Holy fuck lol, how much do PS3's and Wii's cost in AU in comparison?

 

PSVITA = $348

3DS and 3DS XL = $229-$250

Nintendo Wii + Mario Kart = $178-$198

PS3 160GB Model = $348

NEW PS3 12GB + FIFA 2013 = $298

NEW PS3 500GB + BORDERLANDS 2 + FIFA 2013 = $398

Wii U = $348 basic, $428 premium

 

1 EUR = 1.2589 AUD

1 AUD = 1.0253 USD


Have you just used a currency calculator, it would be more helpful just to give the price in AUS dollars. Direct currency conversions aren't really valid because the value of currencies changes all the time. I remember when £1 got you $2.30 in Australia, now it gets you more like $1.50....

It gives the wrong impression charts like this, blame the currency not the retailer or manufacturer.

no I used actual sale prices from stores.

I added the currency converters at the bottom as a rough idea what the exchange rate is atm.



 

 

They should lower the price since Xbox 720 might be coming next year or next 2 year ~~



Damn i hope Microsoft cuts the price worldwide so they can get more sales this late into the gen.

80m seems likely to hit but i hope they do more.

So the 4gb 360 is 100 cheaper than the 12gb ps3.  And the 4gb plus Kinect or the 250gb 360 is the same price as the 12gb model?


Assuming the prices quoted from the xbox article are accurate, then you are correct.

£40 across the board price cut in the UK I reckon.

4GB would be £110 ish, 250gb would be £150 ish.

Would clean up this xmas.


how many pounds is a wii?



 

 

double post deleted



 

 

hmm if Microsoft cuts price in UK I wonder if Nintendo will cut the Wii price to like 70-80, or leave it so people will consider buying a WiiU instead.

if 360 is cut to those prices i think it will kill in UK no matter what competition does.



 

 

I was expecting a $20 price increase.



tell me when we get a drop in the USA.
