Meh, here in Mexico it'll probably sell around the same price as the Xbox 360.

alot cheaper than its competition :Dso much so that people are planning to get a Wii60 (Wii + Xbox360 combo) rather than a PS3 because you end up getting 2 systems for the price of one that way.
yay business strategy! :rolleyes:

Approximately.

It would seem that the Americans are getting a better deal. Again with the pound sterling, its £180 according to that price list but the current exchange rate (according to wikipedia) is almost £1 = $1.9.
But, I don't think the exchange rate quite corresponds to the value of money/goods inside the country.

I'm supposed to, but my keyboard configuration is screwed up, and I don't know how to change it.

There's no need for a translation.
Keep going through the pages, the videos first appear on the bottom of page 5 (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/wii_preview/presentation/05.html).
Kinda nice to see that someone else didn't get that at first.
And the fact that the goofy avatar people are used in WarioWare amuses me so.
Also, I can't remember which page, but I think that I saw it read WiiPoints somewhere. They're undoubtedly used to get the WiiHigh scores.

I don't care what Wikipedia says about Canada's MSRP, it's false. There is no place in my entire city selling it for anything outside of $280.

The dollar is worth a lot less than the pound at the moment, but on the other hand the cost of living is stupidly low in America (This is why I always get irritated when Americans complain about petrol prices. We're paying the equivalent $6 or$7 a US gallon over here).
On the plus side, this means I get stuff from deviantArt ridiculously cheap.
