eBay.
Retail, the best I've seen is $388 from target etc. Those kind of places (especially JB) might have a deal with a game or something.

I'm in the same boat, I was hoping to get...

The main console deal (controller, nunchuk, Wii sports, and whatever else is in there) plus an extra controller with nunchuk, and Zelda, the greatest game ever.

I've been looking online for ages, and the stores i've been to haven't had any deals going on. I'm in Melbourne btw.

Or do you think it would be worth waiting until the price drops a bit...

Cheers guys.

One major piece of advice for getting cheap videogame gear, don't go to EB Games (only very occasionally they will have a special, but usually on 360 games). I usually go elsewhere first then price match it at EB games.

Start by looking in Target, K-Mart and Big W.

As soon as a game is released, checkout the above places as usually one of them will have the game for around $10 cheaper than everywhere else.

As for bonus bundles, I would recommend Toy's R Us and maybe JB Hi-fi (I am boycotting it as they screwed up my girlfriend's car when they went to install a stereo and refused to claim responsibility). I've seen a lot of different Wii bundles with extra games from Toy's R Us.

Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 are the only consoles you need. Don't bother with Playstation 3

...on a side note, does anyone remember when EB games was known as Electronics Boutique?

Nachos says:

Yeah at the moment Big W has the gear for like $10 cheaper console and games(Zelda!) but no extra controllers in sight... ill try target now! EB didnt seem to have any deals. the only deal i found was myer which was an extra game which i didnt want. and they seemed to imply that Wii sports came with the pack too, which you get free...well kinda...

Haha...don't buy second hand from EB either, you may save $10 (sometimes the same price as other shops that sell it for cheaper), which is still a rip-off for a second-hand game

I recommend buying all game-related things from eBay. Often a well-known seller on eBay will have things $10 less than bricks-and-mortar stores, and still brand new in shrink-wrap.

I.... really wouldn't be surprised. It is EB, after all. They're only just short of charging for the air you breathe when you walk in.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were second hand too! (Knowing EB). Prices vary from all EB games stores i've noticed. On the Gold Coast, there's 5 EB games stores, all with different prices on the same items.
