Nintendo hikes up the price of the Wii to £20 more
The credit crunch is biting hard, and it seems that it’s chomping on Nintendo particularly hard – the company is being forced to raise the price of its multi-bazillion selling Wii console. Nintendo says:
“Due to the severe and continuing depreciation of the pound, we are, unfortunately, having to raise our trade price to UK retailers of Wii hardware. The price that they then offer to consumers is, of course, up to the retailers.”
Those retailers are invariably feeling the pinch just as hard, so I suspect it’ll go straight through to the price on the ticket. The Wii currently retails for £180, and this change will add £18-£20 onto that figure. Depressing, in more ways than one.

URGENT BARGAIN NEWS: Get a Nintendo DS Lite for £75 today if you ACT NOW
In a clever piece of pre-Christmas sales marketing, online tech-flogger Buyitplayit is knocking out Nintendo’s DS for only £75 – £24.99 less than your standard devastated wasteland high street retail price.
There are two catches – it’s only selling the frankly hideous turquoise and pink versions of the DS Lite so it’s only of use as a Christmas gift to any children you know under the age of eight or ironic media employees, plus the site is only selling 50 at the lower price…
Xbox 360 beats Wii! (in teenager's Christmas present 2008 wish-list survey)
A poll conducted by impenetrable-if-you’re-over-20 online cyber-fortress Habbo has found that games consoles are this year’s hottest-to-have Christmas present, beating mobiles, MP3 players and even wooden train sets, with 39% of the 4,500 kids polled demanding a games machine or a PC off mum and dad.
Incredibly, Microsoft’s machine beat Nintendo’s fashionable Wii for once, with 20% of the game-wanting Habbo youths asking for an Xbox 360 – and only 19% plumping for a Wii. Probably because most of them got one last year. As ever, Sony’s PS3 is LAST – 15% are asking for one of those off poor Santa…
DO NOT BUY A PLAYSTATION3 JUST YET – Sony's planning a price cut in March 2009
Here’s an amusing little faux pas to add to the 2.4MB, 124-page-long document I carry around with me at all times on a memory stick documenting all of Sony’s errors regarding PS3.
At a recent employee meet, the company apparently told its staff that PS3 would start to be “more competitive in price” from March of 2009, telling everyone the expensive Blu-ray console will be a little more affordable next Easter – and damaging sales from now until then, we’d imagine, as credit-crunched gamers beneath the fuel poverty line hold out for a price cut.
The report also revealed that Uncharted 2 would be shown to the world and that LittleBigPlanet would be announced for PSP, both in March ’09…

When rumours become FACTS – Xbox 360 only £129 from this Friday
And that is OFFICIAL. No more relying on dodgy scans and the assurances of 13-year-olds on internet forums. Xbox 360 Arcade, the non-hard drive model of the console, will cost £129 from this Friday.
The 60GB hard drive one, which Microsoft refers to as the plain old “Xbox 360” is also coming down in price, to £169, with the all-black Elite worrying PlayStation3’s arse by costing only £229. The war has just got DIRTY. Here’s what Microsoft’s chief European war commander, Neil Thompson, said…
