So I have $275

[Ikith]

I was wondering if I should buy a Wii... Does anyone know of any good deals?

Simple answer, yes.

Assuming that you don't have anything more important to purchase i.e. Bills, Kids needs, Gas, Rent, Trophy wife or have a pre-existing drug/porn habit that we are seemingly unaware of.

I heard a rumor on G4 saying they -might- be having a Wii price drop for the holidays. With how they are selling though, I don't know how true this rumor is.

[Zalius]

it is.

[Ikith]

Hm... Maybe I will wait... Basically I'm selling something I'm addicted to but it has gotten really boring.

Nintendo has traditionally done price drops in the past in the ramp up to XMas whereas Sony and Microsoft have not unless under some special circumstances (burning off old hardware model stock to introduce new ones a la PS2Slim)

Otherwise, prices tend to stay static until the spring when system sales dip and before the "Dads & Grads" buying phase in March-May.

Selling your RealDoll mayhaps? lol

[Mizango]

it is.

Awesome, that made my mind up as far as Christmas goes. My daughter has been wanting one of her own, this is outstanding news! I heard it also but chalked it up to merely being a rumor.

[Ikith]

Hmm how much will it be dropping and when will it start?

[izembo]

virtually no chance in a nintendo price drop on wii this year, theres no reason to as they're still selling out and making a profit at $249.

Ignorance is bliss!! Let me dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!!

I pretty much only use mine to play Resident Evil 4 for gamecube. I guess there are games that people enjoy on it though.

It is just a rumor, but yeah, lowering prices on a system that sells out for almost a year already would be kinda pointless.

I heard a rumor on G4

Wait wait wait. I hope you just wait G4 for Ninja Warrior/Sasuke. But on topic..most of that money will go in gas probably anyways so save it a bit more imo.

[Clipse]

Hope you're gonna somehow get more than $275, how are you gonna buy/rent games & get extra remotes/nunchucks? How long can one play Wii Sports by themselves before getting bored?

[Correction]

if you only have $275 why would you buy a wii now when all you can play on it is wii sports until you can afford an actual game like metroid?

[Semitry]

If you order it online to avoid tax, get RE4 too! Those 2 should come to about 275.

Yeah, this could easily turn into a "hate G4" topic (basically everyone on this network is a complete tool), but I just leave it on in the background while I'm playing games, usually isn't anything else on during the day. >.< I do actually watch Ninja Warrior though, that show is awesome. >.>

This is the correct answer.

Where did you get this deal from? Are shipping charges included in the $275?

Nintendo said no Price drop this season. If you want a source, its gofuckinggoogleit.com
Or IGN.

Also: Choose quickly.
Christmas season is upon us, and Market goes boom.
Wii is already hard to find...
