im still getting one, although im debating getting an import though given the wii is region-free from 1st party developers... 3rd party though can choose if they want to region-lock the console...
not true, computer prices are the same price here than the states, you cant build a pc for less over there, GC games are half as much in the states as they are here too :(

£180 it is here.
I'm not buying one now because that is so gay.
Americans get it for 130 quid and we need to pay 180.

the thing thats shit about a lot of games now is, they try so hard to make them real, they forget there supposd to be fun, mario, sonic, r-type are all amazing games that have never set the world on fire with gfx.

Its totally different from the other consoles rob.

No fancy hd graphics or trying to have the most processing power or any of that.

They are all for having games that everybody can join in and, as said, the fancy controller.

I'm tempted to buy one actually.

From what i remember it's gonna be £150ish probably, and being Nintendo it's aimed more at younger users, more entertaining games, and werid controllers, which allow more interaction with games.

Graphics and power won't be as good as the other consoles though.

But like i said, it's playability more than graphics, as usual with Nintendo consoles :)
