Sorry if you guys already knew this. Apparently the Japanese price of the Wii at 25,000Â¥ was revealed to Famitsu at a recent press conference.

The US/Euro/UK prices are still just speculation however. I dunno about you guys but I' d buy one for that money!

So was the price expected or what?
Anyway I don' t want to discuss it before I get the Swedish price with taxes and all that shit. I' ll probably pay twice as much as a japanese dude in the end. Maybe I should just learn japanese and buy everything in Japan. That way I' ll be able to play their great exclusive titles and the other titles before other territories. YOu think it' s worth studying japanese for that?

I would expect it to be region free actually. Maybe not for DVD playback though.

Guys wake up - it' s not the price - they said it will cost no more than 25 000 yen - so it' s not the price , it could be even cheaper than that.

There' s no price for US though , but again - it' s suppoused to be between 200 - 250

For Europe things could be crappy - why? cause the DS lite will cost 150 E or 100 Ł in here , compared to 129 USD in US, Japan and Australia.

129/150=250/x
0,86x=250 => x=290E - it could be 300E in Europe but that' s just my speculation :)


Our tax policy sux :(

Dont know,i bought my GC for 1800 kronor with a mario sunshine when it came here in sweden at el giganten.

Was a bundle i think.

My xbox360 costed 3700 kronor(premium).

I seen GC price for 500-1000 kronor here now.

WOuldn' t suprice me if we get at 1500 kronor in price.
That would end up in 5200 if i wnet wii+include my 360 price.,while 750 dollar=5600 kronor so still cheaper then ps3 price,and ofc before someone says,add tax to Nintenod wii price,i havnt done that for ps3 either so.

Nintendo wii+Xbox360 = ps3 price :P

Also people look at the price 25.000 yen.

Core package for Ps3 in japan is 58.000 yen,more then double.
And remember,xbox360 cost now 32.000 yen in Japan for premium(they only sell premium in japan).

lets do the math?

32.000+25.000 = 57.000 yen.

So basically xbox360 premium+nintendo wii for even lower price as Ps3 core.

If the japanese people doesnt go 360+wii they are just retarded.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I make no sense.


actually, it made enough sense, funny too.

That' s awesome news, although it still hasn' t been confirmed how many controllers will ship with the Wii, so it' s possible that the only extra price will be for tax & games. Here' s hoping.[:' (]

Personally, I' m glad to see that Nintendo' s making a comeback, I' d much rather see Nintendo on top of Sony anyday. Heh-Heh, on top... Sony... Heh-heh... Wii...

Hey what can you expect from a pre exam 15 year old?
