Planning to buy a Nintendo Wii? Planning to save some cash and buy a Nintendo Wii bundle which would include the unit and a packaged software title? The bundles for the Xbox 360 (with no less than Halo 3 and Fable 2 as bonus games) and the numerous bundles for the Sony Playstation 3 are surely extremely enticing, but you want a Nintendo Wii and you want a Nintendo Wii bundle.
Well, the bad news is that there are currently no Nintendo Wii bundles.
Is this a selling oversight - if not a total mistake - on the part of Nintendo? Bundles, after all, are proved to turbo-charge sales of consoles. So why has not Nintendo prepared a Wii bundle? The answer is quite simple: the first Nintendo Wii package is already a 'bundle'. Indeed, when you get a Nintendo Wii, you won't only get the console and the necessary peripherals such as the Wiimote, the sensor, the power supply unit ( PSU ) and the suitable wires, you may also get a bonus game which you can never purchase anywhere else. This title is Wii Sports, and it is one of the finest games available for the system to date.
Your best chance is to hope for the 3rd party bundles prepared by retail conglomerates. Walmart, for example, has an offer for a Wii bundle which permits the purchaser to get the console, then choose any game he wants to take home with him. Further to this, the purchaser may then choose among a selection of bonus games prepared by the store, and ultimately, choose a Wii accessory that they will be able to incorporate into the bundle.
Amazon has a similar offer for the Nintendo Wii bundled with the Wii Fit and its peripheral, the balance board. The price for this makeshift Wii bundle is $339.99 as of this writing.
These offers are not bad at all, considering the Nintendo Wii currently carries an SRP of $249.
