[QUOTE="hicksrn"]My wife and I decided that we wanted to try the Wii "experience". The great web site further sold us on the system. I had expected it might be a little tough but had no idea what it was truly like out there. I have been given so many stories by so many "informed" employees of the usual retail suspects that I don't even know what to do. To make it even worse, Nintendo seems to just be plugging along on their web site as if nothing is wrong with no mention of the absolute lack of Wiis available. I have looked for several days now and THERE ARE NO WIIs unless you pay an extortion price well above $400 for a system that retails at $250. That is just something I am not willing to do. After two or more weeks now I have been call and combing local stores with no luck at all. I can just about expect a different story from every employee of Target, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc. I talk to. Nintendo needs to wake up and admit that there is an issue with supply and post some sort of information on schedule. Its not fair to the consumer to be treated as non existent. Nintendo should keep in mind that it is those customers that will provide future sales and at this point we're rethinking our whole desire to have one. I mean look at it from this end point of view, here is a company that has this whiz bang web site with many many examples to show just how fun the Wii is, and the consumer is left saying "hey, I want that" but in the end its just not to be for unknown reasons which no one can, or is willing to provide. I hope the situation changes, but as not a sole seems to be truly informed on the issue I am probably expecting too much. Maybe some kind hearted Gamespot editor will read this and fill us in, maybe they know what's going on. Finally, shame on Gamestop for selling a preorder of the Wii for $474.00, what is up with that?

Shame on Gamespot?? Shame on you for not being able to do simple math!!!
Game spot bundles include"
2 games..normal price 49.99 = 99.98
Wii System = 250.00 (for arguement sake)
Wii Play w/controller = 49.99 (gamestop price)
Wii Memory SD 1.0GB = 29.99
Extra Nunchuck = 19.99
Wii Charger station = 34.99
Grand total = $ 484.94 before tax
Gamestop price = $474.93 before tax
You save = $10.01
Then you have shipping and handling
So..OP..plz tell me where Gamestop has to be ashamed of them selves for the price on there bundles??
And if you don't want everything in the bundle? Then you're paying for stuff you're not going to use.
