Here is direct link to gamestop page.

Thats cheap, but unless I can use it for other games I won't buy it, although I doubt that Nintendo will just release this without any other possible use.

I don't believe it since gamestop has a tendency to guess prices.

i seriously doubt that WiiFit will be 50 dollars worth of game, prompting a 20 (reasonable price for the Board itself) for the board.

It should be At Least 60.

It won't be for just wiifit. They mentioned a snowboarding game, which would probably work pretty well, and something else...I have no links to give you, maybe you can look it up. I'm lazy. But yeah, they talked about the potential of it as well.

^^ Yeah that sounds reasonable but $70 is way to much for a game like that IMO.

Wasn't the snowboarding game part of wii fit itself? I'm sure that was what miyamoto said, but then again, it could have been a bad translation that I saw of it.

i think it'll be like WiiPLay. It'll be $40 for the peripheral and $10 for the additional game.

Hhhhhmmmm, although I don't believe this, a lot of sources tend to guess things like release dates and prices. But, if this is true, then despite the fact the pound to the dollar is like £1:$2, I can see this being around... £55!

But yeah, I'll believe when some real pricing is done it.

I would think that the Balance Board costs $40(though I dont think $50 is to bad for what you get from it) then the game would cost $30, and that seems rather reasonable for WiiFit.

Are you guys serious? $20 too much for a board that can measure your center of gravity? They are selling the fricken zapper (a hunk of plastic) for 20 bucks.

They want it to be afforadable and a lot of game developers have commented that they can see how it would enhance the wii games they are planning. So yeah Nintendo would want it cheap plus if you had bothered to read what has been said about Wiifit you would know it's not a series of minigames but a full fledged game with full game modes. If anything it is dirt cheap. It's one more tool like Nintendogs or Brain Age or Wiisports to get people to buy a wii.

Blu-ray is not a trojan horse that is going to make people want a PS3.

Nintendo generaly tries to make stuff cheap but a $20 peripheral (assuming a $50 game) just seems way to low. I'd say the board will cost at least $40, probably $50, on its own.
