Posted August 23, 2006 i remember payign £180 for my cube, with an extra controller and pikmin from currys a couple of years ago, so if they do the same kinds of deals like that again but maybe more games, then im happy with that. I think, i havnt actually payed that off to my mum yet, i payed £90 of it and loaned the rest of my parents, i havnt payed them back... yeh but was that at launch? the cube on it's own for me when i bought it (christmas the year of release) was £139.99 i believe. we could very well see Wii selling for the same amount or a little bit more.

Posted August 24, 2006 i don't mind paying a bit more, it is a new machine after all, with a bold new direction. more than happy with £150, or £175 with a game maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2006 At launch, the GC was £129.99; it was meant to be £179.99, but they dropped the launch price about 4 weeks before the release. Probably down to the Xbox failing to sell well at it's £299.99 launch price, which was cut by £100 after 6 weeks on sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2006 I hope the Wii games are cheaper than 360/PS3 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2006 hasn't that been confirmed by the likes of EA already, who aren't raising their game prices for Wii? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2006 Under €200 and I would be very, very happy. €199.99 sounds beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i see the wii above £200 then i will be dissapointed, probably very, but i will still get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2006 If the Wii launches at 250 euros I might wait a while for a good deal, with a pack in game or so. 250 euros for just the console and a Wiimote is a ripoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2006 Reuters updates their news report: http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=technologyNews&storyID=2006-08-24T163451Z_01_L23314939_RTRUKOC_0_US-MEDIA-NINTENDO-EUROPE.xml&archived=False Below $215 in Europe? That is below €164 and £113... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25, 2006 It says less than 25000 yen ($215) in Japan. The only thing confirmed is the lower than 250 euros thing. I wonder why Reuters changed the title without changing the article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
