Cool, $429.95 for premium, I thought they would try and push this to $500.

Price is pretty awesome which was unexpected, $30 more than the Wii was when it launched. It may be possible to find it at some retailers closer to $400. Will be on the lookout for deals now.

Awfully expensive in New Zealand Dollars. Paying almost 50% premium over the Americans without the benifit of the ZombiU bonus the Europeans get.
