Amazon Drops Price of Nintendo Wii in UK Wii Console UK Price Drops to £140

At the end of September we offered our US based readers a heads up
concerning the Nintendo Wii console s price being dropped to some $200
and now we can confirm that Amazon have just acted to cut the price of
the Nintendo Wii in the UK by pound sterling40 seeing the Wii now retail
at a new lower sub pound sterling140 price point.
For those of you who are UK based and are set on getting a Wii for, say,
the rapidly approaching Christmas season " as a present, perhaps " or
for those that have been holding out knowing that a price drop was on
the cards its great news, of course, but there may still be reason to
hold out.

Why? Well, simply put, the Amazon price drop applied to the original Wii
console bundle (consisting of the console, a Wii remote, a Nunchuk and a
copy of the original Wii Sports software title) and not to the newer Wii
bundle that adds the new version of Wii Sports, namely Wii Sports
Resort, as well as the MotionPlus controller add-on into the equation
which is selling currently at just shy of pound sterling180 and which,
we d argue, is a somewhat better proposition all things considered.

Of course, if Wii Sports Resort and the finer degree of motion sensing
offered by the MotionPlus controller add-on doesn t interest you you ll
doubtless fine the original bundle more than suited to your requirements
but, with more titles set to release that utilise MotionPlus you ll
probably find yourself forking out for it at a later date anyhow. That
said, its your call, obviously.
