That's what happens when game developers put more into graphics than gameplay. Or at least in my opinion... :-\

Heh, about 75% of mine are. The price isn't that great... But it's still cheaper than the 360 premium pack and what the PS3 is supposedly going to be.
 
Wii is less than 250 USD in USA.. sounds like it sucks for Euros.

Yeah, it must suck. i don't get the 300 Euro deal.  I mean, I understand *partly* how the conversions work for determining the pricing for systems... but this one goes contrary to that pricing.

Except they now have a better exchange than we do. They used to get the shaft and have many different currencies... the Deutschmark was only worth 60% of the dollar. now the Euro is worth a decent amount more. The pound.... man... that is going really strong. Around 1.8 GBP to 1 USD

Bv :hat

I know that Europe taxes people to death. Maybe that's where most of that cost comes from. Hopefully. :D

No man, they still get it.
 
Perhaps transportation costs are higher to get stuff from wherever Nintendo has their stuff made (Japan, China, Korea??) to Europe than from the formentioned countries to the US?

Dunno...just a theory.
 
i think everyone gets the shaft unless your rich as hell its just life you learn to adjust to left or the right so it doesnt hurt so much
 
Oh well, not like we have to buy a new system right when it comes out just because they want us to ::) Most of already have one of the 30+ other systems out there ;-)
