Just because american reviewers are too stupid to realise that every FPS doesnt have to work like Halo or GoW, doesnt mean Europeans can't appreciate this FPS for what it is.

meppi said:I find it a bit strange that everyone simply accepts that the component cables have been pushed back based on a report from 1 retailer, or was there some official word from Nintendo?
Especially since 2 large retail chains in the Benelux and 1 in the UK still have them dated 08.12.2006.

Mama Smurf said:Hey guys, I just thought I'd depress all of us non-importers. Thanks to an incredibly weak US dollar, I reckon we're being screwed more than ever before (though it's great for the importers). Here's some figures, all converted to dollars based on the currency converter at www.xe.com :
Wii console:
US $250
UK $350
EU $330
Wiimote:
US $40
UK $58
EU $53
Nunchuck:
US $20
UK $29
EU $26
Classic controller:
US $20
UK $29
EU $26
Taker666 said:Depends on whether you by online or at a highstreet retailer.
According to the official UK retail price a wiimote,nunchuk,classic controller combo would cost $116 (£60)in the UK, I pre-ordered them from a well known UK retailer for $86 (£44). When you take the tax off theat actually makes it cheaper in the UK than the US.
Thank you!Infernal Monkey said:This been posted yet?
Wii Sports DVD case for PAL regions confiiiirmed.
Well, Turkey isn't exactly in Europe either.tahrikmili said:There's absolutely 0 (zero) interest for this console in Turkey. This is mainly PC land and reaction to its graphics at demo kiosks seemed to be along the lines of "OMGWTFLOL!" and "WTFITSHAHA!"
:lolPlus, it sells for 400 Euros. Way to go Nintendo.
meppi said:Well, Turkey isn't exactly in Europe either.
Problem is that there is no 'EU price'. It varies from country to country. In france and netherlands Wii are pretty cheap. But take Norway where prices run as high as:Mama Smurf said:Here's some figures, all converted to dollars

Mama Smurf said:Well Norway don't use the Euro, do they? Nor are they in the EU as far as I know.
Oh and I'm not surprised at the Norwegian price, isn't it the most expensive country in the world? Sucks even more, hopefully you guys can easily import it from another European country for cheaper.
i know argos has sold out of pre orders, and it looks like woolworths has too:radioheadrule83 said:Alright GAME have gone from telling me that I might be able to just walk in and buy one (if I get there when the store opens) to saying I almost certainly won't be able to.
Is the current thinking still Argos or Woolworths?
Massive demand for Wii in Europe
29.11.06
November 29 2006 A huge shipment of Nintendo's new system, Wii, has now arrived in Europe ahead of launch on December 8 and with an unprecedented number of pre-orders having been taken, it is likely that there will be exceptional demand for the system when it goes on sale in Europe.
Nintendo is doing their utmost to replenish stocks and ensure that as many people as possible who want to experience Wii, can do so in time for Christmas. But the message for shoppers is clear to play with Wii, or just to get your hands on one, you need to get moving!
"We're launching a great product and we knew that demand would be high. Nintendo's expansion of the gaming market is paying dividends and Wii really is the 'must have' item for Christmas. Obviously, we're doing everything we can to make sure that everyone who wants one, gets one."
- Laurent Fischer, Marketing Director, Nintendo of Europe
Nintendo is shipping an exceptionally large number of consoles - 4 million globally by the end of 2006 - the largest ever for a Nintendo console launch. Wii launched in the US on November 19 and sold over 600,000 consoles in just one week. Thats a rate of nearly one per second continuously since the launch date. The European and Japanese launches follow close behind Europe on December 8 and Japan on December 2.
The intuitive, motion sensitive control of Wii means that a much wider audience than traditional 'gamers' are interested in the console hence the surge in demand as Nintendo continues to broaden the video games market. Across Europe this year, Nintendo has reached an installed base of 7 million with the handheld, touch-screen Nintendo DS console success which Wii aims to replicate in the home.

I would say between 350 and 400: the Wii will be in shorter supply than in the US and Christmas is few weeks away.MMaRsu said:How much do you guys predict the Wii will go for on european Ebay?

mrklaw said:definitely no component at launch? What cable is in the pack? Don't fancy buying a SCART cable if I'm only going to use it for a little while.
Are component cables available from the US or Japan at all? might be here by next week?
