Wii Party and remote bargain

Did a search, don't think this has been posted..
Went to Game today and they have the Wii Party with white Wii remote packs for £22.99. Think they had black ones too. It's also online.
They are going for around £35 - £40 elsewhere and the Wii Party game only is £30 in Game.
CEX are buying Wii Party and remote for £21, ok no deal there but if you only want the remote then CEX buy the game alone for £15 making the remote only £8 to you. Or they buy the Wii remote only for £10, making the game only £13 - a huge saving on current selling prices. Obviously, if you sell both the remote and the game to CEX separately then you make a very small profit - not that I would do this as we wanted both items so it's a bargain to us!
However, we've been after Wii party with remote since Christmas so this was perfect for us. Only thing to be aware of is that it is an 'old style' remote without motion plus, again not a problem for us as we simply wanted another remote so we can all play together. Still need one more remote, so waiting for another bargain to come along!
The lady in Game said she suspects Nintendo made too many remote/game bundles before the motion plus control came out and have too many to get rid of - hence the low price. This may suggest that the price will reduce further in the future, but no guarantees this is just my opinion.

Be careful as games that come in a box with an accessory don't have a separate barcode and cex won't take them, I tried it before with the red steel 2/ wii motion plus controller deal from shopto.net still have it here.MSE- The Glitchhikers guide to the galaxy
