Following the announcement that Nintendo will launch the Wii Motion Plus add-on on Friday June 12th, and UK retailers have finally been contacted regarding trade prices and availability.

The peripheral has appeared on some online portals at £24.99 – more than the expected $20 retail price that has been touted for North America – but MCV understands that the final High Street price is more likely to be £19.99.

The upcoming Wii Sports Resort, which will come bundled with the Motion Plus, will retail for around £49.99.

Joint MD of CHIPS Don McCabe told MCV: “I personally think the increase to the Wii trade price was made to take the eventual inclusion of Wii Motion Plus in the hardware bundle into account. It might sound like a lot of money but it’s a complicated bit of kit.”

£50 total ripoff, it really is.
Talk about day light robbery.

Yeah, the currect predicted price for the Motion Plus add on is a bit steep. It ought to be more like £10-£15 I'd say.

it's a utter disgrace it really is, honestly who are they aiming this at? family's barely have enough money to spend on things for there kids nevermind something that's coming along with the long anticipated motion plus, for a retail price of £50, incredible.
(if you add together your'e wii as standard, a new wiimote, another nunchuk for the 2nd user, the motion plus, etc, possible SD/HC etc. pretty hefty number for this? makes you think doesn't it.

I would rather not bother with motion plus, it's pointless now anyway.
