I am getting the Wii for the kids for Xmas,anybody know were is good for it and all the accessory's..?
I got mine in Gamestop and got a good deal but I'm sure somebody will know a cheaper place to buy it over the net
Argos worth a look also. They often have bundles like buy a WII and get 50% off a game. There are threads on here with game recommendations. Mario Kart is v good. I got my own in Tesco when they had 25% back in clubcard points over the summer. Might be worth keeping an eye out for again. Depending on kids ages WII Play may be worth buying also. Has multiple games (more suitable for younger kids) and an extra controller included.
tescoes always have good prices on new released games. gta4 was 40 euro the day it came out. not saying buy it but its an example. halo3 was the same and fifa 09 was cheap also so they do good prices. I'd check smyths and argos for wii bundles as they usually do good deals for big packs
in a email i got from komplett they had the Nintendo Wii Console Sports Pack (Game +Wii remote +Nunchuk controller) for €244 i'm not sure if thats a bargain or not but i'm sure someone here might be able to let you know. here's the link anyway here's a link to smyths prices
Ya if your getting a second controller its worth your while buying the Wii play game with the extra controller free and the game is good for all ages(as multiplayer anyway)
wait till nearer xmass ,last year tesco did a deal at the end of oct ,33 % off all consoles and games ,might do it again as it was a big success last year
I wouldnt wait too close. The last 2 christmas' these sold old out weeks before in most large towns and you had to scavange to find them. Second controllers in particular tend to be gold dust. I remember last in in HMV in grafton street they were out of stock for weeks coming up to Christmas and a week before they got a shipment in and left the boxes next to the counter and they were gone between lunchtime when I got one and 5pm when I went back to get my brothers which was over 100 sold that they didnt event bother to waste time putting on the shelves.
they wer back in the shops a week before xmass , they are a great family console ,well i send my son up to play the x-box when im playing tiger woods on it , he laughs when i hit a bad shot so i then ground him for a week ,
Argos have an offer at the moment. Details here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055403538
looking for one as well.these deals on ebay look good. http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-UK-Wii-CONSO...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1308&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Buy early, I've no doubt there will somehow manage to be another shortage this year(nintendo are C U Next TuesdayS!) Zavi (formally Virgin) had the best price the last time i was looking
Bit dodgy the way that ebay advert says there are 54 Games included. Technically I guess it's true but it's not like there are 54 different titles. (I have my fussy boots on today! )
That ebay deal is not great at all! €250 will get you Console + Wiisports (includes 1 wiimote and 1 nunchuck) €50 will get you wii play (comes with an extra wii mote) €25 for another nunchuck ~€100 for wii fit Total = €425 (for the exact same stuff) Ebay total is about €490 EDIT: BTW dub, teh wii is fairly gimmicky for accesories in my experience they are mostly a waste of time. If you have a LCD TV I highly recomend component cables ($5 delivered) they greatly improve picture quality of most games. Invest in some rechargable batteries, the wii motes are fairly power hungry. You can buy 4 decent rechargable AA in Aldi for less than a fiver ( you will need to buy a charger for them if you don't already have one). I wouldn't be to bothered about the wii battery packs that you'll see around, they cost more than the standard battery and they wont last as long. Also note that wifit board takes batteries (4x AA i think, Im pretty sure some come with it but check to make sure)
Smyths have a great deal going for Oct,for 299 (its 289 as you get 10 euro in vouchers) you get Wii Console,Mega Accessory Pack plus 5 games.
I just picked this up in Smiths,299 with wii sports and the mega accessory pack plus 4 games.I had fifa down as one of the 4 games but they did not have it in stock,how does one play fifa on the wii..?
