retailers cashing in on the Wii...

tommyboy

looks like retailers are taking full advantage of the demand of the wii, Gamespot and Ebgames will sell it as a bundle for 700 bucks.

I remember retailers last year selling the xbox 360 for $100-200 more, but not $450!? The reason I buy everything seperate is because thats what I actually want. not dumb bundles that force you to buy stuff you don't want. I am looking forward to seeing how big the bundle box is...
If its this expensive for the wii bundle, I can't even imagine how much the ps3 bundle is(well prolly not as bad as whats going on on ebay, just saw one go for $2450:eek: )

well, I guess my xbox and Gamecube should hold me off for another year:) and I just pulled out my old SNES to play a few games... and looking to buy super metroid off ebay so I can play the " best metroid game of all time".

Yeah, I agree with you. The whole bundle thing is pretty lame, since their is no non-bundle option.

Ebgames is saying $699. Ouch!!!!!!

scotts link now shows what is included in the wii bundle. So they charge you a 12 month protection plan when nintendo already gives you a 12 month warranty, WTH . looks like you have to subscribe for a dumb magazine too...

I paid 1000 bucks for my xbox 360 bundle but it came with everything you could imagine.

Shizelbs

But did you actually want everything it came with?

For the ps3 the place to go is Costco. If they have the 20 Gig, I'm in business. Amazon isn't selling them via pre-orders yet but they are slated for Nov 17. I gotta have the Wii too, which releases Nov 19. Dang...guess I gotta wait on that SVS sub! :0
