?180 is a bit of a joke given that the 360 CORE only costs ?200. Nintendo Europe strike again

That depends on how you class a next generation system in terms of improvements.Originally posted by Hitcher
If it's horsepower then you'll be correct that it's a gc+. If you look at what they're offering in terms of new gameplay mechanics and all this crazy photo editing stuff etc... Out of the box then it's just as superior upgrade as the 360 or ps3.Comment

I honestly don't think NOE set the prices. HQ in Japan probably have the final say in these things.Originally posted by Team Andromeda
At any rate, when you account for VAT it is only ?20 more expensive than the US, pretty reasonable imo.Comment

for **** sakes surely this is quite a big thing to get wrong at a press conf, i think ill need to be getting NTSC then as no doubt theres other "mistakes" theyve made in the conferenceOriginally posted by KongsterComment

I know. But when has logic stopped a fanboy rant?Originally posted by Hitcher
Anyway, ?180 is about what I thought it would cost (I predicted ?175). I agree about the N64 pricing, but to be honest I can't see what the fuss about the virtual console games is. XBLA is great because of the leaderboards and/or multiplayer. Would Geometry Wars be so well loved if there weren?t a leaderboard with all your Friends on? I for one would have played it a lot less.
I?m getting a Wii at launch (probably a PAL one, because it will be cheaper to get hold of, and if games are region free then why import?), but I?m getting it for the Wii games ?not for old games that I could play on my old consoles.
EDIT So the "region free" talk at the US conference was a lie. I hope legions of teenages are right now making "humorous" youtube videos of the US conference taking the piss.Last edited by Soi; 15-09-2006, 16:24.Comment

They sound so proud about it. What a great way to ensure that I will definitely NOT buy from themSpeaking to GamesIndustry.biz in London this afternoon, a spokesperson admitted, "We are region-locked," and said the US arm of the company had made a mistake in saying otherwise.

What the ****?Originally posted by Kongster
Looks like I will have to get a US & JPN Wii's as planned. I still don't see the sense in region locking, Nintendo have probably sold more copies of Ouendan outside of Japan than in it.Comment
