Ive been wanting to pick up a wii ever since brawl came out but they only sell the really expensive bundles or if someone actually has the single console it costs like 300 bucks =/. Anyone know a way of getting one for 200-250 bucks ?

Well that's a massive rip off lol. Hey TC: $250 isn't much when compared to $350 or $400 so.

It cost 250$ that's not much compared to the other systems. But trying to find one could be, uhh, a challenge. There's no doubting that the Wii is still the hottest console on the market.

yeah my uncle got me one last may. My cousin new a guy who worked at target who knew when a shipment came in. He got me one. I don't really play with other people too much or have wireless internet, so I can't play with some of the cooler games out. I haven't got a game for Wii since December.

Wii's are not hard to find. You are just not trying hard enough. Call stores in your area and ask when shipments arer coming, and then show up that day.

The wii is a better deal than xbox because its 250 dollars less so you could buy a wii,ds, and still have money left over. I recomend you get 2 controllers though so you can play with your friends because thats what wii is all about.

The original price is 250. Places like Costco, Sams, and BJ's sell the Wii but with sucky games. Gamespot once had an artical about stopping big companies from selling Nintendo products with bad games. Everywhere you look nowadays you see a Nintendo DS packaged with some Bratz game. Or another packaged with some movie game...and lets admit it. Movie games SUCK. But if you are having trouble finding one. I know that Gamestop gets shipments in at 1pm monday's, weds, and friday's. Make your way there and get it. Thats what I did. And have 320 dollars on you before you go. You will want to pick up Brawl. ^_^ Oh! And one more thing, when you say Nintendo is Expensive. Have you SEEN PS3 and XBox 360's prices'? Would you rather pay up to 500 dollars? Or 300? Yeah, I thought so.
