Wait, is the price confirmed?

I was also hoping it could be 10-15 €, but given that this is an accessory it needs to have a sizable retailer margin... Maybe they simply couldn't sell it for those prices without losing money.

By the way these gyroscopes are pretty new technology (at this size).

Actually $19.99 are like 14 euros so i don't get your complain.

Not after you add taxes which $ prices don't include and € ones do...

It will probably cost 20 € in Europe, that's my point. And it was not a complaint.

$9.99 would be better but then so would $4.99.

I'll still get it at $19.99. It's not like it's mandatory in any game except WSR and that comes with one packed in.

If Tiger Woods or Grand Slam comes with one packed in for an extra $10 that would be great too.

I thought the same..... until I found this:

After all the Wii motion plus is nothing but a gyroscope, but man. Anyway I'd prefer 14.99 but $20 is ok since I only have 2 wiimotes (and probably I'll get one with the EA tenis game)

Yes, the accelerometers were three axis, now this is a three axis gyroscope so in total there's six axis now :P

^ yes but unlike sonys sixaxis, the WM+ controllers shape actually complements a wider range of natural physical movement. Pity for Sony.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Like many, I will just pick a few up for free or 10 extra dollar with games that include it.

The obvious solution is to not buy WM+, then.
