Pricing!
$536 (59800 Yen) in Japan for the 20GB version; 'set your price' for the 60GB.
$499/$599 in the USA
USD$634/$761 in Europe-Eurozone (499 Euros/599 Euros)
Price in England not mentioned. (Pounds) It'll be at least as much USD as it is in Europe for sure though...
Note how bad Europeans get it?
As for the controller, yeah, blatant Wiimote ripoff... but it's just the tilt functionality. Note how he's flying just by tilting the controller... they said 'without a sensor bar'. Well of course not -- the Wiimote can do that stuff too without a sensor bar! It just needs the bar for the POSITIONAL/AIMING element -- which the PS3 controller does not have. So Sony hasn't quite cloned the Wiimote there... it's got one part, but not all of it. And it was inevitable that the controller would be cloned.
Nintendo was probably just hoping that it'd be as an addon, not as a standard controller...
