thanks costanza

Thanks for the post - I was just planning to get Wii for this holiday season and perfect timing!.

Good timing for a good deal! In for one for the kids and wife for Xmas.

Any better bundles coming on BF?

Good one OP. Thanks.

I ordered it.. I actually wanted to wii board as well. hopefully that will lift me off the couch.

Here we go again.................

Maybe next week it will be PS3?

We wanted both the Wii and the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas this year, so this was a perfect fit for us. ...and Amazon is even selling the Wii Fit Plus for their discounted price of $89.99 instead of the MSRP of $99.99. I'm a little surprised they didn't bump the price back to MSRP when they started this sale - good for them!

I've been watching very carefully for Wii console deals over the last three weeks or so, and this is definitely the best that I've seen if you are considering getting the Wii Fit Plus anyway.

I just really care about games...

Haven't used it personally but have read its fun for the skiing/snowboarding games.

Great find, plus the free ship and no tax, at least here in Wisconsin. Anything without a tax on it is in WI is rare.

Great find OP. I was going to pick one up for Christmas and my wife also wanted the Wii Fit if I bought one. Was waiting for Black Friday deals to pick one up cheap but with the tax advantage and free shipping and not having to deal with the crowds with a possiblity of not getting one, I believe this to be the best choice.

Just to be clear, since this is a gift card, not future credit, it won't expire right? Since this deal is good until the 22nd, I think I'll give WalMart one more chance to offer the "buy wii, get $100gc" promo for this saturday before I jump on this.

In for 1 - thanks!

As this contain a gift card, it does not allow me to use my Amazon.com gift certificate balance towards purchasing the item.Any idea how to get around this.I have over $500 worth of Amazon.com credit.

Thx OP was looking for one for my son and me (couldnt wait he was old enough to start playing) and plus it will get me off the couch (maybe) and lose some tonage I am not about to "camp" outside WalMart to get pretty much the same deal and fight off the angry mob. + the $50 GC is a great present for my mother in law (and more than I gave her last year) green for me

I dont have one either but an additional controller and on the one day sites it is full of accessories for wii right now $0 and $5 shipping or so (battery charger, bat, tennis racket, nunchuck ect) Ive bought the latter

don't know if its ok to post for other websites but I always check dodtracker.com (1saleaday.com and woot.com ect) hope the info helps. after I check fw ofcourse

The way to get around it is to order the bundle using credit card first, then go to "where is my stuff", you'll see the system automatically split it into two orders, one for GC, the other for wii. Click on the wii bundle, you'll see "you have xxx in GC, click to apply" notice on top. You will be able to pay the entire Wii part by GC, but not the $50 GC though. That's what I did this morning.

I have been wanting a wii (incl sports) and balance board myself and have been checking prices for a while. With the drop in prices recently, I decided to wait till thanksgiving on the assumption that either the prices will drop further or a new model of wii will be out during holidays.

Here is why I will still buy this deal. If a new model comes or prices drop, I can always return my purchase to Amazon. I will even not open the package so I could return it for free shipping if prices drop or a new model comes.

But if that doesn't happen, then I don't want to loose this deal which I think is the best I have seen for a wii console (sports) + balance board. So go for it.

Looks like WalMart's got a similar combo deal now, but higher price: 299 + tax + shipping, includes $25 e-gift card.Here's the link

any news if Amazon is matching?
