ndreamer Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 $399.95 and released on december 7th. full press release at http://ninwifi.com/226/Australian-Wii-release-date.html
Nick Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Nintendo just made it that much harder for themselves and this machine. $400 is absolutely rediculous. It was over inflated at US$250 (AU$330), but this just pushes that boundry so much higher. Hyper inflation isn't even getting close. Microsoft will no doubt drop the price of the 360 this season, and when they do, it'll be a big hitter. That Core 360 will come down to $399, and when it does, it will be very difficult for someone to justify their purchase of a Wii, when they will never have played one before, and they will have a 360. No demo pods will hurt Nintendo, and this disgustingly over priced RRP will hurt even more. Wii Sports does not warrent an increase of $70 over the US counterparts, especially when they too are getting the pack in. Nintendo never ceases to amaze me. And it's always in the wrong way. Good for you Nintendo on getting the thing here this year, but my money will be spent on an import. Even after shipping it will be the cheaper option, and I'll get it before Dec 6.
Cleveland_Jr Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Right on. I was expecting 350 at the very most. I am pleased that we're getting it this year though...even if it is kinda late. Since we're getting wii sports with the console does that count as the free game for my toysrus pre-order? i sure hope not.
