Finally, at long last, anyone eagerly awaiting information regarding the release of Nintendo’s next-generation gaming console need not to wait any longer; we now know the launch price and release date for the Wii. Coming at you on November 19th, two days after Sony’s PlayStation 3 launch, the diminuitive console will cost a bit more than expected; a Wii will run you around $250 USD. Of course, that’s not counting tax, additional Wii-motes, or games, but that Nintendo is going to try and give you a break on that last one. Find out more after the jump.
The Wii will come with a pack-in game, Wii Sports, meaning that you’ll be able to enjoy your Wii console if you can’t spring for an additional game at purchase time. Should you decide that you want some more games, they won’t run you more that $50 a shot; basically what users pay for PS2 games now. So if you’re looking forward to Nintendo’s new, if odd, machine, your wait is almost over, and now at least you know when to expect your new toy. Several online outlets are taking pre-orders; get yours in as soon as possible if this is the path you’ve chosen.

I’m definitely getting a revolution, but I wouldn’t touch the PS3 with Hillary Clinton’s dick.

Same here; I’m definitely getting a Wii, but the PS3 will have to prove itself to me before I’ll shell out $600 for one.
