Press Conference in London at Midday.

I read somewhere that the actual machine is technically only a minor step up from the GC, you're just paying for the controller and net interaction. Could be crap but that's what I read.

Y'know - with all this shit about the Wii being a more 'casual gaming' console, those sure aren't 'casual gaming' prices.
