when both the PS3 slim and 360 Elite retail for $299, their will only be a $50 between them and the Wii which currently retails for $249...so yeah the wii will definitely look over priced, considering that for 50 bucks more, you get better graphics, better online, and way more features out of the box than the wii, and in most people mind 50 bucks jump is nothing compared to the extras you'll be getting.

Nintendo better drop the price soon in order to stay competitive, and at least have a bigger price advantage, I say soon because both the Elite and PS3 Slim are rumoured to be hitting the $299 end of this month.

Also, I do seriously think the a majority of VC games are way over prices, Sonic the hedgehog should be 4 bucks Australian, not $8, I mean I can get PS1 games on my PS3 for 10 bucks, and they are bigger games, so charging 8 bucks for sega mega drive, and SNES is just a massive rip off.

You're a bit off the topic here dude!

We not discussing Wii console (which I'm sure we all agree is gonna be a little overpriced if said consoles retail for 299),

the topic is on Wii Play (Game and Remote Bundle)

My bad, miss read the tittle, either way I'm not totatly off, at least I kept with the overpriced theme of this thread XD

True...

Problem with the gaming industry is that everything is overpriced anyway!

Wow some people are cheap....

Europe, Australia, and New Zealand get butt raped with the prices...which is why I wait and swoop in when their are awesome prices, usually get the games I wanted, brand new, for like $60 bucks Australian, rather than pay $100 to $120 when the game gets released.

I think that $10 is a fair price. As a matter of fact, it's about exactly what I think that it's worth.

No, it comes with a Wiimote.

For $10 it was a steal for me. Shooting, Tanks, Air Hockey and the cow racing game were my favourites.

I actually really enjoyed the spot the mii game. That's very fun for those of us who have spent ages creating perfect mii doubles for all our friends.

I don't think its a terrible game.

Shooting gallery and tanks are worth $10 easy.
