Nintendo Wii Black Bundle w/ Wii Sports Wii Sports Resort for $129.99 + free shipping
TWhen you get a chance to play, you will believe Wii is the next leap in gaming to a new generation. Over time, gaming has become overwhelming to people. Wii returns gaming to simpler times while innovating game development at the same time. The unique Wii Remote gives parents and grandparents a chance to play games with their children. It gives gamers and traditional non-gamers a chance to share the same experiences in this new generation of gaming. For those who grew up on video games, Wii shows that games have not outgrown them. Wii makes you feel less like a player and more like you're in the game. Frenzied sword battles are no longer confined to pushing a button. With Wii's unique freehand controller, Nintendo puts you in the middle of the action. Forget about pushing a button to start a golf backswing. Wii lets you swing the club! Don't push a button to swing a sword, actually swing the sword.
Not a bad price, but personally, I don't think I'd spend that much on an outdated console now. If you can wait, the Wii U is bound to drop in price by next Christmas season (and personally, I would guess sooner). The Wii U will still play Wii games, and you're not going to be seeing many more new games for the older system.
This isn't a deal, that's MSRP.
Isn't this the normal price for a Wii nowadays? My mom bought a Wii two years ago for $125 and when she bought it, it was a deal, but I'm pretty sure it's dropped down to around that price since then.
If you're just looking for a system to play the downloadable older games offered by Nintendo and don't want to spend the extra money for more system than you will use, this is a great unit. It is MSRP and the price everywhere, but it's great for a child's first game system.
@kattotang: Hmm. Perhaps it is. I bought my console early-on so I haven't paid the closest attention. I figured that with two games and a motion plus controller (at least, I assume it's motion plus if it comes with Wii Sports Resort), it was slightly discounted. Maybe I'm wrong.
In any case, I would still advocate waiting. Especially if you're willing to buy used systems, I'd expect to be paying a lot less for the original Wii. ...and then once again, the Wii U is out. It's bound to have a price drop sooner or later. I haven't followed the sales numbers closely, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a price drop akin to the 3DS's.
