I'm kinda surprised to see so many $ signs in this thread, given that the OP link is only discussing the confirmed EU bundle.

Adding the Wiimote and Steering Wheel is a nice touch, but hopefully there's an extra bundle for people who want the bare minimum (system+game) to keep the price low. The game guide seems pointless...didn't even realize they made those for Mario Kart.

BenVTrigger said it'll be $350 for the U.S., and he's said to be a reliable source. Makes perfect sense as I can't see Nintendo throwing all that stuff in for free.

Ben said Gamestop has a bundle listed at $349; he specifically says in his first post that an additional, cheaper one could be a possibility.

And if a $299 bundle is planned, then it makes perfect sense that the $349 price would indeed include all of those extra things to increase the value to the consumer while making Nintendo money.  A Wiimote costs them very little to manufacture and things like the plastic wheel and players guide are chump change to them.
