    i need an additional remote controler and nunchuck thingy !! any idea where i can get one cheaply ??

    At the moment you can get a Genuine Wii Remote through The Gadget Zone via Amazon for £15.99 + £1.99 P&P = £17.98

    I don't expect this price will be there for long

    Hi, I'm looking at buying a wii for the first time. Argos have quite a good deal and £169 and Morrisons at £144. There are a few extras with the Argos one but I'm not sure if I need them, however the Morrisons one says it is the 2006 model. Are there different models and will I be losing any benefits by buying an older model. Thanks in advance

    gamestation are selling the official nunchuk preowned for £4.98 instore reduced from £12.99, got one today.
    In the two shops I went to they had them hidden near the top in the window and no others in the store, so its worth checking in the window if you go past a store. still full price online though. Hope it helps someone

    Hi

    I would like to get Beetles Rock band and the necessary kit for OH Fathers Day from the kids.

    OH is an ageing beetles fan, and used to play the drums and guitar so i think he will like this....

    What do people think?

    Is it worth buying? what kit do i need?

    We have never had any rock band type games so have no accessories for that type of thing... I have never played this type of game so don't know what is needed...please can some one advise me so that if i buy this i buy all the kit so that 4 people can play together...

    I was also thinking of getting lego rock band for the kids?

    or will i not need this if i get the beetles version - can kids age 5 and 6 play the beetles version?? is it worth getting cheaper instruments for them so they don't ruin daddy new toys?

    We have a Wii console already, with 2 conrollers and numchucks but only have games such as Super Mario, Lego various games etc...


    any help appreciated....

    If anyone is looking for a Wii console and Wii fit bundle, try Argos.

    I have just reserved one for £199.98. Includes console, wii sports, wii sports resort, wii fit plus with balance board and rechargeable battery pack.

    And a £10 voucher as you spend over £100.

    Offer valid until 6th April only

    Will pick it up tomorrow. Best deal I could find......................unless of course anyone else can find a better one :)

    Got a Wii for Christmas/birthday but my family also put a bit in extra to cover the accessories and a game....Finally just bought Mario Kart after getting it cheap in Asda....

    Any suggestions on where is the cheapest to buy another wheel? Is it better to have a Nintendo Brand one so as not to jepodarise the guarantee?

    You SO don't need a Nintendo one - it is just a piece of plastic, and has NO EFFECT on your gurantee WHATSOEVER.

    Poundland have wheels, I think they cost £1 there.

    I did also see genuine Nintendo ones second-hand in Gamestations for around £5.

    Thanks, just found one of the originals on Amazon for £5 something but if it doesn't affect the guarantee then I may get one of the £1 ones...
