Finally.
Nintendo UK boss David Yarnton has told GamesIndustry.biz that reports the Wii will retail for GBP 149 and will be in shops shortly before November 24 are "definitely not right".
The claims, which appeared in an article by trade publication MCV, are "only speculation, and definitely not fact," according to Yarnton.
"They're not far off, but they're definitely not right," he told GI.biz.
As previously announced, Nintendo is holding a Wii press event in London next Friday, where it is set to reveal the official price point and launch date for the console.
"We will be announcing more details then," Yarnton confirmed.
F#A#Oo said:Ahhh a good rule of thumb with UK prices compared to US prices is to take the UK price and subtract between 28%-30%.
149-28%=107.28
£107.28 converted into US$ is $199.56USD
So chill out guys...Nintendo is pricing it in NA at $199...
The thing that sucks though is that if it's true that it is £149 in the UK but $200 in the US...the UK is being pinched for £20...it should really be £129 like the GCN was priced. But the price would still be fine with me...I don't know anyone that would argue over £20...
Btw today I actually saw some chavs in GAME considering buying a DS-Lite...:lol It was truly mind-boggling for me...:lol I've always been under the opinion chavs are Sony drones.
I said wow. Hopefully they get a copy of Brain Training along with it.F#A#Oo said:Btw today I actually saw some chavs in GAME considering buying a DS-Lite...:lol It was truly mind-boggling for me...:lol I've always been under the opinion chavs are Sony drones.

BigGreenMat said:When you are you guys gonna learn that your price is up because of your government tariffs. I am not sure what the rate is, but it is much higher than the US. Plus the US prices are always before taxes so most people will be paying between $210 and $220 for their consoles. Not $200. It is a tough concept I know. So in actuality you might be paying less for your console.
I would laugh so hard if Reggie busted out the "We think it's in our best interests to keep that information to ourselves just a little bit longer" line again. Holy shit that would be amazing, GAF would go past exploding and just disintegrate.TheGreatDave said:I'm gonna miss Wii launch speculation threads. Hopefully Nintendo keep some info close to them.

Blad/blud/blood, blad being the london pronounciation of the word, is not a ''chav'' word. It actually comes from jamaica and comes from the meaning of brother, of part of ones blood line, saying that someone is close to them. The word has just been taken on by the inner city ''youts'' as part of everyday language.
''wat u sayin blad''
''blaaaad this boy gettin me vex''
