too many wii cult readers on this thread. all i did was ask a simple question, and i get bombarded with red. stop jumping up and down on your wii fit and get a life fanboys.

Please show me where you can get the Fit for less than retail. Thanks

you can't. but you know why? because we all give into this Nintendo generated hype on their products. after all this time they can't produce a Wii Fit to meet demands? and how long did it take for them to produce the Wii system to meet demands?

it is all BS. it is Nintendo generated to produce greater demand. and all these threads do is add to it and prolong it.

nintendo can manufacture to meet demand and they actually do....they just don't release it to us to generate hype.

Soooo its capitalism? Hang on my iPhone is ringing.

it's just me calling to sell you some diamonds

It's not the fanboys....


I'll give you another moment to really think hard....

 

The next time you want to know how much something is selling for on a particular site......

 

 


...go to that site look for yourself. da-da-da dum!!! (dramatic roll from cheesy 50's mystery)

In the future, please don't act like a waste of skin.

"waste of skin" is my mom's nickname for me!

I totally agree. MS and Sony can make tons of systems and were able to overcome the "demand" after about 6 months of being out. Nintendo is just slowly putting out systems and wii fits to keep the "hype" going over this POS system. The nintendo nazis withholding your systems probably have some secret warehouse with 40 million consoles and 25 million wii fits, they just ship out so many per month to make out like there isnt enough to keep you suckers buying the 2006 model gamecube with bigger discs and gimmick remote!

PS in advance thanks for the red losers.

Right, b/c building or leasing a huge warehouse would cost them nothing, let alone shipping consoles through an extra step to get there before their final destination. I'm sure that sort of strategy is part of every big corporation's warehouse management and capital use plan - drive up internal costs as high as possible on the console, which the company usually loses money on anyway, in the hopes that they'll create artifical demand. In fact, why don't they just make all the consoles they think they could sell over the next 5 years RIGHT NOW...at today's prices. Heck with taking advantage of lowering commodity costs over time. Gotta take out loans to pay for all the parts, do it! Need to lease more warehouse space and pay extra trucking charges - why not? That all makes perfect financial sense, plus the value of all those wii consoles collecting dust on the shelves from over-production is just priceless!

Not sure why people crap all over Nintendo. For a "crappy", "gimmicky" system, it's leading sales over ps3 and x360, so it would seem like they must be getting to the stores somehow.

Yep, we're the suckers...
How many Wii's overheat or get a "Red Ring of Death" like x360?
How many Wii's cost $400 and aren't compatible with gamecube, like the current version PS3's?

Agree completely!!

Sorry but a "Back in stock" tread for an item at retail price does not belong in hot deal.
Granted that the Fit is sought after by many and that you can find it on eBay for more than what it is worth, it still does not warrant it.
I understand that some people feel the need to tell others highly about sought after retail goods and FW does no have a misc forum but come on, really?

Yep I actually bought one 2 wks ago at my local Target for 96 with tax, and then sold it on craigslist for 120 as I knew it will be Amazon.
Bought this one for 89. free ship no tax. Will use the profit to buy a game or something.

Which is probably why it's in the "Deal Discussion" forum . . .

No I report all wii in stock threads as not hot deals and the mods move them to the PROPER areas. Im sure others report them as well.
