Leaked images of retail packaging, seems to confirm the new Wii Motion Plus add on will come packaged with a larger rubber protector.
No confirmation yet from Nintendo, but this does make sense.

The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.
Wii Motion Plus Comes Packed In Rubber
"CL60 said:In Australia, we call an eraser a rubber and have always had confusion with visitors over this. You always have to have a rubber with you at school. even in grade 1 :-)"I read the title wrong...way wrong..."So did I.... Is that bad????"
"Al3xand3r said:Import it alongside a bunch of other stuff that are overpriced there? Or is your region different to the US releases?"Well of course it will be around $30 AUD there, the exchange rate with USD is currently 1.27 AUD = $1."At least meant, probably more. We normally pay way above the actual exchange rate."

Er, yeah, that's what I meant. All the $ talk got me. So, is it PAL or does it have its own region so imports won't work?
Then again, it's the same in Europe. I mean, it costs 20 Euros for us as you can see. That's currently $26.4 USD, which would be $36 AUD.
Unless you order from the UK. With the pound falling flat some stuff are cheaper, at least until prices are re-adjusted for the country if it keeps up.

I order overseas when the price is right. With a lot of price cutting and clearance games, I am getting most stuff local at the moment. It is handy for getting games that traditionally take a long time for a PAL release, like Harvest Moon amongst quite a few. I am guessing that in fact will be $40 Au - time will tell.
