As I said I read what you wrote - looked at the awful examples and crazy statements you made e.g not being available for under £300 anywhere / upwards of £400/500) and proved it to be factually inaccurate. There are bundles everywhere for sub £300 - every bundle on amazon is sub £300. If you don't want someone to step in and correct you then don't post a load of rubbish. Simple

Besides, If I'd have ignored your conversation as you suggest I should have then @Grumblevolcano would have never found the Xbox One bundle I pointed out - don't be so selfish. Whats more important, you winning some online debate or actually stepping in and helping out another member here? you're making yourself look incredibly petty

I perfectly understood your point but as it was wrong and misleading I stepped in to correct you. Prices are comparable - Xbox One being slightly more expensive than the Wii U - there certainly isn't this exorbitent £100-200 difference as you are trying to point out.

Wii U 32gb bundles are generally £200-250 whereas Xbox One bundles are £250-300. That a simple fact and I'll happily provide some realistic examples if you'd like - but I'm just happy to help out and assist in people finding good deals like for @Grumblevolcano

Also your posting in a public forum so if I feel the need to reply I'll do so - please don;t try and tell me when and under what cicumstances I can comment

No problem, don't forget to go via Quidco - you can get 6% cashback so thats another £20 saved:)

And in reply to Rhydas I'm not sure what you are trying to prove and I'm not really bothered as at least I've helped someone out finding them a good deal - you're basic point was "everything and anything to do with Xbox One goes upwards of £300" which is way off point and helps no one. You can get an Xbox One + game regularly for £250 and big bundles for £300 odd. If you are paying £400-500 as you suggested you are presumably hopping in your time machine back to launch week........

Wii U Splatoon 32gb Pack - £249.99

Xbox One + Master Chief Collection - £250 (import from amazon germany)
http://www.amazon.de/Xbox-One-Konsole-inkl-Halo/dp/B00T624ZNQ/

Thats not even the cheapest its been - Xbox One prices and Wii U prices are pretty much in the same ball park - don;t know what you are talking about saying Xbox One is £400 :/ You can get it for £310 + 4 major titles (Halo / Sunset / Forza / Evolve) so think its you who needs to stop spouting rubbish

Re: Somebody At Ubisoft Really Doesn't Like Mario Kart 8's Mercedes-Benz DLC

Really what is wrong with people? Watch the trailer - 2 of the 3 cars look perfectly at home in the MK8 universe. Bear in mind they come in different colors - if people looked at the entire MK8 vehicle roster in chrome / silver you'd be saying half of all the vehicles didn't fit in either.

Also at what point did free content become advertising? Its not as though a Mercedes logo has lazily been slapped on a pre existing vehicle model - a lot of work will have gone into the development side of this by Nintendo creating these models from the ground up and all people can do is whine its breaking the "magic".

This is just sponsored DLC which means you're getting an expanded roster of vehicles for nothing. People complaining need to get a grip
