    After I rang the local tesco thought it can`t be right, so hubby went down and yes it is £175 ish the difference only comes off when it goes thru the till. So being cheeky I`m taking the full price one back this week and the £4.50`ish I saved will go towards the Wii charging dock I have just ordered from Tesco direct, so that works out at £10`sh with the saved £`s. Every little adds up.
    Thanks all I love this site.

    Hi All

    I dont post very often but thought I would return the favour after I have used many of your finds.

    Tesco direct currently have the wii in stock with free delivery and the reduced VAT rate. If you also use one of the codes which can be found here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1091817&page=2&highlight=tesco+direct+code (which is £13 off a £90 spend) it totals £163.03

    Hope this helps someone else

    Thanks very much..it helped me...just ordered one...great price !!!!

    What with the £13 off code, the clubcard points, ordering through Quidco and using a cashback credit card to pay, I think I got a bargain !

    Many thanks !
  • I got a free Wii when my mum took out her new mobile contract with Vodafone. She's paying £30 per month for 600 minutes and unlimited texts, got a new phone with free Bluetooth headset worth £25 and £90 cashback through Quidco.

    Good idea for anyone thinking of taking out a new contract.

    Remember the Wii including Wii sports is also £157 in Asda too.
  • I managed to get a Wii with Wii Sports from my local Asda on Friday for £157! (and its only a small store) Absolute bargain! Have been checking their website frequently and it shows as out of stock, so they may still have them in stores! Their games for the Wii are also one of cheapest (along with Amazon) - got Mario Kart with wheel for £28 and Big Brain Academy for just under £15.:j

    well i got fed up today, cause i'm sick of waiting for a good deal to come up

    went to asda the other day and they had the £157 console without a game.

    Tesco said they were getting some in today, so off i toddled to game.

    told them that tesco had the console with a game for £179 less the vat.

    I asked them what deal they would do, i got

    a console
    wii sports
    and one of those numchuckle stuff (well i don't know what i'm getting the kids)

    for £185

    he charged me £170 for the console and game
    and £15 for the num thingy

    im quite pleased with this, as i'm just sick of going round round and round waiting for a blockbusters bargain to come up

    now where can i get the tigerwoods game from
