I just looked on E-bay and notice the Wii fit is selling close to £100 with one seller also charging £25 for P&P – Thats close to the cost of an actual Wii.
There are loads going for the same sort of price, why are people paying sill money for these things, I’ve just been to Argos, there in stock, I went to HMV and there also in stock there too and there all priced at the £69.99 RRP.
So why do people pay over the odds on E-bay when they could pay up to £60 less in the shops, and yes these shops do have stock when I checked today, the 25th of April 2008
The only reason we didn’t buy one was because I think it’s stupid you pay so much money and then you have to put batteries in like you do with the Wii remote, HMV do however over a USB battery pack that plugs into the Wii at an extra cost of something like £13 (But means you don’t have to keep pumping them with more costly batteries).
I think we can wait a little longer until the cost comes down some more.
If anyone reads this I suggest you check with your local retailers first, rather than joining the E-bay rip-off.

Well there still going for crazy money on E-bay.
I also notice such games as Brain Academy is going for £20 to £25, but in shops you can buy it for as low £14.
Crazy people
ASDA finally got Wii Play with the remote back in stock, although there were only about 3 left when we asked.
Despite waiting a little longer we decided to bite the bullet, so went to comet (or was it curry’s, I always get those two mixed up), and some lady just walked out with the last one.
We then went to HMV and apparently there last one sold yesterday.
Apparently ASDA should be getting some in on Saturday, we were advised to call back then to check.
I guess that will teach me for taunting at those people paying silly money for them. I should of just bought 10 of them and resold them on E-bay when I had the chance. Ohh well I’d still rather wait a week and then get one at normal price than the inflated one on E-Bay.
