Where to buy Wii

Buying wii console with a bundle of games and accessories will cost you substantially more but sometimes you can get a good deal if you shop around and get a good bundle to go with it. After all, sooner or later you will want some good selection of games on your wii, and probably also a second controller, extra nunchuk and possibly other cool accessories.

How much does it cost when you buy wii items separately
Wii console: $249
Games: most games cost around $35 - $50
Extra controller: $40
Extra nunchuk: $20
----------------------
Total: $344 - 359

How much will it cost to buy wii bundle
Every retailer offers his own bundles that can include games, accessories, wii points etc. Far not all bundles offered are such a good deal. But if you have patience and time you may be lucky to find something good.

Let's look at WalMart's bundle which at least lets you chose 6 games and 1 accessory: lowest price $660.46. Here is a breakdown:

Console $249 (but hard to get for this price)
extra wii remote $40
extra nunchuk $20
1 accessory of your choice &20
Mario Party 8 (this is a great family disc) $49
6 games of your choice (between $45 - $55) $300

The total value of this offer is $678 so nearly the same as when bought separately. WalMart offers a great selection of games as opposed to many other retailers which in many cases don't let you chose your games.

Unfortunately, WalMart, and many other stores offering attractive bundles are out of stock for wii at the moment so keep checking if you have time to wait.

Conclusion

Buying a wii bundle will not necessarily save you money but it is hard to find a wii console without a bundle. So if you want to buy a wii now, get a wii with a bundle of games and accessories you would want to buy later anyway.
