It would be really stupid if the Wii's price is what's stopping HD-only gamers from buying it.

its stopping me! id buy the wii if its 100$. its 350 in my country.

It's almost as much where I live come to think of it.

How so? If someone does not value a product as much as its marketprice, how is it stupid not to boy?

For me, it's not a matter of price but a matter of time. I just don't have enough free time to support another console.

Im in the same boat as well,  I can think of about 4-5 games I really want on it but with my other 2 consoles and my PC I just dont have the time.  

I have actually almost bought one,  had a Wii and a couple games in my cart at Best Buy one day,  but the more I thought about it the more I knew I would have to give up other games just to play it or it would sit and collect dust,  so I put it back.

thats why i cant have two consoles.  the ps3 and 360 are at the price they launched at. but the wii is 100 dollars more expensive then launch price. also games here range from 70 till 100$. and games never get price cuts.

and macs are 3k here!

It;s the exact thing over here man. We Europeans always get the shaft when it comes to pricing.

It's not theft if it's a gift.  And no, I'd save it for The Last Guardian. <3

$50, I sold mine for $200. The hardware's not the problem, the software is just way to expensive and no Wii game is worth the full price their charging for it (In Australia). I might just wait until Nintendo release their next console, buy a Wii and mod it or something.

Overall, I'm really not that interested.


Yeah I have some friends in Australia, and gaming is an expensive hobby indeed there. TBH, I think it takes dedication to be a gaming hobbist outside of the States cause cost is ridiculous , lol
