FISSURE, the cost of putting in the additional parts that Motion+ adds at launch would have made the Wiimote more expensive ANYWAY. Probably about the same increase in cost. And with the boost in performance, I don't think anyone will be unduly stressed about it. Plus (no pun intended) I've seen this thing retailing for $20. Granted, its only a reduction of $5, but whatever. At least they're not selling an entirely new controller. *coughhackwheeze*
