That is so lame that they are including a game!

Just drop the price and let us buy what we want.

I have no interest, at all, in Wii Sports.

Gamecube controllers and memory cards are supported and I believe you can save your Wii games onto the GC cards. I'm looking forward to Mario Galaxy.

I belive Wii sports is being inlcuded as a learning tool. Wii sports teaches you how to use the new controller and all of its new features. Each game inside is really simple and focuses on a specific part of the new controls.

In that case it could be okay....but....if the controller is so non-intuitive that it requires a special learning software program I have a whole new set of issues!

I suppose its only to get you used to the sensitivity (is that a word?) of the movements you use in any game. But waht worries me is that it is so low in price compared to the other consoles:
PS3: £350 on release
XBOX 360: £290 on release
Wii: £180 on release

if you assume that it is value for money, then the Wii is assumed to not be very good

Still, it hasn't put me off getting one

Their low cost is there big selling point. They also will not have HD capable games.

And all of your prices are off. Each one is abbtween $50 and $100 more than you said they cost.

The prices Shadow put were the UK Prices - Xbox 360 was about £300 on release in this country, which equates to maybe $500 - $600 dollars. How much were they in the States?

Same with the Wii - £180 is probably about $350 - $400 dollars.

How does this compare with your shop prices?

Oh, did not see the pounds(?) sign. The Wii should be selling for about $250, the PS3 for $600 and the Xbox 360 for $500. (300 for the base system.)

So your prices are a little bit more expensive in the UK. (according to what you said the prices were.)

Thanks Chimpy, makes me happy again to be in the UK

.... or not, as the case may be!

Doesn't the 360 sell for 300 and 400 here in the US?

Not at Walmart. (Which is the cheapest place to get it.)
