Games trade magazine MCV has got some interesting Wii details. According to them the console will launch in the UK sometime in the week beginning the 20th November priced around £149. Apparently stock will be "plentiful" too. Full details will be announced by Nintendo next Friday (15th Sept) but from people I've spoken too I'd say these dates and price seem about right. Of course, with PS3 not due till March 2007 the Wii will be the big gaming story over Christmas, although the decent stock situation means the usual "parents paying over the odds on eBay" stories wheeled out by the tabloids whenever a new console launches will have to be shelved. Anyway, assuming these launch details are about right, are you still interested in Wii? Tempted to do a Peter Moore and buy one to complement your 360? Personally I've got a few issues with the system - albeit after only a small amount of time playing with it - but at that relatively low price and with no PS3 distraction it's easy to predict that the Wii will get off to a flyer this Christmas. And it will.
