below 320$ - why us? What did we ever do to anybody? Why this fuckin price is 100$ higher?

F U C K

DS Lite is almost 200$ here too... MS made their prices comparable across all countries so why Nintendo can' t?

Gamespot are fucking retards. They' ve tried to work out the Euro price by going off exchange rates and EVERYBODY (but them seemingly) knows that Euro prices almosts always mirror Dollar prices, ...ergo a $250 US price should translate to a 250 Euro price.

I expect it to be £199 (maybe £179.99) in the UK which will be the most expensive so even if it is most in the rest of Europe than it is in the US i have NO sympathy.


DS Lite is almost 200$ here too...


Maybe in Poland, but Poland isn' t all of Europe. DS Lite costs about $129.00 in the US and 139.00 Euro' s in France. Why Poland would be so expensive i don' t know. I didn' t know 360 had been released there yet.

Sweden which has the most expensive price has 480$

What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

When I bought my DS I just crossed the street, walked into my local game store, payed $129 plus like $7.00 in taxes and walked out.

LOL @ you cavemen in uncivilized countries. You deserve getting raped on prices you dirtbags.

it' s not gamespot - it' s what Nintendo of Germany said asket at GC

.It' s to be lower than 250 Euro.

DS Lite is 100 Pounds in UK - or 150 Euro - so I don' t know what you' re talking about. (at least that' s the official pricing)

The problem with Wii , is that it' s no longer that much affordable and mainstream at 250euro price.It may be cheaper than 360 and PS3 but the price difference isn' t mirrored by hardware value - especially if you know that Japan and US could have it for 170$...
