So yesterday they announced the Wii's release date in the USA, which is November 19th and $250. Instantly people started whining about how $250 is too high, which irritates the crap out of me, especially as it comes with a game.
Well, today they've announced the UK release date and price, which is December 8th and £179. That's about $340. LOL! Way to make people in the UK pay almost $100 more! :D Luckily it's not going to be region coded (at least for Nintendo's games, they're leaving it up to developers to decide whether they want to lock out their games) so I'll just buy one from the states. Sigh. Also Metroid Prime 3 is no longer going to be a launch title, and the Gamecube version of the new Zelda game is no longer being released on the same day, it's coming out in December too.
£180 is too high a price. It's only £20 cheaper than an Xbox 360 now! At least the PS3 has been delayed in Europe for 5 months, so there's not so much competition. Rar.
