    Got 1 of the £299.99 bundles for a friend from Gamestation online this morning but I think they only want the console. Anyone know if I take the games to the shop when they arrive could I get the money back on them or maybe even get for a voucher for them. Thanks
  • A big LOL to 'techfocus'. They've had Wii's in stock for a good half an hour and they can't shift 'em at the rip-off price of £299!!!

    I hate these gready retailers, surely Nintendo can stop them selling well over their RRP?

    I know you can exchange them for other Wii games as I bought a bundle instore this morning and was toldthis. Not sure if you can get a refund though.Hope this helps.

    LOL really, they're now out of stock. Who's the fool, the retailer putting them up way over RRP or the people buying them. RRP is recommended retail, Nintendo can't do anything to stop people charging more than that. If they could then they could also limit people charging less so it's double edged sword.

    Face it, the retailers would not charge so much if they didn't think there is a market, there is and they are. Vent all you like the retailers don't care the fact there are such markups and still selling out is evidence of that.
  • Just noticed my Tesco order for 1 x Wii Console:Sims Castaway/Ratataouille placed on the 11th October was cancelled on the 20th November without any word from CC ?!?! Glad I managed to get sorted elsewhere or I'd have been right p!ssed off !

    Not according to the t+cs. Bundles have to be returned together and you cant return part of a bundle.

    I thought about that too...

    You're only option, I guess, is to sell unwanted games on ebay / amazon marketplace...
