I'm not listening to any rumors. I'm just gonna wait till Nintendo confirms everything, whenever that might be.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I know this is a rumour but really $300 and no hard drive and you just get one game and the console sounds awful in terms of value because you can get current gen consoles with a 250 gig hard drive and a game for the same price and that would just turn off consumers. But it is possibly that they can make $350 model with a game,console,and hard drive and a $249.99 model with just the console.

Really? Your going to compare apples to oranges dude? This is a brand new next Gen system. Last gen consoles with hard drives are 250 because its near the end of their lifespan. $300 is an amazing price point.

Well, maybe the three SKU:s are
1. Console/Gamepad;
2. Console/Gamepad/Wiimote+nunchuk/Nintendo Land;
3. Console/Gamepad/2xWiimote+nunchuk/Nintendo Land/one more game...

But it's just a rumor, of course.

I'd be surprised if they add a Wiimote in a bundle...I think Nintendo is counting on the millions of Wiimotes already out there. I could see a Pro Controller added in however.

If there indeed will be 3 bundles i'll buy the most expensive one for 349,99 if that bundle will also be avaliable in Europe cause i don't own nothing from Wii since my last console was SNES so more that will be in the better it'll be. :)

I'm also for the 250. I think this is a good idea if this is legit. Instead of forcing people to pay full price for a bundle when they just want the console.

I think this is the real deal. I'm prepared to say that this is the actual price, and release date.

this would be awesome if its legit. No source?

Ok, IGN seems to have speculation about the same thing. They're guessing that one of the bundles might include an extra game pad and that's why there's a hike in price. Also the release date November 11th is one week earlier than our previous speculated date November 18th. I honestly cannot wait for this system to be released.

im not saying the $300 for the Wii U is a bad value but i think for that price you should get a controller,console,and HDD that is at least 60-120 GB.
