Just got mail from most popular here in Poland online gaming shop. They just set Wii preorder(launch in November) for 999 Zloty that calculates 254 Euro and 173 GBP.

Note that this shop almost always oveprices consoles a bit.
Sorry if it's old. How much are Wii preorders here in UK/your country?

My preferred gaming shop GameStation aren't taking pre-orders yet as the UK price and launch date haven't been announced yet. But here's hoping it's Ł180 or less, but I have a feeling it'll be Ł200 at least.

EDIT: Whoops! Really bad typo

Very sorry Razz!!

200 to 250, seems about right when you look at previous figurs.

Definitely sub-Ł200, if you ask me.

If It comes out for between 200 and 250 EUR Its very likely I'll get one on day 1. with Dragon Quest and Zelda.

I'm expecting (replace with: hoping) Ł200 max.

Nah Ł200 is just too much.

Games Ł35 an unreasonable ask?

I think so too. I' would even guess around the Ł130-150 mark. I don't think even Ł170 would be that bad if they put a half decent demo/tutorial disk into the mix, just so people can get use to the controller.

I think game prices will vary wildly though - not just the virtual console ones either. I think a number budget titles for Ł25 might be available (not from launch but 6-12 months down the line) and the AAA titles being Ł40. Nintendo mayl give a lot of freedom to the publshers for the price of games to win them over.

Nope. That would be me guess for most online retail prices, Ł40 in store. I don't think we'll be seeing Ł50 games on the Wii, and that Ł40 will probably come down well before its time is up.

My guess before christmas was Ł130 - GC launch price.

But now I've seen what the Wii can do, and more importantly, what's likely to be in the package, I can see that's clearly a silly price. Ł180 is snap-up money.

I wonder would they be stupid enough to price them at the same as the 360 and PS3 prices?
