UK to pay about the same for Wii as US, Japan

Posted in Gaming by T Evans on the May 26th, 2006



Well it’s been a bad old few weeks for Sony – first they announced their $600 price tag for the PS3 stateside, they then ruffled a few european feathers by announcing they would have to pay 499/599euros and then they positively took a dump on us here in the UK and told us we would have to pay £425 ($800!!). Not surprisingly UK PS3 fans have not been overly thrilled with the news. And now sony’s good chums microsoft and nintendo have decided to rub some salt into the wounds. First Microsoft releases major updates to it’s XBOX (see bellow) making it look darn good value for money when compared to the PS3, and now nintendo have announced that not only will their console be a mere $250 but they are not going to be charging us extra over here in good ol’ blightey – meaning we at Widgx will be bringing home a shiney new Wii for £150 as soon as they are released!
