Drink In Cheap Wii! Sub-£100 Gathers Pace

It had nothing to do with what anyone else was saying,
YES IT DID!! HE ADMITED IT HIMSELF!!!

Perhaps I should have qualified my statement with the word "useful". Posting "he said, she said" comments or replying to yourself to cover more ground doesn't do much for your credibility.

By now, I'm sure most people here will have formed an opinion of you, it might not be a favourable one. If you do wish to be on good terms with people here, you might consider changing your posting style. You might even choose to post in more than one thread.

As to dr_faulk, his initial reply to you was his 27th message since he started posting here in March. He was well on his way to establishing his "voice" on the forums.

You're right. =( And I apologise profusely. That other s**t-head was making me pretty angry with his sarky comments, and I did state this earlier, but what you said was the straw the broke the camels back (poked the camel's eyeballs were my exact words).

I wasn't scared, just pissed off, and it wasn't because you were new either - I've never even noticed the number of posts somebody has made until recently.

I totally over reacted and apologise. But maybe next time we can keep comments about people's countries aside? =D

So on the topic....

Are we really going to get this sub £100 Wii? I wish Nintendo would feck that TGS nonsense and just announce it!

OK if you want to say you overreacted, fine. You weren't the only one who was offended by what he callswhich I take as referring to the post where he says:. And I found his distress at not being as safely anonymous as he thought he was in his tiny glass house almost as amusing as the virtual musc of its panes facing Eire smashing in retrospect.

I don;t think so. It MAY be launched in Japan at a figure that equated to £97.56 or something, but once the wonders of global exploitation (and 17.5% VAT!!!!) have had their way, we'll be looking at £139.99.

I hope I'm wrong - but to be honest, as long as it's under £200, I'm having one!

thats sub-$200.00 US (in US, obviously?)right?

Nintendo has two choices:

It acquires more marketshare at a lower pricepoint or it makes more money at a higher one.

Obvious I know. £200 in the UK wouldn't surprise me. Perhaps ever £229. Equally £170 or so is a possibility. £200 with two WiiMotes and Zelda makes a strong offering. Pick up Monkey Ball day one along with Red Steel. Then lock all the doors!

Under 250 Euros/170GBP.

If it's 250 EUR, it'll be more like £180 than £170.

Under 250 EUR directly equates to under £168.94, add the UK's higher VAT on to it, plus a little "rip-off Britain" tax and we're at £180 no problem. See the PSP, it was 250 EUR and £180.

That said, I'm with the doc, sub £200 and it's moving to my house.

But doesn't everyone agree that it'll still be more attractive since the games will be max €60, instead of €70 or €80 (X360).

I wonder how much extra Wii controllers will cost.

But we don't *know* that yet. Just specuation...

Okay, I agree with you that it's not confirmed, but how the hell could they cost anymore? All this talk of cut-down development time and cheaper dev-kits means that the games should stay the same price, or even be cheaper!
