    Thanks for all the information in this post, and especially the above.

    I saw that they are in fact using AMAZON, and boast (quite rightly) of their intelligent software that finds the lowest price.

    The contract is actually with Amazon, and uses your own Amazon basket at checkout.

    I have seen wii play and remote for less than £24.99, meaning that if you managed to sell the game for even £10 (some say they have got £20, lucky blighters), then it has cost £15 for the remote.

    The price as at 7/5/9 is now £23.98.

    If they have to source from Amazon, and find the cheapest there , then they have to rely on merchants advertising at a low price.

    Hence as merchants come and go, the price is likely to fluctuate a little.

    you can search for the store of "Gamezway"

    I bought a original one from there, and if you need the copies, you need identified with them via mail, the price is cheap for the copies

    There is one trick you can do, that is to join to a catalogue company that is offering brand new customers (at the time of joining only) £30 off £60 spend, or £10 off £25 spend, etc.

    I outline what I did on www.bigbustbras.co.uk/cashback.html.

    I needed 2 remotes for the WII to put in the 2 light guns I bought, so as to avoid putting on and taking off the protective silicon cover/jacket all the time.

    I expect the convenient link above will be removed from this post, so see my profile page for my site and look for information on cashback sites there, for what to do.

    Depending on what merchant you decide to join, and if you go for £15 off £25 (for only one remote) or £30 off £60 (for 2) that works out as either £18 a remote or £15 a remote average cost.

    If your going to give advise to people make sure that you give good advise..:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    :confused: I'm not sure I understand your post? You've quoted the person asking the question & seem to be implying that they are giving wrong adviCe? :confused: Which is rather confusing? Also, in a question such as this I don't think there's such a thing as wrong advice as answers are based on personal experience.

    Standard price is £17.95 including free delivery.

    With the Sale giving another 10% off it comes to £16.16

    Suspect Sale will end soon

    Not allowed to post link so Google "r4i Official Wii MotionPlus for Wii"

    Considering the trade in price at CeX is only £2, I would be suprised if you could get £20 or even £10 for the game by itself.

    I reckon anyone willing to pay more must think it comes with the Remote as well ...
