Cheapest Wii
Posted: December, 15 2007
It seems that finding a cheap Wii before Christmas is getting a harder and harder task as the big day looms, some on Ebay reaching the dizzy heights of £270, but fear not:
A massive on-line retailer has produced a whole wad more of them from ’somewhere’ and for the lowly price of £180 delivered.
UPDATE: Since writing this article, a little over 10 minutes ago, Amazon seem to have had a change of heart and upped the price from £180 to £257!!
That’s right, Amazon have miraculously produced another few hundred (numbers dwindling fast) Ninetendo Wiis for purchase before Christmas.
Where other on-line stores, such as Play, Dixons etc. have been asking a premium for the last remaining consoles, Amazon have kept the price attainable - it will be interesting to see how long they last.
So if you absolutely have to have a Wii before Christmas then get over to Amazon and bag yourself a deal.
Sorry guys, but eBaY seems the only place left to get that order now.

In search of wii
My search started in mid-october when my 10 year old son asked for a wii for Christmas. I knew from the start that I had to find him one because of the connection with my name. You see, my name is William Isaac Ishman with my initials being WII and my sons name being William Isaac Ishman the 2nd, WII 2.
As a matter of fact my wife refers to us as wii 1 and wii 2. Every weekend in October and November my time was spent searching all stores in the city I live in, including walmart,toys r us, best buy,circuit city,comp USA and many others with no results.
I spent hours standing in lines and even witnessed a fight in best buy, when two elderly men reached for the last wii. When December arrived I was about to tell my son that their would probably be no wii for Christmas this year, but first I wanted to give the online stores a try.
I check all of the big box stores, always with the same results”out of stock”. I ended up checking a couple of the wii tracker sites, and their it was at amazon.com “in stock”. Amazon was selling the wii for $250.00 that morning.
I immediately went to their site and purchased one.It was worth every penny just to see the look on my sons (wii 2) face Christmas morning. The wii trackers had really done the job for me.

Haha, great story Bill, glad to hear you finally got one!
We purchased one in November and we absolutely love it, such a fantastic idea; just shows you that all the power in the world (360 / PS3) doesn’t necessarily make gameplay any better.
Having said that Gran Turismo 5 looks rather tasty on the PS3, and with the HD-DVD format almost dead now, the PS3 with it’s Blu-Ray player might be a worthwhile purchase… maybe
