I knew it! Always the same story. Man, I´m glad I´m moving to Japan next year. Just 170 euros over there, yeah! I´m a big Nintendofan, but this price is hard. I guess Nintendo is actually making money by selling the console alone. You poor brits, you really get f***** by all of them.
I just checked the japanese nintendo-website. The price ist 25,000 Yen. That´s around 212 Us-Dollar or 168 Euro. The package just includes one wii-remote and one nunchaku-controller. No game for the japanese! So the prize in the US is okay, I guess. Europeans will be f***** again. I bet we have to pay 250 Euros.
Funny thing, Japan will get the wii after you US-Guys. On December the second.
