SaveUK Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Speaking at its European Wii press conference today, Nintendo has finally revealed that its forthcoming console will hit shelves across the territory on 8 December, priced at £179 in the UK and 249 Euros in Europe. Games will cost between £34-£39 (49-50 Euros). Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 249 euros currently equals 167.70 pounds. 50 euros equals 33.68 pounds. So 7% cheaper for the console in europe and 1 to 8.6% cheaper for games. Fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Bloke Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I think they said it'll be 25,000Yen in Japan which is about £113, so they're applying a healthy mark up for UK customers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xafier Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 yup 25,000 yen in Japan (£113.46)... $250 in america ($133.16)... both working out a LOT less than £179... I wish they wouldn't keep raping this country, were a massive market, for a tiny little island we buy shedloads of stuff due to how dense our population is... yet we end up getting raped on almost everything from abroad!

xafier Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 seems play.com now is taking pre-orders: http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/GENBRW/3-/1032617/Nintendo_Wii_Console_+_Wii_Sports/Product.html £179.99 for the console and 1 game games seem to have dropped from £50 each to £40 each now on their site... I'd expect them to drop a little more before the 8th december knowing play.com cos they're usually pretty cheap... tempted to pre-order but I think I'll hold off and try and persuade my mum to get me one for Xmas although, will be weird requesting a cute little console for Xmas at 21 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joff Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Is was definitely expecting it to be sub £150, still 179's not that bad...a bit close to the price of a core 360 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
