So, everyone knows a primary sku launch ps3 was $600. Now, I got my wii in janurary of 07. Here's what I got for the price of one ps3 (roughly):
wii + wii sports + nunchuk + wii remote = $250
zelda + sonic and the secret rings + rayman raving rabbids + elebits (all games purchased between january and march 07)= $200
2nd wii remote + 2nd nuchuk + classic controller = $80
then eb had a sale over the summer, trade in any 2 used wii games, get one new wii game free....
so, i did a fire sale and picked up trauma center and paper mario = $0
I picked up a launch copy of mario galaxy but did so at toysrus. the store had a deal where people who bought launch copies of the game would get a $25 gift card = $50
then, around thanksgiving (after only being out 6 weeks), best buy had a week long sale where power pros baseball dropped from $40 to $20 = $20
zack and wiki dropped from $40 to $30 at toys r us. Using my gift card, i got the game for $5
250 + 200 + 80 + 50 + 20 + 5 = $605 dollars.
Anyone else got a money saving tale to tell
(note: including wii sports, that's 6 third party games, to 4 first party games)
