It was said that Wii will come with a cable like the 360 cable (with composite and component on the same cable) but then it was said that it just comes with a standard composite cable...... i wish they would give us component in the box for once GRRRR Oh and i'm pretty sure ign said that the cubes component cable will not fit in the Wii, shame.

Urgh, the battery argument again. Wiimote is meant to be wireless. it's just not practical to play games like Wii sports with wires. AA's allow you to keep playing without having to charge or plug in your controller. You just put in some fully charged ones (i already got some rechargables and a top notch charger which takes 15 mins to fully charge them) or some new standard batteries. AA'S ARE THE BEST OPTION

Gameplay's game prices are the things i'm really interested in, they tend to be the cheapest around for new releases... also i want to know what accesories are available like component cable etc

The sad thing is, i've done that too I think i'll probably have to calm myself down when i get it home. The excitment you get when your taking a new nintendo console home is intense! a nice fat cigar should calm me down enough

i would. i loved vice city and i think they could add some really interesting things to a new gta game with the Wiimote. San andrea's was just too big imo and the story seemed boring to me.

You would get 6 months interest free if you spent £195 on an Argos card, 3 months interest free on over £95... you have to be 18 and have at least a part time job. But be warned, interest is around 28% if you dont clear the balance before your interest free time is up. ... although i work for argos and getting argos card sign ups is one of our store targets i dont for a second recommend them if your not good with money. I got my tv on one so they are usefull, but if i missed paying it off by even one day past the interest free time i would be charged 28% interest from the FULL amount which can be a lot. I'm just providing info not trying to sell them btw

They should have an offer on the controllers whne you buy them both together, say you get the Wiimote and nunchuck for £39.99... that would be a more appealing price £38.... there we go then... thats fine with me

Idiot. :horse:

http://gonintendo.com/?p=5655 urghhhhhh more money out of my pocket now, I really was hoping for a multi cable like the 360 has GRRRRRR i thought they said it comes with a component cable during a Q & A or something? or am i mistaken?

Good point about microsoft possibly dropping the price of 360 there... i hope they do! then nintendo would have no choice but to follow suit. imo nintendo should have made it a lower price even if it meant they make no profit or even a small loss on it. They have a lot of ground to make in the UK, £179.99 wont help much

Well i worked the price out based off 360's price difference for USA to UK and i got roughly £165... but thats the reduced price of the 360 core version (£10 off)... so really £179.99 is near enough bang on to what microsoft is adding on for the UK 360 core vs USA 360 core. I'm sure there will be offers anyway.... at xmas time argos always give £10 gift vouchers when you spend £100, so i'll be getting my Wii form there with some staff discount and a nice voucher to help me with the rest of my games/hardware i want.... It's sad that we get ripped off so much here, but thats a brits life i guess i've already roughly worked out i'll be getting a Wii (with Wii sports obviously), launch game, classic controller for £195 give or take £5 so thats already a £40 saving. I'm happy with that!

I guess i take the youngest 25 year old crown then :p

i think the price should be £149.99 with Wii sports packed in, nintendo have a lot impressing to do in the UK.

I'm sure they have nick names for us brits... like the french call us 'roast beef'. I've worked with a french guy, he called me that all the time, i thought it was funny.

If europe gets white and black then i'd probably go for black just to annoy the japs and yanks

Bigtime dumbasses! Someone really should get sacked for all the mistakes over the past few weeks. I just hope it will be in europe before xmas, i want staff discount when i buy it damn it!! Off topic: Anyone else think the price of Wiimote and nunchuck attactment is far to expensive?

oh btw guys... i e-mailed my work (Argos) and gave em some shit. Behold : http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ArgosBrowseCounts?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&categoryId=42746&languageId=-1&top=N

I'm worried about europe getting it this year, 4 million and america get the biggest share. So does that mean America gets 2m, Japan gets 1m and europe 1m? is that enough for japan and europe?? Come to think of it, with them saying America gets the biggest share it actually might be like a bit of confirmation that europe will get Wii in 2006. Let me explain: Lets say europe has to wait till 2007, Nintendo have stated more will go to America.... so if it were just Japan and USA that would mean probably 3 million to USA and 1 million to Japan... that just seems wrong to me and something they wouldn't do.... they wouldn't, would they?? AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH HELP!!!!

I'm also getting worried i have this awful feeling europe will get raped as usual. If they make it 2007 then i'm definatly importing. So many games i want, and it's christmas! i'm gonna have to do some serious overtime! ***damn you nintendo!!!***

The controls really do look fantastic now i can see a nice gfx improvment too :awesome:

1st of december would be a nice date, and the price is just what i wanted. But i have doubts on your 'source'.

ok xbox360 is $299 (core) in America, Wii will be $249. xbox360 core is £199 in the UK, thats a third off the US price then just switch the currency symbol. So that should mean the Wii will be roughly a third off the US price ($249), that ends up being roughly £165. Thats not using any currency conversion either, so no flaming about tax being worse in the UK as this should represent the tax rape in the UK. I thought the price would be £149.99.... but around £165 would be ok by me still. btw.... did anything get mentioned about DVD playback?

How much is a xbox360 in America?

i think so.... where's a countdown clock when you need one!

i was confused earlier because i had no idea the events would go on for that long. They better not let us down this time.... without knowing a price or date the Wii seems fictional in a way
