Hey, I just recently decided that I wanted to pick up a Wii to play alongside my X360. However, at the moment, my time is preoccupied with school and I also don't currently have the money to pick one up along with the other things I want for it, so right now is not the best time for me to buy one.
So I was wondering, do you think we'll being seeing something akin to Xbox 360's core or premium systems for the Wii on storeshelves by maybe June? By that I mean just the systems and a controller or two, without all the frills of SD cards and extra games etc.
Thanks for any thoughts...
EDIT: I mean unbundled, not stripped down/downgraded...

What? How is that screwing over the customers?
It's the stores that bundle the systems with all the games and accesories so that they can make more money. Selling just the system alone isn't "screwing anyone over."

When you say without SD cards do you mean them INCLUDED (which they're not) or do you mean the ability to use them?
I have never seen a Wii bundle so I can't help you. There are no different packages, the Wii package is basic, and has everything you NEED and only one thing that can be taken out (Wii Sports), but it is an amazing game anyway...
the wii is a "core system" it only comes with one controller and the free game. if you wanted to do it xbox style they would take away the sd slots and wi-fi capabilites or something to make it cheaper, therefore an obvious ripoff

Okay, sorry for the confusion. I don't mean a downgraded Wii or anything like that. When I was talking about the "frilly" bundles, I meant things like a "Family Pack Wii" that comes with 4 E rated games and an SD card and an extra controller etc. - You know, the sort of things that all the game stores like EB or Gamestop do...
Yeah, I don't mean a Wii without SD slots or WiFi or anything like that, I just meant when can we expect to see the Wiis all by themselves without bundles (there that's what I should have said before)?

You're probably looking at April at the earliest. Obviously, the systems by themselves (just one controller set and Wii Sports) are sold now. However, they're just such a hot item that one has to find out far in advance when a store is getting them. I work in the electronics department at Target and the signs that we advertise say that we aren't aloud to sell more than one system to a customer until the end of June. Hopefully by April - Mayish you might be able to walk into any ol' store and buy a Wii for $250. As of right now, you kinda gotta fight for them. I had to wake up at 6 AM and go to my own store to get mine.
