    All I can find on asda online is sony ps3 and psp, it appears only a very selected amount of stores have the offer. I rang my local Asda store and they told me they don't even sell the consoles but they did have a delivery of 15 wii fit this morning and have 4 left in store with first come first serve meaning cannot reserve any. But whats the point of getting the wii fit if I can't buy the console to play it on.

    £179 seems a good price with 3 games.
  • yeh but thats if those games are games they sell - my local asda is a supercentre and it does not sell many games!

    nice report from someone at HUKD

    Just back from trading the 2 games @ Gamestation.
    I had noted the trade prices from www.cex.co.uk, which they checked on their pc and got given total credit of £33 which included the extra £1 for beating cex, hence i was very pleased to hand over my shiny £2 coin for a new copy of Mario Kart + Wheel.

    So a console, wii sports, & mario kart with wheel cost me £181...Result!
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    my local asda had sold out of the wwe so game i ended up paying a tenner more, but getting tiger woods 2008 :) - thanks OP:beer:
  • Yay! :j
    I went to my local Asda (Gloucester) thinking I'd have no chance. Found the console box, and then looked for the games (only vaguely remembering which ones they were!). Managed to find both, but saw no adverts anywhere in store. Went up to the counter and said that I had seen an advert for the offer but I wasn't sure if it was these games. The girl laughed and said "where did you find that, we were looking for it earlier!". She said they knew about the offer but didn't think they had it. Thankfully, she let me buy it and I'm a very happy bunny! I was going to get the deal posted before at Gamestation but ummed and ahhed and by the time I decided I'd missed out on Wii Play and Mario Kart being available. This is great though. Will exchange the Smackdown one and put it towards something else. Just got to find Wii Play from somewhere now. I tried to find the post on HUKD but couldn't find it as I wanted to thank the person on there that the OP cited.

    Anyway, many thanks and it's always worth going and having a look and asking even if there's no mention of it in store.
