The Australian launch date was also revealed, in December 7 Wii will be sold for AU$399.95 ($301/238€/£160). Additional controler can be bought for a price of £29 (39 euros) for a remote, £14 (19 euros) for a nunchuck, and £14 (19 euros) for the classic controller.

This to me is a reasnable price for a console. I would really like to go out and check this console out in person too see how good it is. I mainnly look at ease of game play and good software titles and good to excellent graphics.

So far ps3 is on top of my list.

Mmm if your going for a PS3 save the 300-400 you might spend on a WII and use it for Sonys monster 0_o

I just bought a new 30g Ipod Video and it will be at least another 12 months before i buy something new in the hardware department. I have a ps2 that i dont use at all now. I really need to get it mooded and havent found a place to do it for me. So I just stick to my PC at the moment and the main thing i do is DVD Backups.

^^ well even in 3 years the PS3 will be 500 with acouple games and the needed acc's.

ah well pick what you want and go for it ^^

I just got a Xbox and 6 games for 120 ^^

plus I am still going thru DQ8 on the PS2 I am drowning in games at the moment..altho I a thinking of getting a keyboard/mouse adapter for the Xbox becuse one of the games I have is dimly thouhgt out and use's the right thumb to aim with ><,its a action RPG with some fps modes,Sudeki is the game I am getting so tired of devs not putting in control options....do they just forget that 20-40% of gamers are not right handed or disabled in someway ><

Or I can get buy the PC version of the game the game is not bad persay it just suffers from play control issues.

I know wjat u mean about the disability thing. I have mild CP. but i like playing consoles and coputers cause it works on my hand and eye coordination.

I am also left handed. Well nonne of these consoles have hit aussie yet well besides the Xbox 360. Ill wait for all of them to hit our shores and then compare.

I am not left handed I am a south paw(Nintendo 64) add learning disablities and I jsut cant fcking grasp how to use my right thumb to aim with it just is not happeneing.

I mean my god what are these idoits doing crippleing games left and right and not puting in options,nintendo dose it to now adays ....sigh

I am looking for a simple pad remapper that can remap a pad but so far the only way to do that is via emulation.....

Looks like a promising idea. I'll end up not saying I'll buy one, but buying one anyway!

Comment by: gogochar (Sep 19, 2006 11:53)

I may or not buy this. We'll just have to wait and see...

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Sep 19, 2006 11:57)

I jut found out they broke Zelda TWP into 2 games one for the GC and one for the WII,the GC one will run on the WII and only use a GC pad..thats rather annoying and pointless.....

it would have been cheaper for everyone to just add a bonus disc if the GC disc couldn't hold all the content but now its 2 whole fing games....

Comment by: sammorris (Sep 19, 2006 12:00)

So it's split into two parts - the first part for GC and the second part for Wii????

Nintendo is not that evil,so far I can only find out the main diffrance being WII for WII remote and GC for GC pad...that however is evil...
