Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What a good time to become a Wii owner

gawalls on 17 December 2007

As many people can vouch the last year at times has been difficult for us Wii owners with either crap or nothing being released for times but as I have spent the last 6 months or so buying games from Amazon and I keep up to date online of new releases but the weekend I went into a local game shop in Camden / London.

 

Imagine my suprise when the Wii now has as much space as the 360 for games and the pre owned section is very impressive with bargains such

 

£10 to £15

--------------

Prince of Persia

Korinpa

Mercury Madness

Splinter Cell

 

Under £20

------------------

Raymans Ravin Rabbits

Excite Trucks

SSX blur

Fifa 08

Marvel Ultimate alliance

Tony Hawks Downhill Jam

Super Paper Mario

Barnyard

Resident Evil 4

Heatseeker

Blazin Angels

Play (with Remote - cant believe anyone took this back for trade in)

 

Under £25

---------------

Zelda Twilight Princess

Metroid Prime 3

 

Under £30

---------------

Super Mariio Galaxy

 

Looking at the cheap choices available to new Wii owners now, the whole 'FAD' label people add is now officially pathetic and made me think for £250 a fantastic Wii pack could be put together this xmas.

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

wow they sell Super Paper Mario and Fifa for under 30 euros? No wonders the wii software sales have crept up a bit against PS3/360 when the games cost half as much. At least here almost no PS3/360 game is in that price range.

It's pounds, not euros Kyros.

20.00 GBP = 28.0568 EUR


United Kingdom Pounds Euro
1 GBP = 1.40284 EUR 1 EUR = 0.712840 GBP

Therefore, Kyros is right.

thing is as more and more places get pre owned displays like this one - this is going to help those unsures about the Wii decide.

Now we just need Ninty to release a classic games brand in 08 sometime

"It's pounds, not euros Kyros."

I already converted it with google. 20 pounds = 28 Euro. PS3 and 360 games cost 50-70Euro here with 59 being normal. Older games are at best at 50 Euro.
