I won't be getting a Wii U this christmas, but probably next christmas. The 32 gigabyte built-in hard-drive package is certainly worth the $50 more. Wink

Too bad there are no Euro prices yet. Hope it won't be too high. Glad with the date though. Gonna be a great holiday season.

I heard that the price will be determined by each individual retailer in Europe. |/

Yep. GAME and Amazon prices are already far apart from one another.

I'm glad I don't live in Europe then, because someone will price the WiiU at £599.99, €799.99. pale

I've never heard anything as ridiculous as retailers deciding the prices of merchandise. Mad

One local retailer has the premium Wii U listed at £419.
You will not see any business from me. Razz

That store should get in trouble for trying to sell the WiiU so far above it's suggested retail price! Twisted Evil
