I hope that is a miss print.

Say it aint so!

(They tend to have a higher price than most... so it could still mean under 300)

[Strell]

Can you troll somewhere else?

Because we all know gameshout.com is hugely reliable.

Oh sorry, I forgot no negative views on the Wii Board.

I still would like to know if this has been proven false.
I wish they would release their price already so everyone can stop speculating. No matter what it will be pretty low in price, so why not release it?

[AHEADAMUS]

It of course hasn't been PROVEN false because Nintendo hasn't announced the price. But it's foundationless. Every maximum price given so far has been 250 dollars, euros, and yen (x100).

Come on.

[Ikohn4ever]

you cant use prices from other countries it doesnt convert well

No.

It's that there's no information until it's released.

Take your train wreck posts elsewhere.

Take your wanabe sarcastic wit to that Gamefaqs link...

I'm not the one that wrote the article, don't get all pissy at me.

[Strell]

So I guess you place gameshout.com on par to EA and ign.com?

It won't be over 250. I doubt it will be over 200.

So take your bullshit trolling elsewhere.

Oops my hand slipped...

Stop trying to mess with me!

*HISSSS!*

Just speculating on the EURO price. Although it is sometimes overpriced.

[topnotch97]

$322?!?! is that in Canadian Dollar? or in Hong Kong Dollar? or in Mickey Mouse Dollar?

frankly, conversion is not my thing. :lol:

250 euros equals to about 322 dollars.

Europe tends to overprice things a bit.

1 Euro is about 1.40 Dollars.

I believe the PS3 is retailing there (for small bundel) $535.

Nintendo has already stated that it would be less than $250. Yes that could mean $249.99 but there is no way it will be $322.

[The Crotch]

Although for now the pricing is not exact, it will not exceed $250 in America or 25,000 yen in Japan. No estimate was announced for the European market...
-Gamespot



So why exactly is this a surprise to anyone? Aren't consoles normally more expensive in Europe?

Europe does not overprice things. You are just ignorant of how things work over there with regard to prices. Read up on the value-added tax (VAT) and educate yourself.

[Spades22]

Nintendo said it would be less than 250...it won't be 322$...Come on do some research before you post such ridiculous things! At least the 170 dollar price tag was possible....(And hopefully correct xD)

[The Crotch]

Once again: Nintendo didn't say that it would be > $250 in Europe.

[David85]

Things in Europe cost more, what a shock!!!

[furyk]

That's about what was expected in Europe. The premium PS3 will sell for $768 in converted currency ($801 in the United Kingdom) and a 360 core at $385 converted currency.

So yeah, this is a legit topic posted like a troll.

[BKPartisan]

Well I heard you won't be able buy it unless you trade in a Gamecube and also burn an original print of Earthbound and mail in the ashes. Then you will have the rights to use the console for one lunar month, at the end of which you will have to renew your license by performing a "favor" to be specified at the time of NoA's choosing. Let's see, where did I put that link...

[mykevermin]

The Core 360 right now costs 299 Pounds, which makes any comparison of pounds-dollars based on the exchange rate a moot point.

You're reading into it more than you should, OP (though even Gamespot wrote about this price recently, so Strell can get offa his mighty horse about *that*).

[David85]

Europe has taxes and other shit going on, why people don't understand that I don't know.

And the Euro is not $1.40, it's never been that high. Right now something like $1.2837.

[MarkMark]

This was so obviously a spite thread.

Nintendo already said no more than $250 but maybe less for usa and thats all I care about. IF we assume a euro is worth $1.20 then the Wii woul cost around $300 in Europe. Since everything costs more in Europe how is this suprising?

[-Never4ever-]

Converted to dollars, the price looks steep, though consoles in Europe are typically more expensive, partly due to taxes. For instance, the Xbox 360 Core System retails for 299 euros, or about $385 - whereas the system is $299 in the States.

And there you have it, problem solved, now lets lock this motherfucka down and resume bussiness as normal.

[keithp]

Aww, I so wanted to see Strell finish opening his can of whoop-ass....

[banpeikun]

Here's what strell would say:

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE SMART AND CHEEKY WHEN THEY POST BLATANT BULLSHIT IN EVERY LAST GODDAMN TOPIC IN THE WORLD?

STOP IT.

YOU ARE NOT FUCKING ORIGINAL OR AMUSING. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT IT. WE _FUCKING_ KNOW. WE JUST DON'T FUCKING CARE. QUIT FUCKING UP TOPICS WITH YOUR INANE BULLSHIT.

[itspaidgasterblaster]

Put it this way in US a DS lite retails for $129.99 In Mexico it retails if you convert to dollars about $300.00.

[GrimNecroWizard]

I'm tempted to make a "Wii $xxx.xx?!" Topic
