If it comes with Wii Sports, wouldn't that mean 2 Wiimotes as well?

 

[cvxfreak]

Wii sports included for $250.

I'll live. That's how much I bought my iPod nano for.

 

[PantherLotus]

say it ain't so,
or that there's another huge secret.

 

[SuperPac]

Well they *have* been saying this whole time it would be 250 or less.

 

[helium121]

I'm more upset about the launch day than the price.

 

[Akia]

Looks like Zelda GCN for me this Nov.

Edit: Whoops! I didn't know Wii Sports was a pack-in. Wii + 2* Wiimotes + Wii Sports = $250 ain't that bad.

Spoiler

they better include a second controller

 

[loosus]

If that's the price I would hope they include 2 wiimotes.

For that price, they'd need to include 4, really.

But like I said, I just can't see that being true to begin with. $200 alone would be a lot. $250 would be borderline suicidal.

 

[Snaku]

NOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Easy_G]

The news about the "channels" seems very interesting. Another way for Nintendo to lure in the other family members. Maybe get them to then try out Wii Sports after hearing about the rainy weather, then BAM they'll be buying full priced games.

 

[Epicus.Furor]

and it includes....

 

[ant1532]

Comes with WiiSports? Its alright, not as good as suspected though..

 

[artful_dodger]

WHAT

 

[Vic]

Well, they said it wasn't going to be more than US$ 250.

ok, correction, 249$

 

[papercut]

It comes with Wii Sports. Shut up and suck it up.

 

[DDayton]

That's an article by a New York Times writer, it seems... but it still doesn't seem to quite add up.

It probably does, but it doesn't seem quite "right".

PRAISE ME

250 != 255

It's the closest without going over. You fail.

 

[Father_Brain]

I want to believe that this is wrong... but I don't.

 

[REV 09]

yeah

i think i'll wait. That's simply too high for the tech. 360 core will be that price in no time.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Wait, so is the reason for the extra $50 the included pack-in game?

Nintendo intends to announce today that every Wii will come with a game compilation called Wii Sports -- including tennis, golf, baseball and bowling -- meant to show off the machine's intuitive controls. (Most consoles, including Nintendo's GameCube, do not come with games included.)

 

[Vyer]

If true, we had been told to expect 250 or less.

250 with the Wii Sports compliation is fine with me. Nothing included would have pissed me off.

 

[The Hermit]

What if it comes with 2 remotes/nunchucks and a game?

Edit: it seems it´s pretty much the deal...sounds good to me!

 

[Duderz]

Wait, it comes with Wii Sports.

Okay, not so hard to swallow.

 

[temjin]

Me too. Doubtful but I'm hoping this translates to $349 AU.

Add an extra $100 - $150AUD onto that

 

[Tarjeta Prepagada]

Wow its over

$250?

launch AFTER Playstation 3?

They are done.

 

[medrew]

$250 with Wii Sports packed in, I'll take it. We really weren't expecting it to be any other price, right?
I wonder if there were more PS3s if it would have been priced cheaper?

 

[slaughterking]

19th of November is a sunday....

 

[FoneBone]

:lol to anybody who doesn't believe this

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

:lol @ backlash at something that was announced months ago (price ceiling of $250).

Don't believe it, but if true, still buying it.

 

[Game-Biz]

Damn, Nov. 19...?

 

[ant1532]

So now Wii is a media center? I thought thats what they didnt want?

 

[castle007]

sweet

 

[VultureDude]

$250?

I'll take it!

250 with Wii Sports*




*wait for the press conference**

**I'm making this up, but it'll be true, and you all know it

 

[SolidSnakex]

This is what happens when you're being unrealistic with price expectations. Like them actually releasing the Wii for the same price as the DS.

 

[duderon]

It's from the NY Times people and it's ****ing 50 dollars.

 

[StephaneC]

wii sport is just a demo :/ not a game ...

 

[PantherLotus]

If that's really a NY Times writer, it would appear here at some point:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/technology/index.html













Right?

 

[suaveric]

It must be 2 controllers along with the Wii sports. Some of us have been guessing that all day. I wonder how long it will be before they introduce a bare-bones system with no game for 200?

 

[thirty]

and i was thinking i wouldnt buy one until it hit $129. looks like i'll be waiting awhile. if this is true both nintendo and sony just handed MS this generation.

 

[kojacker]

2 Weeks too late.

And $20 too much.
(if 2 controllers. If not, then $50 too much in my eyes.)

So around £150 ish for us Ukers?

 

[Akai]

So $250 with a game included is too expensive, yet $600 isn't? Mmmmm, GAF logic...

 

[Meier]

That's cool that it will come with Wii Sports, but I'd rather it be $200 and let me choose to buy Wii Sports.

 

[Chiggs]

So now Wii is a media center? I thought thats what they didnt want?

Well, you see...when all you have is mostly non-games and golden oldies...

So $250 with a game included is too expensive, yet $600 isn't? Mmmmm, GAF logic...

Look at what you get with a PS3. If the Wii had a GPU that was equivalent to a Radeon 9800 Pro, I doubt there would be much bitching.

 

[Hayami]

what is the flying **** is preventing this launch from being pre-PS3.

 

[LegendofJoe]

You guys are so predicatable, is 50 dollars really that much of a deal breaker? I think most of you guys just like to bitch for the sake of doing it.

 

[masud]

That's alright I guess. It does come with a game. They should sell a version with Zelda though.

 

[Shard]

The anticipation grows ever more thick.

 

[Pellham]

Wow its over

$250?

launch AFTER Playstation 3?

They are done.

you're kidding right? you seriously expect millions of people to plunk down $600 on a video game console? Whether the Wii sells or not will have nothing to do with the PS3.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

u people are stupid you all know you will buy it...

Nov 19 is a sunday... I'm kinda sad that we did not get an october launch

GAF SAD

 

[mCACGj]

They probably just saw the projection and acted on it. It wouldnt surprise me, but I'll wait for some comfirmation.
