Welcome to Gaia! ::

What do you think? Is the price fair?

The Basic set will have 8GB of memory and includes the console, a GamePad, an HDMI cable, a Wii U sensor bar and an AC adapter. The basic set will be $299.99 in the United States.






The Deluxe set will have 32GB of internal memory and includes everything in the Basic configuration, plus a GamePad charging cradle, a stand for the GamePad and a stand for the console itself, plus a copy of Nintendo Land. The Deluxe set will also enroll purchasers in the Deluxe Digital Promotion, which offers points for every digital download you purchase. Those points can then be redeemed for future digital content from the eShop. The Deluxe set will be $349.99 in the United States.

The price....man that's high!!! I understand that the wii pad would be expensive to make, which may explain why the price is $250-$300. But I still think it's a bit overpriced. Maybe $200-$250 would be better, but that's my opinion. I'll still get it, but I hope Nintendo doesn't pull the same mess they did when they priced the 3DS.
Also some of the things that the deluxe version has, such as the console stand and particularly the points for digital download, you would think the basic would have by default. But that's not the case. I wonder why?

i'd say fair, i'm not the one who shlud be talking about money but for what it offers, it seems good enough
