$428.96.

Well, I guess I could hold off on Excite Truck and Red Steel.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

My Total: US $451.44

Wii with WiiSports = $249.99
Wii Remote = $39.99
Wii Nunchuk = $19.99
Retro Controller = $19.99
Metal Slug Anthology = $49.99
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess = $49.99

hehe... Of course the best system of all time would support my favorite games!(i.e. Metal Slug)... But im probably not going to get all that on the release date, maybe christmas. I've noticed that every single game for the Wii is $49.99.

oh and thanks for the cash calculator Luigison. =)

Some will supposedly be $39.99, but I haven't seen an official pricing list for all the games.  I've heard that most Xbox 360 and PS3 games will be $59.99, but again I haven't seen an official pricing list.

Edit:  In case anyone missed it on the previous page, the pricing calculator is at:  http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?type=story&storyid=2440

Nintendo Wii with Wii Sports-$249.99
Florida sales tax-6%

Total- $264.99

I'm assuming that the description is true that the set comes with one controller.

I'll wait until Brawl and Galaxy comes out. I'm not getting Twilight Princess. Not even for Gamecube.

1 nunchuck - 19.99
1 classic controller - 19.99

Jeez, when you put it all together like that, everything seems so expensive... but in retrospect, with that much money i could have nothing but a bare-bones PS3, or a 360 with a wireless adapter...

Hmmmm, let me join the crowd.

Wii Console w/ (1)Wiimote, (1)Nunchuck, and (1) copy of Wii Sports - 249.99
Extra Wiimote - $39.99
Extra Nunchuck - $19.99
Classic Controller - $19.99
2000 Wii Points - $20.00
California Sales Tax - 7.25%

My total: $376.00

Ouch! I felt that. But now lets deduct and see how much I personally have to pay.

Total:                   $376.00
Mom's paying for:        $249.99
So I pay:                $127.00

So that's all I need to raise to buy it. That seemed like a weight lifted.

And if I don't buy the 2000 Wii Points right away or the Classic Controller right away, that makes the total

Deduct:

Classic Controller:  -$19.99
2000 Wii Points:     -$20.00

My Total:             $87.01

I'm so glad to live in ol' tax free Delaware
My total is $319.98
For...
  • The main unit (249.99)
  • LoZ: Twilight Princess
  • 200 Virtual Console points
I also want to try to get Trauma Center: Second Opinion, which would bring my total up to $369.97, but I'll see how much money I get until then, and if my mother will be willing to loan me any...
