fantomcirc says:

I remember seeing on an Australian site about a month ago you could get imported wii remotes for about $55, but can't remember the bloody site

Has anone seen these around anywhere?

Seems a little too much effort for 10 bucks... Just check the shops every week and u'll find em cheaper...

Exactly. Why bother trying to import them? It is easier to find specials on Wiimote + Wiiplay. There are always specials for this. I've never seen it for $44, but usually i've seen them for around $59.95, which still works out to be a lot cheaper than buying the Wiimote by itself.

JackAz says:

Plus, when you import them the box is another language, which everyone hates.

phatbass82 says:

I don't mind imports personally. But for something so easy to get cheap here, it's not really worth it.

JackAz: Is that special currently going on for the $44 Wiimote? I need another 2 more for Mario Party 8.

No, I think it's because you mentioned EB.

07/08/2007 I'm in your profile, deleting your spams for Great Justice.

fantomcirc says:

Sorry for being a smart-ass - i think I was tired at the time

I didn't realise they went down that much - I check the catalogues whenever I get them, but have never really seen them for much lower than $70.

Also, I am pretty sure the $55 included postage ($50 with $5 postage; It was an australian re-seller, so they were not direct imports from japan or wherever).

Thanks for the help
I don't care about the language either, as i would throw the box out straight away anyway.

Hmm, I'll keep an eye out for cheaper ones though.

BundyDanger says:

When I got it for $44, it was marked as $50 but when scanned dropped down to $44. Dunno if the extra 6 bucks off was accident or a certain percentage off... Was during the week that Mario Strikers was released...

Rather just buy a Wiimote from the shop.

Ye there seems to be a lot of sales on anyway so I'm sure you can find a bargain

Just buy a wiimote from Aussie stores, save you from the risk of anything going wrong, like an old wise man said "Its better to be safe than sorry"

All this to save $10??? what happens if it stuffs up, then you will need to pay shipping to send back to that site etc where if you buy from Big W or Kmart etc you can return it yourself.
