Lightbulb is wii cheap or not? What's your opinion

Some say that wii doesn't offer so much as it costs...

so do you think it should be cheaper? In my country wii's current price
(exchange to USD) is about : 270USD. And yours?

And yes the price could be alittle cheaper maybe 167 USD aka 199 AUD or even 210 USD aka 249 AUD but from what i see from the wii it is worth the price it is atm.

Thumbs up

Wii with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort sells here for 199.95 euro (almost
250 USD). This is a regular price, no doubt another (online) store sells it for
less ...
I think it well worth its price.

Damn, where I am (which is Jacksonville, FL), the Wii with Wii-Motion + accessory and Wii Sports Resort (and the original Wii Sports, of course) retails for 199.99 USD. I feel ripped off, because both my Wii's were bought when they were still 249.99 USD without the accessory or the extra game. I bought both seperately for 49.99 (game) and 19.99 (accessory). Wife always tells me to be more patient (which a non-gamer thinks is easy to do), but this seemed to be a case of her making sense

Same here. I have a launch Wii and had to buy all the extra stuff by itself. Oh well. It just means we have been enjoying the Wii for longer!

Yes..a real gamer cannot be patient all the time.

You can get White Wii' s with the old Wii sports for 180 Euro's (new ofcourse) here though the new packs are around 200 Euro' s. If looking to games in my reference its worth the buy, but when you look at hardware it isnt but that is not only with the Wii, even the 360 and PS 3 cost too much for its price. You dont realy buy the console mainly for hardware but more for your gaming preference which in my matter is Nintendo.

When I am at my other place in Mexico, the Wii is super spendy and the game selection is rather poor. Granted, I have never gone to a game specialty store, but at the general stores (Mega, Walmart, etc) the selection is poor and price is high.

Answering your question: it´s not cheap.

For me, should cost US$ 99.00 at maximum.
