Uh, what? I can understand mindless bashing of video consoles is standard fanboi behaviour, but you've slagged the Wii in favor of the PS3 and are saying its components are REASONABLY PRICEY? They're basically free comapred to PS3 stuff.
Sorry what!?
To start with I am not a Sony fanboy, having never technically owned as Sony console and I am going to buy a Wii when it comes out here in Britain. I choose gameplay over graphics.
Secondly the wikipedia page has changed and at the time it was linked to it, it stated the controllers cost about £30. Maybe I've become a massive cheapskate recently, but £30 for a controller is pricey. That's £90 for me to be able to play with 3 friends. I'll use this link to illustrate £30. I don't know how much PS3 suff costs, but it ain't coming out for 4 months minimum over here, so I ain't going to check.
