Okay Im sorry for doubting you. I've done some research and the Nunchuks and wiimotes cost $155 each and the consoles cost $1034. THAT"S CRAZY!!! You should move here to the US, man. Obviously Nintendo must've been drunk when putting prices of Wiis in Kuwait.

OHHH well that's about the pay of an average job here too, so you do have it bad over there. I feel bad for you. If I were you, I would have bought my Wii for the US price of only $250 through the internet.. ;)

Basically, if you don't live in the US, you're bound to overpay for games. It's not too bad in Canada, where we get games for 60 Wii, 70 or 80 anything else. But, I also live in the reigon of Canada with the highest

Are the taxes there high? That would make sense, it takes more money to import them, it takes more money to buy them.

Thank you the $Canadian. We are now going to have similar as in USA. The problem is the taxes. Damn you TVQ and GST (TPS in French).

Dude what the hell? You are either lying or got ripped off badly. I live in Saudi Arabia (Direct neighbor to Kuwait), and we have very similar prices. Here are the estimates (The prices are from 2 days ago from one of the cheapest stores):

Wii: $460

Xbox 360: $460/$540 (premium/elite)

PS3: $510 (60GB)

Notice of course that we don't have taxes.. so the price over there is the final one. Microsoft and Sony are working very well on the region thats why we got reasonable prices for them, not like Nintindo. Wii is out of the question even with Mario coming out, unless the prices go back to normal or I go on a trip to some other country and find the normal price there.
