Not really. Check Ebay for price listings. No one can find one, and the demand is incredible, so the price is up. I was going to sell mine, but I'm probably not going to. Too much work.

What should the price matter if you are going to play a lot. As long as you aren't paying a rediculous amount then its well worth it.

sorry to be the bearer of bad yet obvious news, but, yes , you got screwed over. What alot of people do not realize is that small business game stores get wiis all the time and sometimes nobody even knows! Plus, certain stores might put out wiis durin the middle of the day when nobody is usually around. Two days ago, i just waltzed in to Toys R US. Hiding in the corner in a glass case were 4 wiis! they said they put it there to avoid ebay sellers! Ironically, i bought two, one for me and one for ebay!:twisted:

in certain cases, you have to realize that internet, ebay, and camping out are not the only ways to get a wii. Common sense, patience, and knowing where to go are too

The best time I've ever spent in relation to a Wii was the 6 hours I spent waiting outside the store anticipating it's release. Honestly.

i beg to differ with everyone else here. if you want a Wii right now, then $400 is a good price to pay considering some prices on ebay and amazon. as far as games, the 2 MUST BUY game- Zelda TP and Mario Galaxy. Two of the best gaming experiences of this generation. Zelda won several GOTY awards last year, and Galaxy will this year.

You know patients goes along way, like $150 long way

We were looking to get a Wii last xmas, but couldn't find one, and decited to wait, we picked one up mid summer from Target. Paid $250 and enjoy it

I guess we should have sold ours on Ebay and made out like bandits, but we choose to keep it, i don't think there is any better combination this gen then wii60

many places wont sell you a wii for 250.00. sure they love to advertise that but when it comes down to it and they actually have it in stock they wont sell it to you unless you buy a "bundle" containing 1 or 2 games and choose a accessory. the amount of stores that say they sell a wii for 250 but only really sell bundles is rediculious. 400 is not a ripoff since many stores make you do a bundle that is close to that anyway.

If your persistant enough $400 is a bad price to pay. I picked up my Wii yesterday at a local Walmart for $250 andI was told itwas the only one left, but who knows maybe they had more in the back. They didn't even have it behind the glass because they did not want a riotof people swarming back there to get their hands on it. So, if you search around enough and ask you may find one and not have to get ripped off on Ebay or by some individual. BTW, Ebay is a laugh at how people are charging $75-90 just to ship a 5lb Wii.........that's like freight shipping lol.

I'm in the middle of New York and Boston. It's kinda a generation thing because my pop likes whatever team my gramps likes and I like whatever team my pop likes. And I guess back in the day, it wasn't bad to like the Patriots/Yankees.

You over payed, but with the holiday season it can be expected. I bought mine at retail and it came to $301.00 CAN (including taxes). Then I dumped a ton of extra money into games, another controllers, wii remots and rechargeable batteries....that is where they get you:(
