phatbass82 said: EB Games, well, from the stores here in QLD, I was told that they accept any game for trade, including multiples of the same game.
grimace said: Went to a couple of EB games around here, said they might not allow u to trade multiples - esp if it's WiiPlay

cura said: I don't wanna start a bidding frenzy, but couldnt you look on ebay for some really crap wii games, buy them for $15 each ($45 total), and then trade them in to get SMG? you can save like $35. I've seen wii play go for $5 on ebay.
mizchrissy said: Guys am thinking about getting a wii for christmas n been workin out the best deal and found out from comparing the ad's above/\ that both myer, Jb hi-fi and Dick smith over charge on there wii packages, jb hi fi over $ 40 and Myer over $15 and Dick smith over $17. Especially when dick smith says save $109! hmm always trying to rip us off lol im a tad picky
cura said: It depends what your after. IMO the best deal is just a basic package, i.e. wii console + wii sports and no extras. I think bigw is the best for that. I'm looking to buy a wii also (after my exams finish in a few weeks time), and for me I'm looking to pay around $330 for the console brand new and get the 12month warranty. The only way for me to do that is to wait until target or kmart sell the wii for $350 and then buy it with a 5% discount because I work at coles. Then I'll buy SMG from whoever has the cheapest price. You can check on ebay, they have some really good deals sometimes, like a 2nd hand wii for $300 (but mostly they come without the receipt). How important is the warranty anyway? I never hear about wii's malfunctioning.

cura said: well, my question was whether a warranty is worth it or not, and no one really answered my question. Yes, I'm prepared to pay an extra $50 for a brand new wii with 12 months warranty. Nonetheless, there are some very nice deals on ebay which do provide you with the receipts. Don't believe me? Look here: What you get is a 2 month old wii, with receipt, and zelda tp in addition to wii sports, all for $310 (inc. postage), and yes I realize that this is rare but my point remains that there are good deals on ebay.
Elraro said: been reports of the Wii's processor getting fried in some Wii's so keep that in mind. Also, warranties are a MUST with all electronic equipment. If there's one thing that's more unreliable than trusting friend called "Weasel", it's electronics. Never trust them and ALWAYS have a warranty.

mizchrissy said: hmm the whole e-bay thing, i think its ok for simple stuff like clothing, but when it gets to expensive electronics ect. i stay well clear, wasnt there a report on today tonight like ages ago about people bein scammed on expensive stuff on ebay?
