There's a listing on eBay for a Nintendo Wii which is going for $10,000 on Buy It Now. You're probably wondering if this Nintendo Wii is encrusted in diamonds, but it turns out thats not it. The special part of the listing is that a man dressed in a Santa Clause Suit will come to your door and deliver the Nintendo Wii himself on Christmas day.
Yeah, it sounds already pretty ridiculous. If you thought no one would bid on it, think again. The bidding is already at $4000 and climbing. Sounds like some rich parents have a great idea of surprisingly their kids with a Wii.
It turns out that the Japanese have another feature that the rest of the world is lacking. It is the ability to give virtual console gifts, which you can send your friend your favorite NES game that nobody liked but you!
The Virtual Console gift giving system is smart enough to know if the recipient already has the game so you won't be facing those problems when you try to send Super Mario Bros. The present arrives in a gift wrapped envelope which is pretty awesome.
Nintendo says they will roll this out for the holidays to the rest of the world so hang tight!
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.
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.
Here's a very interesting piece from ClevelandLeader.com. They say that the Nintendo is being used a tool to help stroke victims. We've all been hearing all the comotion about using the Nintedo Wii for all sorts of uses, but this one is quite interesting.
Doctors say that playing the Nintedo Wii helps rewire the brain after damage. What usually happens in a stroke is that a blood clot damages your brain which causes many abnormalities in behavior. However, the brain is really great at fixing itself so it does. It is important to keep the mind engaged and that's where the Nintedo Wii comes in.
It will intersting to see in the future where the Nintedo Wii Fit comes out. It will probably have even more crazy applications. I'm quite excited about the potential of the Wii and look forward to it.
Keep playing the Wii. Peace out from Wii for Sale.
