The Wii is $250.
And, apparently, t3h Internets are pissed

The New York Times announced the US Wii Pricing today(as well as the fact that it's launching on November 19th, two days after the PS3), and the story was confirmed by USA Today. Apparently, there are hundreds of people who were willing to buy it at $199 with two controllers and the kitchen sink, but $250 for one controller and a bundled game is a dealbreaker.

Well, atleast now we all know that the value dividing disappointment from acceptance is approximately $50.


I think that everyone's ignoring the real point here: it launches two days after Casino Royale is released! W00t!
