Q: What do I need to know about version and prices and availability? How long will the current version stay current? How often does Nintendo change the versions? What is a good price for a basic console with all the standard equipment + Sports game disc?
A: the pricing on ebay can vary by quite a bit so i would advise buying from your local wii stockist. as for your question about current versions i wouldn't worry too much about that as with the wii you can connect to the nintendo network with the wii and upgrade regularly much the same as you would with your pc
