    Default Wii??

    Anyone know where the Wii's are on sale??? Love to get one of those... even though I'm totally against consoles (std ones)... love the idea of the physical interaction... can picture my kids junping around the lounge swinging the remote ... hopefully not trying out for a spot on //www.wiidamage.com/

    I was also surprised at the price on amazon.co.uk:

    It seems we are paying again for being part of the EU (priced to milk them dry) zone.

    Currently the Wii on take2.co.za and other SA sites are imports. Thus the high price. Expect the Wii to be out officialy in SA after March (PS3 launch) at a better price.

    Yeah, unfortunately there's currently no "official" way to get a Wii in ZA. Quite a few peeps have imported them via friends, family or ebay, so that's an option.

    What I find funny is that the WII is sposed to be the "cheap" console

    In the "developed" nations yeah, but alas in our sunny SA most new tech isnt always wallet friendly.

    I suppose patience is key, when the Gamecube came out i bought it at Game for a whooping R2499 only to see it come down to R999 8 months later. Ouch.

    Well if the Wii comes out and the price drops I think I might pick one up for the kid. ATM she tries to play doom and gears on the XBOX, but her hands are still too small for the controller.
