How much do Wii points cost in the UK via the Wii Shop Channel? Because in terms of Wii Points for USD, that amazon deal is highway robbery. 23.96 pounds = 46.60 USD=the equivalent of 4660 Wii points straight from the Wii Shop Channel.

Everything is cheaper in the US...great place to go for holidays

Hell, consdering how much the dollar has devalued in the last year and a half I'm sure for you Europeans going to America is almost like when we go to Mexico or something. I remember when I as in Mozambique a 1000ml bottle of pretty high quality beer at a bar or resuarant cost about $1.50.

It's kind of odd the way the devaluation of the dollar affects the economy. It drives up the prices of gas and food products massively but does nothing to the price of electronics or most consumer goods. The Wii, or say an iPod or an Apple notebook, has a fixed price point so doesn't respond at all to the fickle dollar. Thus for outside observers/puchasers the price shifts massively as they can get more dollars for their currency, to the point where the cost of a Wii is nearly twice as much in the UK as the US. Which is of course the very reason region locking exists - so people can't take too much advantage of out of market price differences.

But now I'm just pontificating aloud.
