I was just wondering about what time we are looking at for the release of the console? I hope they release it as soon as late this year, just after I finish my final high school exams.

the whole article is good, but that page has the release and pricing speculation

Yes, I am awaiting a confirmation date and price. Never before have I felt so much heat and anticipation for a new gaming system. And I will assuredly have a Wii when it comes out, no mater what. Nintendo has impressed me more than I could have imagined.

I have been doing a little research and I have learned that the price will be around $249 which is not bad at all for the system.

How about the day after Thanks Giving. Its only the busiest shopping day in the US. People will pack the stores to the brim. This will cause mayhem. This should be the first item on your list cause if you go latter in the day there will be none left.

Imagine the last Wii on the self and two parents arguing taking out their frustration of the day, trying to get the last Wii. The would make for some great entertainment.

Although they don't have an official date for the release of the Wii itself, they've penciled in November 17th for Crystal Chronicals and Dragon Quest!

I don't think so, the wii will have 20 games launching and neither of them are ff or dq... Nintendo is aiming half of the lauch titles non-sequals, things like wiiorcrastra and wii sports.

No final date is out yet, but a "Nintendo insider" said over Cubed3 that they are shooting for a November 6th date.

I just read an article that states a possible release date and pricing. The article says that the Wii will launch on Oct. 2nd at $149 USD. Not sure of the Euro dollar amount? To read this article click here

That would be sweet.

Anyway, if it's released in October in the US, when would it be released in Australia?
