Oh, for anyone whose kids are naging for one, they are available from amazon.de (the German amazon) for 270 Euro - so thats under £200.
The spec machine you get is exactly the same as the UK version, the only difference is that you will need a Euro adaptor to plug it in. The games and the instructions are all in English.

I might go ahead and treat myself to one. What do 'we' think of them? |
It all depends on what you want it for, AFU.
It's great for kids and women but if you're hoping for serious 2nd-gen gaming experience, forget it - you'll be very disappointed. Unless you're in to bouncing Mario around for hours on end.
The 360 is awesome, the likes of Gears of War, Bioshock, Call Of Duty 4, Halo 3, PGR, Crackdown, Dead Rising etc just have to be played.
Funnily enough I've just ordered a Wii from amazon.de last week for the kids for Xmas, they'll probably love it (although maybe not my 5yo lad who's obsessed with shooting games and zombie killing
).
The top scores from Metacritic shows the lack of quality games available for the Wii as compared to the 360...
