French newspaper Le Figaro reports a December launch at a price point of �250, while the Guardian suggests November 25th. Do they the right details?

In a move similar to the US release, which saw the New York Times report the details before Nintendo had properly announced them, the popular French daily Le Figaro has reported the following on its website on Nintendo's recent spree of announcements:

"Aujourd'hui, � Londres, le groupe de Kyoto indiquera que sa console sera commercialisée en Europe dés décembre � 250 euros."

For those not versed in the lingo, this translates to: "Today, in London, the Kyoto-based group will indicate that their console will be released in Europe as of December priced at 250 euros." And for the non-euro people, that's about �168.

Meanwhile the Guardian have posted on their online Gamesblog that they "recommend saving around 150 quid and provisionally booking Nov 24th off work."

Ladies and gentlemen, eitherway you could have just read confirmation the system will launch this year in Europe. It certainly looks promising, though we'll only know for certain if either newspaper got it right when Nintendo reveal the full details imminently.

Stick to N-E, we're all waiting impatiently to report the latest when it breaks!
