I don't see why people are complaining about the price tag when people didn't complain about the PS3's price tag.

 

[BlueStar]

Bayonetta 2 Wii-U exclusive is quite a coup.

Are you kidding me? EVERYONE complained about the PS3 price tag! I'm pretty sure some people are still complaining about it!

Fuck yeah Getting the Deluxe model! Come on 11/18/12!

I see you don't remember the "$599 US Dollars!" meme.

No, I wasn't kidding, but some people are saying how it's too overpriced.

Definitely grabbing the ZombieU Premium Pack, not sure if thats Europe only though

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Guild's estimations are mostly likely correct. Although, I'll wait until NOA announces an official MSRP before making a final decision on whether or not this warrants a day one purchase.

Oh, it's actually one of my favorite memes.

I should also point out that there are people bitching about the storage. I thought that's what USB devices/USB HDDs were for.

How Nintendo got Bayonetta 2 exclusive is beyond me, but count me in!

This thread is severely lacking in [member='soulx'] and [member='Valwin'].

Fuck yeah Getting the Deluxe model! Come on 11/18/12!

Launch Date:
December 8th 2012.

It's reasonable to assume we will receive it with a bit of delay compared to Japan. Hopefully it won't be much later. That's the first line of the OP too, I guess you missed it.

Edit: Just read it actually is November 18th for the United States. Either we're receiving it before Japan or December 8th isn't the correct date for Japan? Either way, it is a surprise to me. Sorry, Unknown.

I'll pick one up if it's $299, perhaps I'll wait a bit to see how the communities are going with modding it though.

I love how Americans get to guess the USD price and can round down, while us Europeans have to round up, it'll probably be £230 (8GB) and £280 (32GB) here.

Which equates to $370 (8GB) and $451 (32GB).

Nope Amazon is asking for £199 basic SKU.

I might pre-order at that price.

 

[the_randomizer]

Nope, the prices are NOT that high

Basic $299
Deluxe $349

Got a link? I'm on the site now and it's got no price.

No way it'll be that, that's only £40 more than a 3DS XL.

I don't think this was worthy of its own thread, but I might as well post it here.

For those of you who were wondering, yes, Call of Duty Black Ops II is going to be on the Wii U.
