Forums - Nintendo - Wii price raise confirmed!

CDiablo on 28 September 2008

I was at my local Gamecrazy (a subsidary of Hollywood Video) and saw a sign say saying  Wii in stock last Sunday, I didnt think much of it but when renting videos last night I saw a sign at the register saying Wii's in stock at Gamecrazy.......$299.99. Supply constrain over? Wii price raise confirmed?



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

That or retailers just trying to gip customers, put a sign outside telling people not to buy a Wii from there.

Price rise that is a bad move and obviously the retailers are cashing in by selling the Wii at a premium and ripping off consumers.

Nope. GameCrazy just wants to gouge you. They probably throw in 5 free rentals or something. Always have to read the fine print with them. Have you noticed that Hollywood charges you a quarter on top of your rental when you get a game or a Blu-Ray movie....as part of insurance. Hmmm...hasn't that always been figured into the price of software anyway?
