LTTP: I got a Wii

While watching coverage of E3 2006, I remember being skeptical of the Wii.  I also thought a black one would look better than the white one they were showing off then.  I thought I'd eventually pick one up and I honestly didn't think it would take this long.  Fast forward nearly four years later, and Sunday they finally released the black Wii with not only Wii Sports, but Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Motion Plus for $200.  I figured I'd give myself a week to think about it, but yesterday I found a deal that made me jump the gun.  Target was offering 15% off any order, in effect making the Wii $170, so I finally bought one and it should arrive some around May 19th.
 
I added Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and LOZ: Twilight Princess to my Gamefly queue and started checking prices for some games I wanted, as well as a second Wii Remote/Motion Plus bundle and an additional nunchuk (for the girlfriend).  The best deal I found was at Gamestop (with a 25% off orders $100+):
 

  • Boom Blox Bash Party                        $22.49   (29.99 - 7.50)
  • No More Heroes 2                               $22.49   (29.99 - 7.50)
  • Wii Remote/Motion Plus bundle       $41.24   (54.99 - 13.75)
  • Wii nunchuk                                          $14.99   (19.99 - 5.00)
                                                                        --------------------------------
                                                                      $101.21   ($33.75 savings)
 
I'm waiting for my copy of Red Dead Redemption to ship so I can put the $20 gaming credit from that toward Super Mario Galaxy 2 (making that $29.99) and getting another $20 gaming credit from that.  Hmmm ... 6 new games in the next 2 weeks ... I might need some time off of work ...
