can we please stop putting speculative prices up? Especially right now. Just stuff reported from the event or press releases. Otherwise it'll be too difficult to see whats real or not.

and isn't it odd that they'd restrict equipment in the UK but not in the US?

Final secrets..

That Australian price would be £159 with Wii Sports in the UK. Not bad really.

Is the PS3 $1000 in Aussie?

Yes. :lol

TEH HELMET - IT IS COMING

 

[Amir0x]

I want wiisports packed in

(for the same price of course )

why you could buy it seperately and it'd be cheaper and then consumers who don't like trash could opt to buy something else

 

[flipping_heck]

Eurogamer doesn't work for me anyways, either no signal or too much traffic

 

[mrklaw]

Good price and date for Aussie.

If Oz are getting it this year, then Europe must be.

Woah @ dec and how much in US$?

399.95 AUD
Australia Dollars = 300.618 USD
United States Dollars

 

[MrPing1000]

I think the whole not putting wii sports in in Japan is a smart move. It makes the Wii look rediculously cheap compared to the PS3 + nobodies gonna buy an xbox360 so it's vital that they look good vs Sony. Everywhere else they have all 3 to contend with a pack in gives them something extra and leaves elbow room for price cuts later down the line which they may need due to Microsoft more than Sony.

im pretty sure the Wii sports packin idea was done for the sole purpose of pissing off Amir0x, you watch, the very second he registers his machine with Nintendo they will drop the price down to $200.

 

[McBacon]

Check out mah sweet Gamecube!

I think it may also have something to do with the way all Western non-gaming media seemed to have gone mad over Wii Sports ever since E3. Any mention of Wii is always followed by it. In the UK Wii Sports has got Nintendo mentioned in loads of places, from the BBC to newspapers who usually give Nintendo pretty harsh (or non-existant) treatment.

Wii Sports seems to be a good publicity machine.

 

[Spotless Mind]

Well, i'm happy.

 

[mrklaw]

whats the sales tax in Australia, and is that $399 including tax?

Like I said earlier in the thread, all of Nintendo's hilarious dumb moves this week seem to have been custom-fitted for Amir0x-piss-off specifications, so I have no doubt you're right.

 

[SumGamer]

Seems like David spotted them. The update has been stopped. NO!!!!!

hmm come on Eurogamer.

 

[yjs666]

10% Goods and Services Tax (GST); and that price includes GST. So it's about the same as the US price.
