Got this from the latest Kmart catalogue (received today in my mailbox). Sale is from Thursday 13 November to Wednesday 19 November, and their website is not yet updated to this deal. I am too lazy to scan it so here is the photo.

Wii Console Bundle — $384
Save $142 if purchased separately. Must be in the same transaction.
Updated: Kmart has just updated their site with the latest catalogue. Link updated.
Wii Sports and Wii Music
I mean Big Beach Sports and Wii Music, are they good?
Wii Music seems to be aimed at kids more than adults. The Wiki lists ratings for it anywhere between 30% to 80% out of 100. Some parts of the game (drums) use the Balance Board as found in Wii Fit. Not sure if you can get that by itself or must get it via Wii Fit, but thats another $120 or so.
I think if Wii Music was a better game then it might have been a clincher for me.
My 2c.
@AntMan76: Thanks for the info. I had a search of the two games, looks that none of them has a good review. Actually, there is a Wii bundle for sale at Toys R Us:
Wii + Wii Sports (1 wiimote and 1 nunchuck, you know the deal)
1 additional Wiimote
1 additional Nunchuck
Mario Kart (with steering wheel)
1 additional steering wheel
$25 worth of coupons for games
for $499
I think this may be better.
If you don't like the games, sell it on ebay. Then use the money to buy a better game. Don't trade on EB, they underpriced your games so much.
I did that and was pleased I got to sell 2 free games that came with my Wii for total of $85. :)
Good idea. How do you think of the bundle from Toys R Us?
If you're planning on re-selling at eBay, BigW is much better. Toys R Us is only the Mario Kart which would probably sells about $60 on eBay.. the extra wiimote & nunchuck is about $70 regular price.
BigW has more games to sell and I think you could atleast get $80-$100 back from selling it on eBay.
Thanks for the inputs
Do you guys think K-Mart would have enought stock till next Wednesday???????????????????????
I guess no.
BIG W is cheaper at $382 which includes Wii console, Wii sports, Wii remote, Wii Nunchuck, Wii Music annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Wii DeBlob.
The have discounted the price to beat Kmart so price is even cheaper than they have advertised on today's BIG W brochure!
Gotta love retailer competition! :)
That is good news, seems that they add Wii DeBlob into the bundle.
You gotta one ??
I'll go check in 30min
Let us know what you get. Thanks!
Got one bundle for $382. harhar
excite I am interested in the Toys R Us bundle for $499 but cannot seem to find it on their website. Do you have any info that might help me find this deal? Cheers
I suggest you go for the Kmart bundle or the BigW one (if they have Wii DeBlob included). You can easily sell the two games for at least $80, making the Wii less than $300.
bought one this morning from Kmart. Its actually $383.71 :)
At the same time Big W updated their deal :( no biggy.
I could have got a Wii with Wii sports for $230 (if packaged with a TV i bought) about a month ago… Had not interest in it then. Kicking myself ever since - even if I did'nt want it, could have made a profit on ebay :(
I went down to Kmart the day after this add was listed here on this forum. I don't get catalogues in the mail.
It was $384 like you said with everything. The Console pack with wii sports + Big Beach Sports + Wii Music
Then I remember that my friend works for kmart.
I used her discount card. I got all this for $348.33
Did I get a good deal or what?
Sounds good, anyone know about the two games included?
