Double poasting, but this is worth noting.
Kotaku thinks the Nintendo NEtwork thing is actually free for anyone who buys the upper tier console, and is essentially a rewards program for doing so, giving 10% nintendopoints (or whatever the credit system on wii u is called, assumedly it will be in actual money, like the 3dS eShop) back on every purchase until December 2014.

Edit: Ugh. It's just occurred to me that Nintendo won't be announcing a UK price, and instead we will end up with the usual "RETAILERS DETERMINE PRICES" crap for Europe again.
