Wii remote controller

Hi all. Does anyone know where I can purchase a genuine Wii controller remote? BTW - I have looked on eBay and most of them do not look genuine to me. Thanks for your help.

Regards, Rick

    I purchased one from ebay a couple of years ago - it has been fine.

    I think the store was: http://myworld.ebay.com.au/states.electronics/

    It was far cheaper than any other price I could find as well.

    I purchased my extra controllers from eBay. They are definitely Genuine.

    The obvious things you get from non genuine controllers are that the sensors inside work very poorly and that it doesn't have the Nintendo logos or codes.

    These are exactly the same as my first controller. Great price compared to stores.

      The sensors in my non-genuine one do work and it does have Nintendo logos and codes. Came in a neat Nintendo box, but I'm very positive it's not legit, especially when you look at it closely.

        I have the wii controller that came with my wii console to compare to the controllers I purchased and they are identical. So they must be genuine, the listing even says so (i'm aware that some sellers don't tell the truth :))

    game.com.au currently has the best price of $48 with free delivery. i don't think anyone else (excluding eBay, but I am dubious if they are genuine) could do better so I placed an order.

    thanks for your responses.

      good deal. but you need to pay for nunchuck too. wiimote+nunchuck is around $20 at dealextreme. (although one of two I bought from there was dead, I'm still waiting for my refund)

    i was thinking of selling 2 spare remote and nunchucks for $60 on ebay
    they dont come with the silly latex wrapping (i got it when the wii first came out) but never used em
    good as new
