UK prices of other machines for comparison: Xbox 360 250gb Slim: £164 PS3 160gb: £190 Wii w/ Mario and Sonic 2012 Olimpics and Motion+: £90 3DS: £130 (Has been as low as £100 recently)
Shame, three out of those four devices have been out for several years and thus pointless to compare its present price to that of new console.
I'm not comparing it for the sake of an either or comparison of what people might buy, but to give people an idea of what games systems cost in the UK. Remember when the Australian price of the 3DS was supposedly leaked and everyone was goin "Holy shit, it costs 500 USD" or whatever and people had to point out that games are generaly more expensive downunder?
Just thought I'd give an idea of if it would seem an expensive games machine in the UK or not.
