Marshmellow Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I was wondering if you guys could help me estimate how much money to put aside for the launch date since you guys know prolly a little bit more about pricing then i do. All i want to get is the actually console, 4 games, all extra addons such as the DVD player, and 4 controllers im guessing its gonna be about $700 but what do you think?

Ren of Heavens Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 $200 (console) + 4x$50 (4 games) + $40 (classic controller) + 3x$40 (3 extra Wii controllers) + $40 (DVD-kit) = $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm setting myself a budget of £300-ish. Hopefully I can get: Wii console. Extra Wiimote. Zelda: Twilight Princess. Wii Sports. Tempted to buy more games, but I just want to enjoy 1 or 2 at a time. If I have cash left over, it'll be for an extra Wiimote and/or the classic controller. I'm also looking around for a WiFi router (separate from budget) so I can play the Wii and Lite anywhere in the house without lugging wires around.

Tellyn Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I take it no one is getting VC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 worst case scenario I'd say: Wii - £300 3 extra controllers - £150 possible additional accessories (nunchuck, shotgun attachment etc) - £300 10 wii games - £500 £1250 I'm expecting the cost to be considerably less than that, and I imagine I'll be buying fewer than 10 games. but if you have £1000 you'll be more than fine.

Zell Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'll most likely get: One console (with controller) 2 more controllers (they will come with the nunchuck attachment) 2 or 3 games 1 VC controller If i can get it in a sort of bundle, I'm hoping for a total price of around £250.

Guest Stefkov Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 im getting 1 Wii = £150 1 extra controller = £30/£40 3/4 games = £120/£160 classic controller = £15/£20 total £315/£370 so for me i got to save up at least £400.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowV7 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 You can subract about 10% if you preorder online.., That's what i'm gonna do so I can get an extra game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm counting on €220 for the console €110 for two games €30 for an extra controller €10 for the virtual console controller (it's a piece of plastic, how expensive can it be) €30 of spending on the VC That makes €400 for me.

Smiter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I take it no one is getting VC games. Oh, I'll get a VC game if I can see what will be available at launch. I've got Sin & Punishment pencilled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 OK, if how much should I save for the following: Zelda Twilight Princess Fire Emblem (If not launch game, then I'll pick something similar) Extra Controller Wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Fire emblem won't be a launch I think ,it will be a killer app they will use a month or two after the launch to keep a good flow of games going.I'm planning on getting about 3 VC games on launch day.

The3rdChildren Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I probably won't be going over £300 on launch day. That should hopefully buy me the good games and an extra Wiimote/controller. I guess I'll also need the best TV connection lead and of course the Shell controller. Better make that £400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your buying 10 games at launch. Wtf?! You wont be able to play them all and by the time you do they will cost about £10 each. Wait for some better games. And you're paying how much!? Do you have enough left to pay the mortgage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm getting as much money as I can, specially since I'm buying both TP versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for some better games. And you're paying how much!? Do you have enough left to pay the mortgage? as I said, I imagine I'll buy fewer than 10 games. I'll get maybe a couple of single player games, most of the games I'll get would be good multiplayer games. at the moment, since so little is firm I'm assuming worst case scenario for my bank account. and the mortgage is fine thanks. basically the tax man over taxed me a little, and I only noticed recently. I'm getting a few grand back, so figure I may as well spend it, since in my head it "feels" like unearnt money. hopefully I'll change my mind before the Wii comes out, there are plenty of more sensible things to invest money in than a games console and games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'll get the console, another joypad, 4 games, VGA cable (if theres one out...). I'll probably pick up a 2GB SD card as well, for additional storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
