the page says its 229 squiggly thingies...like i said, i dont know what the squiggly thingy is but its 229 something :P

i guess thats pound and you are talking euros and the conversion is 283...so still cheaper than you said but not by much

Could be the tariffs on importing the products being much higher than in the US.

Yeah, it makes me sad.  I noticed target.com has it up for preorder, I wonder if I'll have abtter chance of actually getting near launch ordering from their then from Bestbuy?

I will most likely buy one within the first six months and I will get the 32gb Wii U when I do get it.

I'm sure it will be a x-mas gift to myself... I want the deluxe edition

I will probably get it some months after the first Zelda for it is released.

Did I just said that I see portable devices often, but not portable consoles. You want sources? Here some random one:

Even Japan plays their handhelds at home :D Imagine what are the stats for other regions.

I had a couple TVs, not counting computer monitors as well. But I won't bother to rehook my Wii every time I use it, and I just can't take away it from living room - kids would protest :D I just may as wel buy a second  one, but this just not worth it.

Just pre-ordered it! Premium package, I will also get Zombi U, NSMBUand Pikmin 3 (if available) on release date. I might get black ops 2 as well.

I'll get one, if in stock with Rayman Legends, NSMBU and probably ZombieU.
If it's not in stock, I'll wait. It's not like there's nothing else to play around that time.

I'll get the 32gb version if ZombieU comes with it, otherwise I'll use my own flash card when the 8gb runs out. As long as the store uses a point system I won't be using it anyway.

I may have to wait until early next year to be able to buy it in my country, but there is a slim chance I might be able to go to the US in November so I will definitely pick it up there :D
