according to google,
250 Euros = 321.17500 U.S. dollars

Hasn't Nintendo already said it will be under $250 US?

Indeedy - however, prices vary a lot between regions.

A good example IGN posted was that Xbox 360 Core System goes for 299

There's always taxes...That's why the PS3 is going to be $1300 here instead of being $1000Smilie.

Those Sony fanboys aren't going to be seeing any movies or going out for a while.

Tiamat... Ahmmm, are you in Australia? Incase you haven't noticed, the price is confirmed for the PS3 in Australia at $995 (or $5 less or $4 more depending where you shop)... If you're thinking it's going to be $1300 AUD then go back to that rock you have been living under. If you're in NZ, then I am sorry but Sony have never said that it would be $1000 NZD.

As for Pre-Orders of the Wii in Australia, stores like EB's and other game stores are accepting the amounts between $400 and $500 AUD. I even asked an EB lady about it not going over $250 USD and she said... "Well that's not what I have heard" and never gave any more information than that. I hope the price will be around $350 AUD but after what I have heard, I am really expecting it to be $400+ in Australia.

It's 'euro', not 'euros', Mr. Fakesh.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

That is quite sad to be honest. Yes there is a European directive to have the single words spoken across the European Union but it is mainly for business between different languages and formal matters. Saying euros and cents is perfectly acceptable in English as it is a colloquialism. It is also in the dictionary.

So that clever remark wasn't that clever really. Smilie

Woooooooo!!!

It better be under 250 euro's, seeing I only paid 220 euro's for my Gamecube!

Yeah, so did I. And it was the package with Metroid Prime 1 - and that was a good buy, since it is almost my dearest game. But heck, I can't defeat Ridley! *sigh* Anyone has any idea? PM me if you have one, please. I am not able to blow the last power-rocket into his mouth, it doesn't stay open long enough to do so...
