Yeah, it's almost at full price in europe too €40 (€10 less than Strikers) or £40 (same as Strikers). I chose Strikers because it seems to be the cheapest non-budget Wii game.
I ended up buying Strikers "in protest" because of that. Now I'm disappointed at Strikers and online. Oh well....
@omgwtfbbq, it is possible that a Wii Freeloader is not too distant, I'd wait for that.
