Nintendo WII wanted (merged threads)

Dixon's also I think sell for the same price with free delivery. You can get 4% quidco cashback.

The console will come with one wiimote and one nunchuk. You might want to buy another wii mote to enable 2 players to play at the same time.

If you dont mind second user then blockbuster have them for £129.99

You have to ask about the offer though as not advertised.

Smells of price fixing, Nobody seems to sell them cheaper.

You may get the odd place that will knock £5 off but thats about it.

New DS coming will be region locked, Another price fixing scam.
Amazing how everything for the UK costs that little bit more.

The basic pack comes with the console, one 'Wiimote' control and nunchuck and the Wii Sports game (basically everything you need for one player to start using it straight from the box).

The cheapest place I've found for just this is zavvi.co.uk for £175. But a few places (including Amazon) are doing the console for around £180 with a free game. Or if you want a good deal complete with fun family game, then Dixons are doing console plus Mario Kart and two steering wheels (you'll need to buy a second Wiimote control to make use of both wheels) for £205. Dixons have quite a good range of packages, some including the Wii Fit (but you'll pay over the odds for this sought-after item - the package with the Wii Fit AND Mario Kart for about £290 is the best deal I've found anywhere).

The best way to get a second controller is to buy the 'Wii Play' game, which is widely available for around £28 (eg. Amazon) and includes both a game and a controller (the controller on its own usually sells for £30+).

Gamestation have them for:

£129.99 pre owned (ask for one in a box! some of them are like-new)
£179.99 with a selected free game
£189.99 with any game (including wii play, which is a controller and a bunch of mini games - good value!)

You get one controller and one nunchuck with the console - I'd reccomend a second controller and nunchuck. You need a controller (~£30) to play every game, you need a nunchuck (~£15) for some - you can start off without a second nunchuck and if you find you want one, get one at a later date.

Also, the controllers take AA batteries, if you don't use rechargeable ones already, then I'd suggest buying some, or a special battery pack that plugs into the wii to charge then (£10 ish)

we got ours from ebay for £140 inc p&p from a catalogue return shop, there was nothing wrong with it bar the box being slightly scuffed.

we purchased wii play from play.com for £27.99 as you get a wiimote with that (wiimote on its own is £24.99).
Another nunchuk for £14.99
and a twin charging station (with spare batteries) for £14.97 from tesco
