Hiya :)

I'm looking to buy a wii and I'm looking for a good package at a reasonable price. Maybe around £200ish?

I know I won't really get one for £200 but like thats just a rough figure! :P

Anyway, a lot of the shops I have looked in (argos, dixons etc.) are either out of stock or only offer quite crappy packages.

So any ideas where I can get quite a good package for a decent price?

Where did you get yours and how much?

(Preferably a package with supergalaxy btw) :)

Cheers

^ What he said. I think that usually online you get better deals as well as what you really want..
If you're not willing to do it online then I guess you're fresh outta luck until the stores near you get em.

I had a wii from launch and sold a few months back for 130 pound. What a bad decision that was.

Bid on ebay and hope for good luck :)

I'd say use an American Ebay.
GBP is worth more than USD, so you can strike a good price for one.

Basically every shop is now selling them in massive bundles for £350. If you just ask around, and go to the least known places and ask if they have any in stock, you might just be able to get the basic normal package. Console, Remote, Nunchuck and Wii Sports, if you can it will be £179.99. Then you can buy Mario Galaxy after. I haven't seen any bundles with that in yet, although there must be some. Sorry I can't really help.

Well, yes it does - it saves you time looking for one, which you won't.

You'll manage to get one for around £270/80 with just the basics.

lew!

Yeah, after xmas all the prices drop and everything goes into sales.

Buy a phone and get a free wii.

Or buy it off ebay, Or look in the trade-it or your local paper.

You'd be lucky to even get one this time of year, they're going for £300+ on ebay.

Lol how the hell would you know if I will look or not?

And no actually, I wont be paying £270 as I have already saw some cheaper than that but was just looking for cheaper prices.

No your post was not constructive to this thread in any way. I requested some ideas as to where to get a cheaper wii so posting "SOS U WONT GET 1" doesn't help me at all, it just shows you are clearly a fool.

My mum got a basic one I think, I don't think it comes with the Nunchuck thing though, it was just the console, the Wiimote, Wii Sports, Ratatouille and Super Mario Galaxy, it probably does have a nunchuck with it she just didn't notice xD

If it came with Ratatouille and Mario then its a bundle. :P Also, you will have a Nunchuck, its in every package. :D My mum got a basic one for my brother from Asda or Aldi. Something beginning with an A anyway. :S She was lucky to get one really.

kk.

i have to say that i know some people who have been getting them at like £180 with sports etc. then just by the game you wanted...

all i can suggest is to keep looking and whenever you go into a shop that has the slightest possibility that they may supply it, dont be afraid to ask. dont forget supermarkets

Yea my mum was lucky, she went to GAME to reserve one and the lady at the desk was like "we have them in stock now!" and my mum was like a cloud of dust running to the bank to get some money out xD

Lol, no where was doing reserves when my mum was after one. It was first come first serve everywhere! She said she'd been looking for one for so long that she nearly fainted when they said they had them in stock. :P

Just wait until after christmas as they are all sold out at the moment, so shops can get away with selling them at rediculous prices.

Look online, as most people said.
Then again, if you want it for xmas, i doubt you'll get one, as its nearing christmas, and most places will sell out.
I recommend searching online, and if in doubt, EBAY IT <3
