    I find it strange that they are still trying to retail this for £160. If you shop around, you can get an XBOX 360 for less than £150, and it's a MUCH better machine. The Wii is just so........Gimmicky?
    Technically and graphically the xbox is a better machine - Yes
    However if you but the arcade version your missing out on a hard drive you buy seperately so not as good a price.
    What gets me is the Wii black is touted as a Limited Edition..Rubbish..it will be main stream before long. What ever happened to 1 of 250,5000 limited edition runs of things, then you knew they were limited. If 500,000 of one product is limited then most music single would be too ;)

    The real interesting thing is that last xmas, the Wii was retailing at £180, and you could shop around for offers down to say £160 (reputable outlets)

    Now the Wii is selling for around £150, and comes with the Sports Resort bundle (incl Motion Plus) worth £30 - 40.

    Now that is a real price reduction.

    And yes, if you compare to the Xbox and PS3 it is less powerful etc, but it is more of a family entertaiment device, rather than hard-core gaming.
