Just yesterday, Amazon UK had a preorder page for the black Wii U. That page also came with a £199.99 price tag. As many expected, the listing was too good to be true. The listing has since been removed and all preorders have been cancelled. Amazon said the listing was put up in error.

It would certainly make up for the £230 3DS launch price they forced on us over here.

pretty much all of Europe uses the Euro nas, it's becuase they want to synthesize the entire world into one economy. Partially to compete with what North America has with its free roaming trade policies (US/Canada/Mexico all have a set standard to convert our currencies, and these standards allow for open boarder trade)

Since when does £230 equate to $252? http://www.xe.com/ucc/ tells me it converts to roughly $360. Were you trying to convert it from Euros instead of Pounds?

yeah euros
well shit i thought the UK functioned on euros
when the *crag* haven't they I thought they got rid of pounds years ago
