Game Gurus: Need help finding a Wii+Fit Bundle

Buying a graduation gift and need soon. I'm not much of a gamer and haven't bought a game console since.. N64?

Can someone who knows the pricing help me look for one? I'm looking for the Wii console and fit bundle. More items for the price is welcomed.. looking to spend about $300-400.

Any help is much appreciated!

So far, I'm looking at this

with 8% cashback.

I need it by the 21st and this seller is in the bay area so I can most likely pick it up.

I think the Wii Fit is in stock, and not hard to find anymore. If you have a Costco or Sam's Club membership, I think it's cheaper there.

Have you checked craigslist? Pretty sure I saw someone selling a Wii with Wii Fit as a bundle for around $300.

that ebay link confused the hell out of me. it looks like they are just selling the wii and wii fit packages together.

ill probably try my local costco this week and see if it's cheaper buying from amazon or not.. no tax seems to make the deal unless i go used.. which i dont want to since it's a gift.

Did a bit more research and looks like you can't get the Wii for less than $250 right now. Best deal is probably going to be the Amazon deal or Rau's employee discount but not by much I don't think. I'd rather not go through the hassle of bothering him for a measly 10 bucks. Thanks for all the advice!

Btw, the Fry's deal is $250 with 3 games that are terrible from the reviews I read AND do not buy from ebay.. there are a ton of people that bought a load of them that thought it would still be low on supply and high on demand and now they're trying to make their money back. Hence the tricky titles of +40 games etc when in reality the games are just standard when purchasing the Wii and Wii fit..

I had no idea the Wii could hold it's value so well.. kinda like Apple products. Demand I guess?

yeah the included games are crap, hence why they usually include them. And right now, craigslisters are trying to get rid of their wiis- whats stupid is they're overpricing them (used and unnecessary added equipment).

Anyways, good luck with the hunt jondl

IDK if its exactly the Wii holding its value or more Nintendo only supplying so much at a time. That's the reason nobody could get one brand new from a store for awhile.
