Nintendo Wii price plummets below £100

RRP cut, retailers slash it further




The price of the Nintendo Wii plunged today, with some retailers pushing the price of a bundle under the £100 mark.
With Nintendo's next console sure to hit shelves in 2012, the price-cut was inevitable. It was reported earlier this month that from 20 May, new bundles would be available and £50 would be slashed from the current Wii Sports Resort pack, lowering it to £129.




However, retailers today pushed that figure even lower, with Game, Gamestation and Amazon, all offering the bundle for £99.99. The new Mario Kart bundle is also up for grabs at the same price.
Elsewhere, Tesco lists the bundles at £109, HMV has them up for £115, while Play.com and ShopTo are more conservatively priced closer to £120.
It appears the time has come for Nintendo's "legacy console" to take a bow, so focus can fully switch to the Wii 2. An official announcement on that, though, is expected at next week's E3. ®

the secondhand market is about to crash big style, which means I should be able to pick one up around £50 i reckon.

Not wrong Malty, Gamestation near me are doing the mario special edition for £79.99!

All boxed and spanking.

there's a few games I haven't played, like smg2 that i'd like to get, but wasn't going to fork out £150 to do it.

the S/H market for all the consoles seems dead, apart from the 3DS and DSi XL

I have been doing some ebay research now I'm jobless and I saw a PS3 slim (160gig) with about 10 original games, 2 mics, 3 guitars, drums etc and it only just got a bid at its start price of 160.

Its fucking annoying though, I've had a bare console here I have been meaning to get a sensor and remote for a flog and now its hardly worth bothering.

Same here mate for the cost of getting a sensor and nunchuck i'd end up getting £30 for the console not worth it IMHO
