We've had another change-around in the way Wii MotionPlus is set to ship to consumers, with EA taking the rare move of bumping release for the games up one week. Now EA is set to ship the two games on June 8th, the same week the freestanding Wii MotionPlus units hits stores. Guess EA didn't like the idea of Sega having the only MotionPlus title out the first week the new peripheral is available.
In addition, EA's latest announcement reveals that they've altered their pack-in strategy. It looks like Tiger Woods 10 will be shipping with a MotionPlus pack-in, but Grand Slam Tennis won't outside of Europe. This should allay fears expressed in earlier posts about ending up with more MotionPlus units than Remotes to use 'em with. Tiger's prices at $59.99 with the MotionPlus pack-in, quite a bargain, and both games are going for the standard $49.99 when packaged alone.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of effect the pack-in has on Tiger Woods Wii sales. It's the EA Sports title that typically does best on Wii, although previous editions haven't managed anything that could be reasonably called blockbuster sales. Maybe this'll be EA's lucky year on Wii?
