canand Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Amazon has slashed the price of the popular Nintendo Wii gaming console to £139.99, a saving of £60 off the official price, one that includes free delivery in the UK. Most other retailers like Argos are currently stocking the console for £180. Last month, Nintendo said that it would cut back the price of its console in the UK to that price after increasing it back in March 2009 to £200. Amazon's offer is quite generous with up to five units available per household to prevent any abuse and allow as many customers as possible to buy the console. Apart from the Wii Sports, the game console also includes a wireless Wii Remote and one Nunchuk. Because of the recent cuts in price from the console's main rival, Sony's Playstation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo has bundled the Motion Plus Peripheral and a couple of games in the new "basic" pack. So clearly Amazon's offering is a notch down. Prospective buyers will get two selected games for free when buying a Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort plus the Motion Plus Controller from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0007UATDG/ref=s9_sima_gw_s0_p63_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=05CNF3NEHHNDKXFVVJ7S&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294 Edited October 5, 2009 by canand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendohnut Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Already been posted elsewhere, specifically in the General Bargains thread. Also perhaps the title of the thread could have been a little more specific? It doesn't really explain what the thread is actually about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I got mine from GAME for £180, and I'm pleased with that as (taking into account the bundled games) I estimate the cost of the actual console with Wii Sports as £110. However, the GameStation deals seem a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 A lot of stores will be clearing house to make way for the new bundle. I think the nwe bundle is a great deal and will make it another of domination for Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
