Australian Pricing comparisons with US pricing as follows:
Wii Console: AU $400 = US $315
Wii Remote: AU $70 = US $55
Wii Nunchuck: AU $30 = US $24
Wii Classic Controller: AU $30 = US $24
Wii Play with Remote: AU $80 = US $63
Wii Component Cable: AU $50 = US $39
Wii Games are looking to be AU $100 to $110 (US $79 to $87) on launch. There may be some cheaper titles though I haven't seen any games priced lower.
Compare this with the US pricing..
Wii Console: US $250 = AU $318
Wii Remote: US $40 = AU $51
Wii Nunchuck: US $20 = AU $25
Wii Classic Controller: US $20 = AU $25
Wii Play with Remote: Couldn't find a price yet
Wii Component Cable: US $30 = AU $38
Wii Games (First party): US $50 = AU $64
So my setup tomorrow night will cost me AU $640
If we had equivalent pricing that would be only AU $503
but, meh!
I'm going to get to play with my very own Wii tomorrow night / Thursday morning!!!
I'm sure I'll end up spending some dollars on Wii points too.
I should add that I am getting a free copy of NFS Carbon (
whoop de do!) with my Wii as I pre-ordered from Toy's 'R' Us. That one will go straight on eBay.
Oh yeah, Pricing came from IGN and my local EB Games store. Prices were rounded to nearest dollar and exchange rate was provided by xe.com
