Price cut confirmed? Any ideas on what kind of cut the UK could see? (not that I plan on buying another Wii, it'll just be interesting to see)

Yeah, it's definitely happening.

Four separate places 'having their own specials' starting on pretty much the same day?

Sad. You know what there is written ?

Yes only 5.000 and the last phrase is really comical:

"now you have no excuses to not buy one for your girlfriend or your sons " ahahah ..bah.

5000 limit, that implies stock clearance, right? And stock clearance implies a new SKU, rather than an official price cut.

Clearly, this is worse than I thought. Wii HD.

i need to buy a new wii, any informed guesses on what kinda new price the wii will see in the UK?

Patcher redeemed????

Seems like a 20% cut all round.

Assuming £180 is the RRP (I still haven't seen anyone selling Wii with a £200 RRP).

Then ~£144.

Amazon has been discounting upto £15 on the Wii, play.co.uk currently has Wii with Mario Kart for £180. I think we could see similar deals at £150-£160 after the price cut. This is all assuming Nintendo is happy with the exchange rate and we actually get a cut.

US would be paying around £120, UK £144 and EU £180. This is why I think the UK might not get a cut, instead europe might get a cut that puts it in line with current UK prices.

Pachter is a visionary!

No, NO! I won't let it happen. Pachter may be right on the price cut but he won't nail this.
