Hey hey, US$399 is more expensive than S$559. The Singapore price includes tax, the US price doesn't. Alright, every prices in S'pore are GST included.

Sonic + Pokemon are games nobody wants here. We already got shops selling them brand new at half the retail price yet the stupid distributor wants to bundle them in.
Wii is not officially launched in S'pore by Nintendo. But there is an official local version with the pack-in local 220V power and local warranty. The distributor Maxsoft is the sole distributor with Nintendo license in Singapore.
Well, I can accept the price S$499, but not the stupid S$659.
So, I am guessing Wii shall become the least owned system in S'pore. As I said, somehow my fellow countryman prefer graphics over innovation.
Similar situations in other Asia countries?? Outside Japan and Korea particularly.
