UK retailers name not-so-mini Wii Mini price

Following yesterday's announcement that Nintendo's austere Wii Mini hardware revision would be making the journey over to the United Kingdom, some UK retailers have begun to name their price.

hmmm 80 quid for a Wii that cant play GC games, VC games, or have any access to the Virtual Console at all.... This thing should be priced at about £50. I could just buy a second hand Wii for cheaper

i think its cool. not sure about the price, but its a cool little thing

The wii was already small and now they make it even smaller by removing features?!

Also why make a slim version of your old console?
Besides I thought nintendo was going for the XL models..

Seems weird to me, making something that fits in your pocket bigger
Then make something that can go anywhere in your living room smaller

You can find the older Wii models for 40-50 on Craigslist.

Lol that's pretty terrible. Since I've been waiting to get a Wii for a while to play a certain few games I thought this might be handy if it was cheap but who's going to bother when you can get an online-functioning Wii with games for probably half that price on eBay?

Looks cool, maybe I'll get it to replace my door stop.
