Hardware prices in the UK aren't as fixed as the US, you will never pay RRP in the UK unless you're a sucker and just buy at the first shop that has one, which would be any electrical store. I got my Wii-U Premium for £200 about a month ago and not from HMV. Zaavi was doing the Premium for £225 for a few weeks. It's ALWAYS available at £250 (Premium), 8GB is available for £189 in a similar fashion, that is the real accepted price if you can't wait for a deal to get it for less. The HMV sale is a one off because HMV are in the shit and will try anything to spark some interest in it's stores. Admittedly it did come with Zombie-U as well for £200 which is a massive price cut, but Zombie-U can be purchased for £23 so it's not quite the £140 you mention. |
Nintendo hasn't set a fixed price for the whole of Europe for the WiiU. So the UK is not the exception this time.
Doesn't make anything you say wrong though :)
