Rummy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nooooooo way will it be £199.99 and no way will Amazon give a proper price promise on that hardware. I'm expecting $349.99/£299.99 with Nintendoland packed in (along with a Wiimote Plus & Nunchuck) I'd go with Shopto's one. They actually will honour their price promise! Naaah, I still think that's way off the mark! What about it is enough to justify such a high price?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Amoleo Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 and it's been cancelled. It was obviously far too cheap for a new console release. I'm still thinking £250-£300 is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I still think it can't be that high unless it's for a large markup. Having said that don't forget the wii turned profit in all territories on launch, I estimated roughly a £30 profit per console in the UK compared to foreign market prices). Tech is so rapidly advancing these days though that I fail to see how it could really cost as high as people are 'expecting' without a large profit margin on launch.

Ike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Preorders are up at GAME. There's a £20 deposit though, have they done that before with a console (online)? No price final price listed or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Preorders are up at GAME. There's a £20 deposit though, have they done that before with a console (online)? No price final price listed or anything. They did it with the Vita. Which they didn't sell. And you could only swap it for in-store credit. Which they then stopped accepting. Edit: Missed the bit in brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 A mandatory £20 deposit for pre-ordering the Wii U online with Game? What a disgrace... paying up-front for any of a pre-order for a console online should be purely optional. Technically with Game you won't be seeing that £20 again either because even though it counts as part-payment you just know that they will try and sting you for an extra £25 - £50 be it added on to the RRP or via their console insurance policies. *sigh* I'm looking forward to the launch of the Wii U but it doesn't half make you miss the 'simpler' times of console launches from years gone by...

Rummy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Probably just trying to line their pockets in case they go bust again innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm going to put down a deposit for 20 quid of @Rummy's money, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
