Wii's wow factor

Microsoft was first off the mark with a next generation console, the Xbox 360,
and this week Sony has announced Australian gamers wont't see the Playstation 3
until March next year, despite November 17 launches of the hotly anticipated
console in japan and the US. That leave Nintendo with its oddly-named Wii.
But while the name may be uncool, the unit is anything but. We had an
exclusive pay with a prototype of Nintebdo's next-generation offering and
came away seriously impressed.

Price: < $330 AUD (I think they just converted <$250USD so maybe wrong)
Date: Before Christmas

<long article follows - nothing negative, all factual>

It really is fabulous and fun and means gaming is no longer sedentary.
In fact, expect to work up a sweat in some games. There will be no more
claims that computer games make you fat and lazy.
Nintendo says it will cost no more than $330 AUD, making it by far the cheapest
of the next genertion consoles.

Thanks for the info, a price of $330 would be sweet. There are just too many launch titles that I want to get and a $400+ launch price would be restrictive. I almost wish it was like 64 launch day where there was like only 3 launch titles at least I had time to play them all.
