Question
I want to purchase a Nintendo Wii for my children.  Do you know where I can get one at a discount?  I do not want a used Wii b/c at Game Stop (EB Games), it is not that big of a discount.  My kids said they don't really want Wii Sports (Wii Sports does not come with the used one)  The big places I checked (Amazon.com & Game Stop) are priced:
$250--Wii console
$35--Wii controller
$18--Wii Nunchuck
$35--Super Smash Brothers, Brawl game
I did find a very cheap place to buy the stuff (I need atleast 2 controllers), but when I sent them an e-mail to customer service they did not respond.  All this stuff costs too much to not have customer service.  The cheap place I found is http://gamesingate.com/Productlist.html?CatID=200203855


Answer
Gday Nikki,

Well to get a bargain or something reasonable you will probably have to look to Ebay or Craigslist.  That way you might be able to get a Wii, couple of controllers and games for under your budget.

Just Remember A standard Wii available everywhere will run you $250 with a game.  (Walmart have some fairly decent bundles online plus new and warranty might also be appealing)  There are some games that include an extra controller or numchuck when purchased new.  I would stick to a more brand name place (Again if purchasing online with someone off the beaten track to a bit of research first)

Continue to shop around you never know what you might find.

Hope this helps
