Forums - Nintendo - Wii Motion Plus $25 by itself. ouch Gamestop ad inside

radioioRobert on 05 June 2009

M+ is only $19.99. However, I just called Gamestop and confirmed they are charging an extra $5 above what Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Amazon, & ToysRUs are charging ($19.99). Raping poor innocent gamers wallets confirmed.

Do NOT buy this at GameStop.



BAM! There it is!

Definitely shows they want to push motion+ with the bundles, kinda like with Wii Play, why not get a game with your controller!



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

Wow! Gamestop does it again! Although I see a teeny bit of logic in that they want you to buy the games, not just the attachment...

Well, I'm certainly not buying this separately.

Why are they selling it $5 more than the other stores?

I hope it doesn't cost 25€ here in Europe. That would be an assault. The Euro is much more valuable than the US dollar now.
If it doesn't fit in the 15~20€ pricetag I'm sueing Nintendo!!!!

The only thing that pisses me of is Grand Slam Tennis Doesn't give us it bundled@!!!!

I'm assuming that extra $5 is the Gamestop tax. MSRP is actually $20, isn't it?

I wouldn't be surprised, although I'm not sure it's legal to do that.

 

That's what they did to Wii Wheels, and nobody called the cops.

That's right, I remember that. Wii Wheels were $5 cheaper at walmart than GS. dirty bastards!!!!

Oh well, really no reason not to buy the bundled ones anyways.

If you wait for more bundles, you can't play multiplayer WM+ games for a while. For example if you buy Grand Slam Tennis and Wii Sports Resort, you can only play two player mode in late July.

 

1. I only have two controllers anyways.

2. I'm not buying until WSR and since i know i'll get RS2, I'll just wait or buy off ebay for $10.

MSRP is manufacturers suggested retail price. If Gamestop wanted to sell the WM+ for 200$, they'd be legally able to. Feel sorry for the guys. They're getting squeezed by casual gamers buying at walmart, and hardcore gamers buying more and more downloadable games.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.
