2 Wii controllers for $60
4000 Wii points for $30

You get the idea...I never see the Wii accessories go on sale...this seems HOT!



Seems like a decent deal! Anyone know if it's good at B&M stores too to save on shipping?


I think there is 20% off Babies R us coupon floating. Toys R US allows the coupon from babies R US. I don't know if it can be used for this or not? I would jump on it since I recently purchased Wii.

We love it.


EDIT: Nevermind. I'm a 'tard.


Add two and the second one will show as 50% off.


no free s/h and tax kills the deal unless you're buying a ton of controllers.

Ok...then where is the better deal for two controllers? I personally have never seen a Wii controller for less than list price.

Where could I find this coupon?

New remotes can be had on eBay for $30 after shipping if you keep checking the newly listed Buy It Now listings. Cheapest I saw was $27.

That said, I still think this is a hot deal, because it's the first I've seen anywhere of retail having Wii stuff discounted. If you just want to get some controllers from a retail place without worrying about eBay, this is the best deal right now.


FYI- This is for ALL video game accessories on ALL platforms not just the WII


Is this available in store too?


Would have been nice if Wii Play was still available... looks like the resellers picked up everything...


This is available in store!

Just got back from my local toys r us - both deals...
buy 1 video game accessory and get 50% off a second -and- buy 2 video games get 3rd free
...are available.

Just got two wiimotes for our new wii for @$60 + tax.

Thanks, OP!


TY OP. I needed 2 more nunchucks. Maybe some1 can answer this for me. If i wanna play a gamecube game on my wii, what type of controller do i need?


I would get the wireless WaveBirds. That way the whole system is wireless, not just the Wii controllers. They work great and we actually play more GC games on our than Wii games.

I was wrong. The others have answered your question correctly....


I was about to get the 4000 wii points , but $5 in shipping pretty much kills the deal
damn


Also, you can purchase the wireless GameCube controller from GameStop and it works just as well without any of the wires. You just connect the infrered reciever to the top of the Wii. HTH

You need to use the "Classic" controller, which means you can buy the Wii "Classic" controller or you can buy a Gamecube controller.

This is incorrect... Classic controllers can only be used for Virtual Console games. You will need a Gamecube controller to play Gamecube games. As a sidenote, Gamecube controllers can also be used to play Virtual Console games.

Like str82ebay, I would also recommend the Wavebird. They are hard to find retail now and selling at a premium on eBay, but I would check your local GameStop where they go for $17.99 used.


Before you jump into a wavebird, check out the new thrustmaster. Not out yet, will be soon.

Has anyone gotten this to work in store? My B&M had no idea what I was talking about. I didn't want to risk ringing anything up. Does it come off automatically?


Confirmed and scored big at Woburn,MA location. Had signs posted. All Wii games were B2G1 Free. Plenty of everything left (Wii Play, Wiimotes, Nunchucks)


Deal active at my TRU

For anyone considering buying 2 Wiimotes for $59.98+tax, try this instead:

Buy:
Wii Play bundle x3
$99.98+tax total

Now you've got 3 Wiimotes and 3 copies of Wii Play. Now either

- Keep 1 copy to play (it's a fun collection) and trade the other two in to GameStop for $24 credit
or
- Trade all 3 in to GameStop for $39.60 credit

If you have a GameStop Edge card, or other games to trade in, you can get even more bonus credit. Or you can do craigslist, eBay, game trading site, etc.


Just checked the Monrovia, CA Toys R Us, no deal... the guy told me it was web only. =(


Both available in my store, shelves fully stocked and no one seemed aware of the sale.
Also a scratch-n-win game by the cash register gave 10% off purchase.
Bought controllers for three families, games for two and Wii points for me.


Fontana, CA had the deals but there were no Wiimotes. They had plenty of WiiPlay with Remotes but rang up as $49.99 normal price.


What Risk? If it doesn't ring up right you say "I thought it was on sale I don't want it" You have a lot to learn young fatwalleter

Deal works at B&M (no shipping)! (Colorado) Got 2 more wii motes and 2 more nunchuks. Thinking about the Wii points now!! Thanks for posting.


this deal has officially been made better

$5 off $25 coupon (B&M only)

edit - my bad, the coupon says it excludes video game hardware and software...but it doesn't hurt to try

Yup you just nailed yourself on the head. This would be a nice eBay ad on FW, "For every hot deal you found at Fatwallet, we can do better at eBay"


Worked for me in the store. It must have been in the computer system. Bought a nunchuck and 2000 point card for $31 including tax. Not bad.

Thanks OP


Did this at my local TRU today:

2x Wiimotes
1x Classic Controller
1x Nunchuk

Total: $89.96 (no tax in Alaska!)

Thanks OP!


This went out in an email from TRU yesterday, so it is official and is chain wide.

I don't know why people ever expect any retail worker in any store to ever know what is going on in their store.

There are two separate deals:

Buy 1 accessory, Get 1 50% off
Buy 2 games, get 1 free

Wii Play is considered a game.

Items may ring up full price at first.

If it doesn't ring right ask the cashier to hit total.

Wii play (game only) sells for ~$15 on eBay, so if you bought 3 Wii Plays for $100 and ebayed the games you could get 3 Wiimotes for $55. That puts the 2 for $60 deal to shame.

It's amazing how stupid and lazy Fatwallet has collectively become in the last year.


dead deal


Not dead. Just got back from my local B&M and there were still tons of wiimotes and nunchucks. Great game selection too. Sale runs through 7:00 pm tonight.


Deal is expired online! Even the buy 2 games and get 1 free.

How does a $55 put a $60 to shame?

Your thinking like a lamer, who will never be successful in business. Firstly, chances of someone needing 3 of these are probably not all that great....so maybe someone picks up some as gifts. Who wants to be a lamer and give the will play box withouth the games? Second of all, how much is your time worth? Are you willing to list, pack, and ship 3 items to save $5....thats just $1.33 per item? And thats assuming you get the $15 a game after fees. I can think of other more profitable items to sell that will net me more than $1.33 each.


The poster was saying 3 for $55 is way better than 2 for $60. I just did this and got 2 wii plays with the remotes and another $49 for free(metroid). each wiimote being $33 - $15(that is after fees they are selling for about $18). Makes the wiimotes $18 each that makes 2 wiimotes $36. That is a savings of $24 not $1.33. TOo me that is worth it. Plus I got Metroid a $50 game for $33.

Unfortunately, the deal ended this past weekend; at least at the store I visited (San Mateo, CA).
