I can see why the system cost such an outrageous amount, but why are the games $70 each? Is it perhaps a Canadian site, or just run by money grubbers?

Too much for a Wii. Especially since you can find Wii's on shelves now.

the whole point of that catalog is that your able to pay in payments. like when paying for a car over time, you end up paying alot more if you dont pay all upfront. im not sure if using that catalog counts for your credit, or if you can use it despite bad credit, but someone is using it; the thing has been around forever.

Wow, pretty ridiculous price. While Wiis do still sell out quickly, then can be tracked down pretty easily if you call around. Called 2 gamestops the other day, the one had em and sold out when I called later in the day, and the other one still had a few, so I had the guy put one on hold for me and I was able to pick it up. It was cool of him to do that, I don't think they normally do that, the other gamestop wouldn't let me.

Canadian site??? do you realize that the candian dollar is stronger than the american dollar right now so if anything if it was a canadian site it would be cheaper

It seems I posted too hastily, I looked up the Canadian dollar and it is worth like $1.03 US. I apologize. Now i thank everything that can be thanked that i live in the US because it seems we have it really cheap! :D
