Seems goodish value to me. A 360 core with one game and card would set you back £80 or so more, so on level terms it is good value.
If the games are anything like as inventive as the DS ones, I know I'll be playing if far more than my 360...

Personally I think it's fair priced, given that this is new technology, looks absolutely stunning, they are offering their back catalogue at a competitive price, updates itself, has a nice selection of "Miidea" () connectivity, comes with Wii sports then all in all a great package.
And for those STILL complaining, consider this...
The price of the console PLUS Wiisports is £179.99.
The price of Wiisports is approx. £29.99.
so you've still got you're Wii at a cost of £150.00 which is exactly what the middle-road speculations were!
Despite the fact that the 'inclusion' of a game has only been annonced in the last few weeks, despite the fact that none of the other consoles have a free game in their launch package, and despite the fact that up until 2 weeks ago most of the 'moaners' on here were only grasping at a price for the console itself, then I think you've got what you want....
Don't you?
Nope
Why don't they sell the console for £149.99 on its own then?

Dec 8th is three days before my birthday. I wonder if the girlfriend could be persuaded into getting it for me?

Is it a good price? Lets assume most of the games are 39.99 that is the same as 360 games. Does that really reflect good value?
Most people won't want to admit it but both the USA price and UK price are higher than most anticipated.
In Usa they said something like "Wii will not cost more than $250", they undercut that by 1 cent!!
A full controller set costs more than a game. And games cost the same as 360 games.
I anticipated a slightly higher cost, purely due to the fact Nintendo don't sell anything at a loss.
For me all games should be 34.99 RRP 1st party games 29.99. Controllers should be cheaper.

I'm not really a Nintendo fan, but I have to admit that 179 pounds is a brilliant price for console+game if you're not too bothered about having the latest graphics etc.
Controller seems quite expensive and I guess most people will probably buy at least one more controller.

And i thought the point in a forum was to encourage debate not for everyone to love everyone and everything

debate is different to complaining about it. as for controller prices, can anybody tell me how much the 360 wireless pads were on console release?
ahhhh

Not quite true. Remember these are the RRPs, which for the 360 are £49.99 (if you are dumb enough to buy your games from the highstreet for example). So I suspect (though possibly not at first) we will be seeing a 5-10 pound difference between online and highstreet.

yeah, as far as graphics are concerned. hopefully the Wii will bring a bit of gameplay back into games. plus the ability to buy retro nintendo games is a nice added bonus.
i read somewhere yesterday that you don't even have a 360...if that's true, why are you even posting?

But 360 games arnt £39.99 they are £49.99, go in game and buy a new 360 title for £39.99 and i'd be impressed.
£39.99 is the online and supermarket price for 360 games not the RRP so chances are £39.99 wont be what gameplay etc charge for wii games either.

Bit of a moot point cos although it was claimed they where released, i dont think anyone could get one, much like a VGA cable etc etc lol
