Competition for games/consoles in the UK is absolutley amazing this gen. It's not just Wii, everyone is selling waaay below RRP. The big stores selling Fifa for <£25. Unprecedented.

When we were still at £1=$2 we were putting the US to shame (ex taxes), a situation I've never seen in my lifetime.

Everyone in europe should be buying from the UK if they can handle the whole language thing.

I don't expect many people from countries like France or Germany (where games are usually translated, amirite?) to buy games in another language, but for smaller countries, almost all games are in English anyway (at most the booklet and back cover are translated).

 

I wouldn't but plenty do given that English is a second language for a lot of Europeans especially if prices can be half what you currently pay. On Topic the article is bullshit. Wii in the UK didn't get a price drop like the rest of the world, it had WSR/M+ bundled instead.

Wii on its own soon dropped to £140 once the WSR bundle (£180) was announced. If the average was £155 then some idiots were still paying £180 when they could have had WSR thrown in for free. Not suprised WHSmith effed up. They've been in trouble for years. WHSmith is kept alive by its airport/train station "monopoly".
