which idiot would pay $80 for a controller, the standard price is $70. But i had heard of some places that had the WiiPlay bundle on sale for $65 while the standard Wiimote was the normal price of $70 so in those cases it is $5 cheaper to get the game.
Although both places i bought my Wii bundle they were selling the bundle for $10 more than the controller alone, problem was the second time i bought it they didn't have any controllers that weren't in the bundle.
