Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250
PygmySurfer writes "According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Nintendo is going to announce today that the Wii will go on sale on November 19th in North and South America, at a cost of $250. It will come bundled with Wii Sports and channels for such things as viewing photos, as well as news and weather. Finally, Wii will also make it possible to browse the web on your television. Nintendo will also announce that 25-30 games will be published this year, as well as about 30 classic games available on the virtual console, costing about $5-10."

Other than that, Cool! I hope someone I know stands in line to get one, cuz you know I'm down with OPWii.
Heh, my kid brother just bought the Core bundle (which means I got his old xbox! Yay for being cheap!). I doubt he fully understands the difference between the two, mostly I think it's that he had the money for the Core and not the Premium (or whatever the mega one is called). He's 16. My parents don't have broadband, so he's not going to be using Live anytime soon. There's no "home network", and he's hooking it up to a probably 10-15 yr old TV. I'm not sure how the hard drive works into things.
