damned year (yes, I´m looking to you PS3 and PSP). The normall difference between the hardware japanese launch and the european one uses to be of months, and now we get Wii in weeks, is not a bad deal.
So, in general, ok news, nothing to cheer, but at least it has been more reasonable than other times.

I'm at work, and I just heard Nintendo on the news update of BBC Radio 1 (one of the world's most popular radio stations).
It was basically just saying that "Nintendo is planning to release their new console, 'Wii,' on December 8th. Pre-orders are to start this weekend, and it will retail at 179GBP."

Nope, I agree with ya.Aurora said:
I'm not just fed up with the conversion but with the value of the system as a whole. What I mean is, I think we (US, JPN, and EU) are all paying too much for what we're getting. Eu are just paying that bit extra as per usual.
I think £150 would have been plenty. I'd have liked a couple of controllers, Wii Sports and a proper game bundled for the £179 price.
But it's launch. March price drop ftw.

Lets see.. Wii plus zelda (already preordered) 310 Euro, Wii play + extra wii-mote I'm guessing this package will sell for about 60 euro's , and another nunchuck for 20 euro's
that makes for 390 Euro's.
I paid 868 guilders (old Dutch currency) for gamecube + 3 controllers + 2 games + memorycard.
868 / 2.2 = ±394 euro's <- isn't correct. I just checked and found out that I payed 481 Euro's for the gamecube package so I'm paying 90 euro's less this time yay

If we'd joined the Euro you wouldn't be bursting a blood-vessel about it, but then again we'd have silly looking money
I'd rather pay my 12 quid!
I'm thinking of the collective European raping, ~£50.

"A proper game" is a bit much, but a second controller would have been good. I can't see any of my friends coughing up £45 to play Wii Sports.
I'm new to PAL territories and I'm going to the US for xmas. Should I pick up a Wii there?
I don't know anything about compatibility (RGB, Scart cables vs. what you get in the US package; 50 and 60hz vs. NTSC tv) or exactly how region-free this thing is.
Anyone have adivce for me?

Wait. I honestly have never seen the point in getting a system, any system, at launch.
Is your craving for Zelda really that bad?

Running a Zelda site? Could I have a look?
But if that's the case, then I suppose it's entirely justified. I'd still recommend waiting for your own release date, wherever you are, though.

i personally feel £180 is a bargain. i have preordered with play.com already.
in a few months it will drop to 150 or less but i cannot wait that long. if you dont like the price wait a bit and im sure it will come close to the price you prefer.

There is an interview where you can find that Wii Cooking existed. Straight from the producers mouth who showed you the teaser as well last TGS during the Wii video that also showed Wii Sports and Wii Music for the first time.
