Wii to be under £100?

[knightendo]

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.

if its 200 euro or less im happy.

 

QFT. I want to pay less or the same i payed for my gamecube.

[knightendo]

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.

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.

I hope the Wii games are cheaper than 360/PS3 games.

Me too especially we keep being told the Wii will be eaiser and cheaper to develop for.

[knightendo]

hasn't that been confirmed by the likes of EA already, who aren't raising their game prices for Wii?

[conzer16]

Under €200 and I would be very, very happy. €199.99 sounds beautiful.

actually i didnt get my cube for a couple of months till after launch, it was quite a long time.

If i see the wii above £200 then i will be dissapointed, probably very, but i will still get it.

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.

i guess with a game and extra controller that's an great price then. if it was the same for Wii with that kinda bundled would be fine

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...

[DiemetriX]

Good news. Good news indeed

[DCK]

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.
