    In terms of packages with games you can get the Wii with Wii Sports and Big Beach Sports for £179.99, which is the retail price of the Wii console by itself (click). You can same the deal at GAME as well, with the option of getting Wall E or Sports Party free instead of Big Beach Sports (click). However, for me personally the best deal is from HMV, where you can get the Wii with a remote and nunchuk, plus Wii Sports and Mario Kart with a steering wheel for the £179.99. You'll have to spend more on extra accessories, but that's a very good deal because Mario Kart is a very good game (click).

    What other accessories would I need to buy with the HMV deal?

    The HMV deal has everything you need for one player, including two games (Sports and Mario Kart). The only other thing you might want is a second controller for two player games. The best way to get one is to buy Wii Play (around £28 in many places) which comes with the Play game and a Wiimote controller. But the HMV package on its own has everything you need to get one player up and running.:D

  • I think I saw an Argos deal in the paper today (either the Sun or Mirror can't remember) Wii with sports and Mario Olympics also at 179.99. But i can't seem to find it on its site.

    HMV is a good one and TopCashBack have cashback as well on top....I tried Argos last week for one but none in my local store. HMV delivery is fast as well.
  • For the Argos deal with Mario Olympics go to the page with the Nintendo Wii and click on the button that says "Special Deals" and it is number 4 I think.

    Hope that helps.

    Yep good deal which I went in for.

    I think Pay are doing a game called Wii Games which has a free controller for £27.99 which is basically how much a controller costs anyway.

    I'm looking forward to the James Bond game- shall have to get the gun to play that one :)
  • Well despite HMV website saying that the Wii will be back in stock in 21 days, they have taken my money and I can no longer cancel the order on their website (yet I have not received any email from them to say my Wii is being despatched). Not sure whether this means they are despatching it a lot earlier than expected or whether they have simply taken my money to stop me cancelling. Either way, I've now ended up paying for two Wiis (I only want one!) as the one I'd previously ordered but had given up hope on has finally arrived. Aaaaarghhh!!:eek: In desperate need of getting my money refunded before I go into overdraft and this whole escapade ends up costing me even more. :(

    hi

    oops, put this out on it's own when I guess it should go here.

    Anyway, planning on buying the kiddies (girls aged 11, 7 and 3) a wii for xmas.

    Couple of questions if I may:
    -where's the best place to pick up a wii in terms of price and availability,
    -what do I need in terms of accessories,
    -best game recommendations

    many thanks in advance moneysavers :T
