I figured it was going to be $350-400 here and probably closer to $400. I was right. At least it's got free games.
Keep in mind I guess that during the first few weeks of release retailers will be competing with each other & that will probably get launch prices down to $375 or so. Still, it's about $50 more than I was expecting and will probably mean one less launch game me, good thing xmas is coming up so soon after!

Yeah that's a good point. But the games are still over priced, they should be $79.2 including GST, not $100.

The problem isn't that it's weaker, but that it's undervalued. Although in the case of the Wii hardware it's actually fairly priced, the games are still AUD $20 more than what the conversion works out to.

Target and Kmart ARE non-gaming specialists...
Just pre ordered my Wii At Toys R Us. $50 down and another free game of my choice, pretty good deal i think. They had these bar coded tickets outside the stroe where the wii promo was and they only had three left so i dont know if they just replace them later or it may be limited
amoutn of pre orders.
amoutn of pre orders.
The Wii perorders are Toys R Us are limited. They had quite a few left t Toys R Us at Chadstone the other day when I preordered, so... Yeah.
But still, my question remains:
Will Toys R Us count the Wii Sports pack in as that free game, or let us have another free game of choice too? It would suck big balls if they say you're free game is Wii Sport.

I'm not a fan of single sentences that run from 3rd to 1st person perspective.
Are you directly quoting the guy as in, "You can come in and choose any game and we offer that independently from whatever Nintendo is offering."?
Because if so, that's fantastic news for my Toy R Us pre order I made in early August... Hmm maybe I'll make Excite Truck the third game to get with Zelda and Trauma Center.

Very nice.
I was going to wait for the Wii to drop a little in price but with the free game that makes it all worth while.
Wii + Zelda in December for me.
When do the toys r us free game offers expire?
I heard that JB-Hifi are offering the Wii for only $330 if you pre-order, and Toys R US are still honouring their free game with pre-order deal. Im going go early next week to confirm the JB deal (unless someone here would like to do this 
).
I already got almost $350 down on the Wii (including games) at EB. If EB wont price match either pre-order deal, then Im cancelling my pre-order and I will take my business elsewhere.
