well it has bluetooth (or was it something else? sorry if wrong). motion sensing, a speaker, light reading thing, speedometer or something, tilt sensor. very complicated controller. nunchuck also has a few of those. i dont see why 360 controllers WIRED should cost 40. wired should still be 25-30 at most.

when you think about the $60 combo, it sounds ridiculous, but the wiimote by itself is ok imo. maybe lower the nunchuck price or make bundles.

it should be bundeled at fifty. it'd make the 360 controllers look rediculous :P but the classic should only be 10. it doesnt have any motion or anything and requires the wii mote :(

The price is outrageous, and they should at least lower classic and nunchuck.

Also, the movie with Adam Sandler is called Click, lol.

Ok so they're a little overpriced but not by much. A wii remote should cost like $30.00 and the price 4 the nunchuck is fine by me.

They're priced the way thay are because nintendo can. Odviously they could sell them togetherin a package4 like $20.00 and still make money, but if they can get more money out of you they will. Just like wii games. They could sell those 4 like $20.00, but they don't!

10 parts not adding the manufactoring cost, shipping etc.

Also get wiiplay it's a wiimote and ten dollar set of games. The prices are fine for the two controlllers.

You should be enraged at what Microsoft and Sony charge for their last gen controllers.

How is it overpriced when both the wii remote and nunchuk together is only $10 more than a wireless PS3 or 360 controller? That extra $10 goes towards the extra features that the Wii controls have.

Well in Canada.. Its $50 for the Wii Remote, and it's $30 for the Nunchuck. VC controller is $25. So i've spent $210 on controllers. OWCH. But I did get Wii play that came with a controller, so thats a bonus.

The Wiimote is at a fair price, but I think Nintendo could do to lower the price on nunchuk and classic controllers.

They should make the the Wiimote $35 or $30. As for the nunchuck it should be $10 because compared to the Wiimote its nothing.

nah those are some tough controllers...my second one has been through a moron who decided to not put on the wii strap and threw it to the ground (basement so its concrete) and someone also hit it on the ceiling when it was in the attic because the ceiling was slightly slanted down. It still works great so I'd say worth every bit of the money...that and they are some complicated controllers.
