Hi there. I m considering taking up a fone on a contract which i have never done before where there is an offer for a free nintendo wii and fit plus. I have seen some but cant find the best dea. Could anyone point me inthe direction of a good deal or even offer their views as to if it would be a good move for me or just seek out the best deal for wii etc and buy one and stick to my pay as you go fone. Thank you:confused:

    Depends on the specific deal but in general you would usually do better to buy the Wii and source the phone separately, the cost of the "free" gift is simply built into the price of the contract. No such thing as a free lunch.

    Op, which retailer is the deal from... some are better than others.

    I agree with £note though, on the whole its better to buy the free gift yourself and separate mobile contract.
