It originally meant pesos, and I see it used for that all the time here. Theres nothing quite like seeing a my grandma spend $27.00 for bouillon.


Wii priced at $250... I was hoping for $200. But I suppose seeing all their competitors priced so high they may as well milk the extra $50.

well, if the wii is $250 in us, we get them for 250 euro :'( it's so unfair. You get a free game though.

uhmmm.... They confirmed already on a press-event... no need to hack sites :P

@Madskillz: They never said it would be $200... some guys thought it would be, but till now, nothing was said over the price, except it would be less than $250... :)

Hmm... i hope its before 2007 as well. I was hoping that the price might be around $200, oh well.

You can check out some new game footage here: http://movie.nintendo.co.jp/data/wii_pr ... lineup.swf

Also check some interface videos out here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/wi ... index.html

You will have to go through the pages looking at the various slides to see if they are videos.

Could complain over the euro conversion though, 249.99 euro is not < 250 dollars. : <

Yea I saw those video tr1p posted earlier, the photo editing thing looked neat. but $250 seems like a stiff price tag considering what the others are offering and what we aren't getting. I understood why the GCN didn't have dvd playback, it was still new and not cheap, but now it seems like entire design of the wii would make it well suited for dvds, yet no.

kinda disappointed.
