Wii console bundle to prices for the same thing at Argos

nedchester

My son wants a wii console for his birthday. Had a look at bundles and Argos seems to be doing a cheap deal. However it seems the same product is at two different prices.

So any experts out there know what the difference is between this at £134.99 Product number: 9239418

and this at £179.99: Product Number: 9313200

They look exactly the same. The cheap one has low availability but have managed to reserve it at my local store for tomorrow.

Any help appreciated.

I noticed that nut also noticed that the cheaper one also says "Wii MotionPlus controller" so isn't that the same thing?

(Do you notice that I don't have a clue about games consoles?!!)

They seem to be the same thing to me. Both have the newer ''MtionPlus'' and both come with sports and sports resort!

Sorry about my spelling of 'two' in the title!

I've had a look and from what I can see the only thing missing is that the more expensive one does not have a nunchuck!!

What I would recommend is reserving both at an Argos and ask to see both boxes. It's usually young staff working in Argos and you can ask to see both items prior to buying - they will go through it with you and work out which is better deal!! However, from the looks of it the cheaper one seems to be

HTH!!

This product number does not exist now. They must have removed it.

Why not get this off Argos ebay. (Motion plus and nunchuck)

or this one off Zavvi ebay which is even cheaper at £129.99 and it looks better in black. (Motion plus and nunchuck) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300542266432

i'm a bit of a wii expert as i have had mine since the mad rush to get 1, when they first came out, if the only difference is that the more expensive bundle has got motion plus, then go for the cheaper one, as not all the games need this option, if the cheaper bundle also comes with a numchuck, then go for that as you sometimes need a numchuck to play them, if you require any more controllers, then keep an eye open for wii play, you get a controller and a game for about £30 or less, that's the cheapest way to get a new 1, hope this helps.
