Right now, what we're seeing in terms of pricing for the Wii console is that the new $199 price for the basic Wii bundle is holding firm. This basic bundle package is for the Wii console black or white, with one controller and one nunchuck. Also included is the game Wii Sports Resort, and the Wii MotionPlus accessory. This is the new "base" system which is being offered at most online and offline retailers. Nintendo is calling it a bundle because it includes the MotionPlus piece.
Usually bundles will include extra games, but you can also find bundle deals across the Web that include more than one controller/nunchuck combinations, and MotionPlus extras also. The best deals are probably on EBay auction sites but keep in mind that you have to price out all of the pieces you're getting in the package, since often there is no real deal there. If you're going to pay the same price from an EBay auctioneer, you may want to buy from Amazon or Wal-Mart or Target where you have a place to return it to if it's defective, instead of having to deal with EBay, PayPal, or a seller who isn't returning emails.
The cheapest way to get a Wii console is to buy used, plenty of stores both offline and off are offering refurbished or used Wii consoles, since it's been out a few years now and people are upgrading to other game systems. You can find used systems on Amazon, and you can also trade in your system there for credit. You can also find used systems at local stores such as GameStop, the savings may not be huge, but for some used Wii consoles, for the console only, you can find deals just above $100. If the console is not for a gift or other reason you need new, you might consider used as a way to save big.
Where To Buy Wii
Now that the Nintendo Wii is the most popular selling video game console system, there are plenty of retailers and other sellers with consoles and games at a discount. When you are researching prices to buy a Wii, you can find excellent prices online if you know where to look. Here are some tips to help you find out where to buy Wii at the best price.
First, you can search auction sites, but there are not many real deals there these days. For example, searching through recent sale prices for completed auctions, one buyer recently purchased a Wii console on an major auction site - and paid $50 more than the console sold for in stores! For the price this person paid, they could have purchased the latest Wii bundle being offered everywhere for $199. Clearly this person did not do their research, and you don't want to make that mistake.
When you buy Nintendo Wii online, it's best to at least compare prices everywhere, at auction sites as well as retailers like Amazon. You may find that you can get all the same parts and games you are looking for at the same or even a lower price. Before you buy any specific bundle, make sure you compare the prices of the included items as they are sold separately, in order to get the best deal. If you're not getting any kind of real discount, are you at least buying from a seller you can trust? Often, the shipping charges and return policies will make the difference between buying from one seller over another.
The best places to check prices are at the biggest retailers, such as Amazon, or Wal-Mart, if pricing is what you're looking for. You may also be able to trade in old systems and use the cash toward a new console. Make sure you check what you can get for selling a used systems yourself - often, retailers pay far far less for a trade in than you could get on Craigslist or on EBay by selling it yourself. Amazon now takes trade in video games, and will give you an Amazon gift card, which you can then credit toward your new Wii console. That's a great way to save on paying out of pocket.
Wii Bundles For Family Fun
For a family, a video game console can be a lot of fun and inexpensive too, if you calculate the hours of entertainment value you get for the price. Today you can not only play games and get fit, but also watch streaming video, movies television and documentaries, for less than $1 a day. If you're shopping for game systems, look into Wii bundles for family members as a way to all join in the fun.
Lately, Nintendo is packaging the Wii console, along with a single nunchuck and the Wii MotionPlus accessory, with its latest game called Wii Sports Resort. this game is fun for the whole family, and while the very youngest kids might have trouble (under about age 4 or 5) there are sitll plenty of activities in this set of games that kids can play, like throwing a Frisbee or wakeboarding. (The Frisbee game is fun as you are playing with a dog who is retrieving the disc for you when you throw.)
We highly recommend you buy an extra controller, which if you purchase through Amazon, they offer a discount if you purchase the Wii bundle together with the the extra controller and nunchuck. For Wii Sports Resort, you'll also need the MotionPlus. This accessory clips onto the controller, and refines players' movements to make them smooth and even. You have better control of movement using this accessory. As for games, there are plenty of Wii games for kids such as Toy Story 3, Reader Rabbit, Boom Blox, Mario Party 8 and much more for even little tykes.
The Wii bundles best deals will save you money, and you can purchase everything you need to play as a family all at one time.
