$150 Wii at Walmart

Walmart offering $50 gift card with Wii purchase

Sad that you missed all the Black Friday sales? Walmart wants to take advantage of that feeling of being left out, with a series of December sales and price drops. The most exciting offer: for one week (from December 5 -12), every Wii will come with a $50 gift card, effectively dropping the price to a ridiculous $150.

The Nintendo Wii Console includes:

Nintendo Wii console
One Nintendo Wii Remote
One Nintendo Wii Nunchuk
Nintendo Wii Sports Game Disc (5 games: Baseball, Tennis, Golf, Bowling and Boxing)
Power cord
Sensor bar
Standard AV composite cable

Same here. To replace the one that was stolen this summer. :mad:

Too bad they still won't have a TV to play it on.

The Wii will still cost $199, but you get a $50 gift card.

You can spend that $50 on an extra controller and nunchuck.

I suspect Walmart "over purchased" on WII units and after they didn't sell enough last week they now need to fire sale the rest or risk having a $99 sale in January.

The Wii has 480p graphics. That's as good as a progressive scan DVD player and requires the component video cable.
