I think it will cost between $300-$400. I also think that $320 would be a good price for it. Don't forget that the PS3 costs $250 right now.

Anymore than 300 and it will be DoA. I hope Nintendo learned its lesson like they say they with the 3ds launch. That said I will pay up to 400 if it's got extras with it

Dont you think that the price is too high for tech that is about 5 year old.

Its been comfirmed that there are 2 versions. The basic 8GB storage one is $300 and the premium 32GB storage one is $350. The price I said that would be a good price for the Wii U was $320 and it was right in between the 2 versions. I also said it will cost between $300-$400 before the reveal.

It's not a bad price, but 8gb and 32gb is ridiculous.

That memory really means nothing but just a onboard starting point. Nintendo said they didn't want to include large harddrives with the wiiu like other gaming companys because they want to give the consumer the option to use their own. Its MUCH cheaper to just add your own SD or external harddrive than buy a nintendo branded one(like MS makes you) I like the idea myself. I can get a 1TB harddrive for like 60 bucks.

I would have to agree with this.

Though I am curious to see if the currency exchange rate actually has them selling less over here in the U.S.

Cheaper for who? I'm not trying to bash them, I'm probably going to buy one. But you can get a 360/PS3 with 200+GB for the same price.

The point is ms 320gb hard drive is 120 bucks. You can buy a 1tb drive for 69 bucks plus prices will go down.

Okay but my point is, you can buy a ps3 for the same price with 320gb already in it.. Why should I have to pay extra for space to play games.

The point is ms 330gb hard drive is 120 bucks. You can buy a 1tb drive for 69 bucks plus prices will go down. AutoPilotOn

As well as that 1tb will be faster (unless you buy a crappy one) than the ones MS uses for their 360s.

You can put a laptop hdd in a ps3, so that kinda is a separate arguement. You can get mass/fast storage for cheap there too.

The 360's proprietary hdd, is a different story.
