Nice price for the deal but it does only come with three games rather than 96 and the refurb does not come with any wires nor does it come with a wiimote/nunchuck combo.

96 games on 4 discs.. I don't think they should count the 35 mini games in Carnival as 35 games. That's a rubbish game btw. As is Wii Play. So you get Wii Sports (free anyways), Wii Play, and Carnival and they are all really cheap in HMV etc

Still a good price for the Wii and Wii fit though.

Lets not forget the £60 P&P there charging too, not exactly a bargain once you factor ALL the costs in.

Yes I saw that in The Independent newspaper last Friday. Good price, if anyone looking for onw.

good to see a decent price for the console by itself, too many offers are bundles with games in it that you don't really want

That makes it a very bad deal! Better go with the OP's one, buy Wii fit seperately and a 2nd controller with free Wii Play and ignore that last game.

Not bad.I picked up Resi 5 for forty quid there. Xtravision are getting pretty good.

just to add i seen the Wii and Sports pack in Powercity as well for €199.99

alastair_doom

€199 in Curry's aswell now.

Worth bearing in mind that Nintendo released a new firmware for the Wii last week that apparently fixes the Twilight princess hack, so if you're interested in running homebrew on a Wii this might be the time to buy one before these fixed consoles start appearing on the shelves.

Not my area, so i'm open to correction on this*

I haven't seen the accessory pack but I bet ya it just a load of plastic tennis rackets, golf clubs etc which are just a pile of crap that you don't need and will never be used after the first day. Docking station is handy tho.

As well as having the Wii @ €199, Xtravision have a bundle - Wii & Wii Sports + Any Game (exc Wii Fit) + Extra Wii Remote + Extra Nunchuck for €299.

I second that and especially now that there is a USB loader out for the Wii that will allow you to play all your games from a Hard Disk Drive or USB pendrive.....

greenman09

What are these retailing for in the north.

adamleigha

not if the Wii is running on V4.00 firmware it wont!! which all new wii's will most probably be.

madmoe

There are bound to be some Wii's out there running a fimware less then 4.0, that is if your quick to get it.....

adamleigha

Pre owned wii's are your best bet,Game stop are doing a good deal at the moment,wii console,wii fit and a geame of your choice plus a 3 month warrranty and you can check the version revision instore before you buy.

I was thinking about getting one of the used Wii's from gamestop as it seemed like a good deal, €189 for the wii, remote and nunchuck, wii sports and a used game of your choice(excluding wii fit of course). Also they said it has a years manufacturers warranty on it. Anyone esle bought one of these used one?

adamleigha

yeah I've got one from thee wilton store in cork but only a 3 month warranty on it.

HMV now selling the Wii with a second wii-mote (normally about €45 anyway), for €210. Saw an ad in The Sun today.
