No, she lucked out and found one at Walmart. She'd never pay that for one, although I bet your dad would if he let him.
They are out of stock everywhere.

You can get them for a decent price if you can find them. They run about $250 for the basic package. We'll probably be waiting forever to get one since I refuse to pay the jacked up prices people are reselling them for. I'm not that damn desperate. I'll just impose myself on Nickel's mother if I'm jonesing for some Wii.

I should check the more rural Walmarts when I'm traveling to see if they have themChristy said:You can get them for a decent price if you can find them. They run about $250 for the basic package.

All the ones I found were atleast $600 which is twice the amount I wanted to pay.

Since when are they $600? I thought they were around $300. Day bought one a few months back. Him and the girls loved it for about a week or two, now it just sits collecting dust that I clean. :itoldhimso:Christy said:I blame this all on your mother.I want one! But not bad enough to pay $600.

For $50, you can get a game called Wiiplay that comes with an extra controller. Plus, it's not just one game, it has several games. Definitely a bargain buy!kwillia said:I wanna Wii but I'm not willing to pay more than $300 for the unit since I then have to turn around and pay big bucks per game on top of that. Maybe it could be my mid-life crisis present to myself...

Wanna sell it?
They are $600 when someone buys them and resells them. They also have "packages" that have a lot more junk with them.

Where are my pants?
We have one and absolutely love it...It's the best money I've spent on a gaming console since the Sega Genesis way back in the early 90's.
The great thing about the Wii is that you can download all the old Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameCube, Sega, etc. games and play them on the new console. They've also released some very good "Wii" specific games (Zelda Twilight Princess, Rayman Raving Rabits, and Super Paper Mario are three of my favorites so far).
It was definitely worth $250; but $600 is pushing it.
Helpful hint: Call Gamestop (right next to Best Buy) every day and ask them if they have a Wii in stock. No one ever thinks to look there for consoles. That's how we got ours, even in the rush around the Holidays.

I am using an online Wii tracker... but the scam seems to be every package that comes available is a family bundle where you have to pick out 6 additional games and the price is anywhere from 576-630... I won't be muscled into that ####....
I will get one sooner or later....
Christy, if you happen to come across 2 core systems in your travels, pick one up for me too....

Wii is AWESOME...I am forever playing mine. It was worth the 300 or so for the basic package. I was in the Wal-mart in Prince Frederick and I added my name to a waiting list just to see if they call lol. It is crazy how hard it is to get one. I got mine from K-mart so dont forget about that store when you are calling around!
