Hey guys.

I got a Wii last December but sold it two months later since there weren't many ames and I wanted to persue in music (drumming) Well now I'm wanting to go back to the Wii. I've just put my DS on eBay with an R4 (two week old DS, since I traded in my old white DS with the hinge crack plus a few accesories for like 150 bucks, and payed the rest) and hoping to get around 250 tops. This may be a bit steep, I know. But the DS is in excellent condition.

Anyway, back to the topic. If I get 250 for it, I'll have five hundred dollars total letting me buy a Wii. I've shopped around and recently found a deal I think is good from JB Hifi Melbourne and was wondering if anyone thinks I should alao go for it.

The deal is;

Wii bundle (includes Wii console, Wii Sports accessory pack and choice of Mario Party 8 or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption game): $399

Now If I get this deal, I'll have around one hundred dollars left, which I'm hoping to get a game or to to keep my preoccupied (I'm a teen, I spend money on games k

Should I get the the Big Brain Acedemy with Wiimote bundle for $64 or the Wiiplay and Wiimote bundle for $64 dollars, and then spending around 30 dollars on a nunchuckOR should I get the Guitar Hero III bundle for 127 dollars.

I've only played guitar hero for a bit, but it seems fun. However, if I purchase the WiiMote bundle PLUS a Nunchuck (at a cheaper price) I

That's a pretty good deal from JB(ask for an extra $20 off) if you need a second Wiimote I recommend getting Wii Play or Big Brain Academy (haven't played the latter). If you don't NEED a second remote, get Super Mario Galaxy.
I've never played a guitar hero game so someone else may be able to give you a better perspective on that deal

Do you really reckon they'll put another 20 bucks off? Man thats a sweet deal.

The reason I want to get another remote and nunchuck is to get my friend(s) to play with me, as they comne over often. Mario Galaxy is a great game, but I want to involve my Wii with my friends.

By the way, the deal ends on the 24th, reckon they'll have enough stock, if I Buy it lets say on the 11th?

If I could get Galaxy instead of metroid that would be the best ever deal, but I doubt they would do that.

I'm assuming theyre giving corruption and party as theyre a little unknown then other games like galaxy.

You could try ebay, but that deal sounds pretty good. Sometimes patience is the key. I got a wii with 2 remotes, 2 nunchucks, 5 wii games and 7 cube games + 13month warranty for $460. Then I got mario galaxy for $79 at jb hi fi.
