Wii for Sale

If you're living in America and you think you have it bad, think again because the folks over in the UK are facing a crazy shortage. A good way to judge a shortage is to see how many people buying from eBay and what the prices are going for. It turns out the prices are over $650 when converted into US dollars. The worst America as seen is about $500.

This means people are spending more on the Nintendo Wii than they would if they purchased a brand new top of the line Sony Playstation 3. That's incredible and also means that the Nintendo Wii is really different than the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.

It really seems like Nintendo Wii hit a grand slam, but they may be losing customers due to the shortage. Lets hope Nintendo gets their act together soon so everyone gets to enjoy the Nintendo Wii. 

The situation around the Nintendo Wii is getting crazier by the day, which means it'll just be that much harder to find the Wii for sale at the regular price. The prices on eBay have risen over $200 on some listings, which only took 2 weeks. Peak holiday shopping season happens in the middle of December which means we should be seeing even higher prices soon.

The Thanksgiving week had Nintendo sell over 350,000 units in literally hours, which means there are still thousands of people still looking for the Nintendo Wii for sale. This is a big problem and its not getting any better. The best advice is to go ahead and buy it now before it gets too late.

Black Friday is around the corner which means the holidays is very near. This means people will  be spending tons of money on gifts for just about everybody. For us Wii fans, we care about any deals related to the Nintendo Wii. There just happens to be a few.

Circuit City is holding a pretty awesome deal on Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. They will be selling it for only $35 compared to the retail price of $50. This is a huge discount for such a popular game. This game has been so highly reviewed that it is currently ranked the best game ever above Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Toys R Us is also having a sale on games where if you buy 2, you get the third one free and it even works on preorders. Get your wallets out because it's time to save some money by spending!

It's finally been 1 year for the Nintendo Wii and what a year it has been. Thanks to Wii's broad appeal to just about everybody including kids and retired folks. Nintendo has one of these good problems where they can't even stock enough for everyone. This is actually a big problem because these other people may other consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.

It all started when Nintendo announcd the Nintendo Revolution. It seemed like a normal name for the next console from Nintendo. But what was revolutionary about it? We didn't know until Nintendo changed the name to Wii. Then we found about the unique controls and games.

The rest is history beacuse it has gone to sell more th an 14 million consoles around the world. People are desparate for these consoles right and they should be.

If you don't know, Wii Ware will be coming to the Wii soon. It is a way for software developers to create new games for the Wii that are downloadable. This is similar to the Virtual Console, but Wii Ware games are new ones that didn't come out with any console.

Recent news on the Wii Ware states that the maximum size of each of these games will be 40 MB. This is a little more than what we've seen for Virtual Console games which top out at 32 MB.

There are already plenty of titles coming out already which include 35 from Nintendo and 65 from third parties. Nintendo will only let a developer publish 1 game a month.

A big problem for people will be storying all these games now. The Wii only comes with 512 MB onboard storage. You can try using a bunch of SD cards, but it is still a hassle. Maybe a harddrive will come out soon!

 The Consumerist is a blog that tries to keep people aware of the bad business practices companies like to pull on its customers. A recent story is about Best Buy trying to deceive customers into thinking there is no stock on the floor. However, there are certain Best Buy employees walking around spotting people interested in Wii products.

If they look like they are buying Wii games and accesories, they will say they may have one Wii in the back and say it's the very last one. Very deceptive! Of course, this is still a rumour.

The person responsible for reporting this item said that they heard manager type people saying it is a sales technique to sell more. It's like they are picking and choosing customers to give it to.

MSN's dating column recently published an article where they gathered a group of so called "experts" in the fields of psychology and gaming to basically judge and stereotype the owners of each. It concluded that the people who buy the Nintendo Wii are the fun guys.

This is opposed to the PS3 and XBOX 360 owners who are probably spending all their time in front of their TV until they pass out. Don't try to deny it! They also said that Wii owners are selfish about their passion and are good with money. Well... it is the cheapest console, but selfish about their passion? Hmmm. I'll have to think about that some more.

They did admit in the end that it was still a stereotype and wasn't true for all. Well, I guess that's nice. Sounds like a waste of money ot me.

New Nintendo Wii accessories are coming out Wii. It certaintly helps that Wii has become extremely popular similar to the ipod craze. One new accessory is the small retractable sensor bar. I'm guessing people are bringing their Wiis to other people's houses and it would be more convenient for a smaller one that retracts.

The device is made by Talismoon who also makes swappable Wii slot gates and ninja themed replacement shells. It costs $25 and takes up very little space as the sensors have become two tiny pieces instead of one big one. Definitely check this one out if you carry your Wii around a lot or hate the big sensor bar that comes with the Nintendo Wii.
