Who cares how many dollars it is. We pay in € and 349€ for the premium package is a good price. The conversion rate with consoles has always been 1:1 between € and $ so why complain now?

People have complained about this for ages. It's not like it's new. We have every right to complain when we feel like we get screwed by the price.

yeah but like i said, if you calculate the tax out of it it isn't so bad, nintendo or other companies have to live with it.

sure there is still a difference of 25-30 dollar in most eu countries without tax for the $350 black wii u but therefore, at least for ps3 and 360, we get better prices at retail under the rrp if i'm not wrong. maybe not the first half year after release but then.

as example i can buy a vita for 200€ at german amazon. this would be $258 with tax and $217 without. on american amazon, the vita is $250 so us-americans have to pay more for a vita if you only count the price without tax.

and i could do the same with ps3 or 360, not sure about nintendo consoles.
