We are still getting ripped off though. Wii for $400 compared to the US at $250. The exchange rate is at about 92 cents to one american dollar. Therefore we should be paying about $275. Also we are paying $100 for games. RIPPED OFF
Well it's only the Core, I spent the extra $100-150 on the Pro bundle(came with Viva Pinata and Forza 2) back in November and would happily spend that amount over the much cheaper core console that isn`t bundled with any games. However it's quite shocking that the Wii is still so high, I purchased mine on launch day for $399 and that was well over a year ago now. Such High demand though does allow Nintendo to keep the Wii at the same price and with no end in sight to that demand, they are certainly making a tidy profit.

Target has the Core console at $AU339 as opposed to the cheapest available Wii consoles at $AU388. Also, for $538, Big W has the Pro bundled with Assassin's Creed and PGR4. That is much cheaper than a week ago. It would appear that (probably due to exchange rates) the Xbox 360 has received a price cut in Australia. The 40gb PS3 can be found cheapest for $AU640 or so, or bundled with a game and second Sixaxis for $AU740.
If your reading Shams, I hope you waited a week or so to get your Xbox 360, because right now might be the best time. |
I was actually about to post this, and suggest that the rumoured price cut has already hit :)
But - I suspect you are right, and that its exchange rate related. One side effect of being a "primarily" US developed console.
I have waited - and I think I will be waiting a little more. Actually entered a form of "crunch time" at my work contract, which ends around Easter - which is roughly when the 360 price cut (should) hits.
But $330 is definitely getting into a price range I love - if they can couple with a 50 Euro cut - its getting down to $249AU - which is almost ridiculous (the PS2 still costs about $200).
To top it off - if they release a $299AU "GTA pack" (Arcade bundle + GTA) - I'll be there instantly (ignoring that I'm not a real big GTA fan). But I think a GTA pack for $399 is more realistic.
...
BTW - the same catalog has the PS3 for almost $800 (2 controllers + 1 game).

@all - the Wii isn't even ADVERTISED here anymore (I haven't seen a ad for ages).
When there is no supply, its pointless to advertise (or price cut) when the demand is still significant.
