They could end up getting more Wii's to give out for preordering. Or you could just buy it at a place that's not EB. :\

It is a superdumb idea, I'm a big gamer girl and even -I- wouldn't do that stupid trade, the full cash value is fair enough. Your friend is taking advantage of your fanboyism. Just...blah, whatever, its your games. Just think its a waste.

Yeah. This isn't like a "I'll sell you my $250 reservation for $300" or anything like that. At least then I could see someone who's REALLY desperate paying the extra $50 to be guaranteed a system.

eBay is going to be fun that week.

Then you can wait D: I'll probably have to wait for Christmas even though I want it (I want to save more, why spend all your money at once?), I'm sure you won't die because you don't have one :3

Bah! I'm guessing that you'll be able to pick one up on the day anyway. There'll be plenty!
If not, you won't have long to wait.
Just be thankful that you don't live here in Australia.

Release date: 7th December
Price: Hmm... What was it that Emptyeye said...
$249US / $331.86 Australian?
Well, yes...if you follow exchange rates, but we get slapped in the face with a $301.90US / $399AU pricetag.

Reasoning? Well uhh... There's the Goods and Services Tax (10%) *Cough* Doesn't the US have tax?
Then there's shipping. *Cough* Oh right! I forgot that games were manufactured in the US, then shipped to the rest of the world. Where's the US shipping costs?

Anyway. They're the excuses used by people to justify why Aussies pay $75US for a brand new console game when in the US, they only pay $50US.

You need to stop worrying about this. If getting a Wii on release is the only thing that matters to you, then you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

Ok thanks all for the comments.

Now I have a plan, since my neighboor has it preordered he will
go to ebgames early to buy then I go with him and take one of
the wiis too.

Hopefully there will be more than twelve as the manager said.

$250 + $50 = $300

Last time I checked, we got the same prices as the US, give or take, in rare cases $50 or so.

One thing I just wanted to add: The 6.6% general import tax has been obliterated. So yeah, we'll surely get it at $250 flat. BUT! 7% Sales Tax begins four days before the Wii's release, so the actual amount you'll have to pay is $267.50.

What it isnt a good idea?
He is indeed going early to get the already pre-ordered wii
so I go with him and if there are more than the
pre-ordered amount I can buy one.

You neglected to mention the bit where you BUY yours.
