I plan on getting the system (of course), the Wii Sports software (Is that included?), an extra Wiimote and an extra nuncuck, Zelda, the online adaptor, and the component cables. Anyone want to help me out with the math?

Around $650 for me. I'm getting the Wii Toys R us deal, that's the Wii and NFS Carbon, then I'm getting the Wii Play bundle from Target ($5 cheaper than a Wiimote on its own) + another nunchuck, then Zelda of course from JB as they have a good price going then last of all the component cables, which I've been told by an EB rep will be available at launch (pre-ordered) Man this week is going to go so slow, I want to Wii, I'm busting!

NME said: Haha yeah I had the same thoughts
From my office, 3 of us who pre-ordered at Toys R Us.
2 of us from Cannington...I got told they didn't know what it was yet and the other guy got told it was a choice. The 3rd guy was told it was a choice but from TRU in Joondalup. I don't think anyone really knows :/



I got told like heaps of different things, EB told me that there was no free game and that they mean wii sport (eb gone down hill, think they know everythin), i first got told Zelda wen i ordered then someone interupted and said it was a choice, then i was there yesterday and they said open season, i bet i find out on launch day, as long as it aint Red Steel or Marvel, cause i hav ordered em online and it will b 2 late to change, i hav Zelda ordered at eb (i wanted it on release day), so if i can get zelda i will change zelda at eb to somethin else, monkey ball or carbon

Has anyone looked into the TRU Zelda bundle? It looks cool, but they won't tell us how much it will cost.



I see ya in Perth. If its toys r us joon, they told me yesterday that it is open season. But EB is just accross the road. I wonder how much ya can get for a Trade in on realese day??? Knowing eb prob $8

Prices go down after christmas at the post christmas sales.... id say the release day is close enough to wait for the big boxing day sales

If there are the huge shortages they are talking about (only enough to cover preorders) you wouldn't expect a second shipment to reach us before christmas. It would probably be reasonable to expect some incentives in post-christmas sales unless demand for the wiis is great enough that they don't need to.

2 consoles? Direct link maybe? 2 tvs instead of splitscreen? Still, pretty keen though. I think the extra mote and an extra game should be plenty (I do work full time =P though) as long as the game has either MP (Red Steel) or a ton of puzzles (Zelda =D). Something to keep me going for weeks and weeks. Myself and my partner are having a baby so cant go all out, that $4,000 baby bonus doesnt go far enough hehe.
