Press Junketeer  Posts: 461 Joined: 29 Jun 2009    | They have gone completely off the rails. Off their tree. Absolutely bat-shit bonkers. no WAY can they sell Wii's for that much money. Wii bath buddy. What. In. Fucks. Name. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 993 Joined: 8 Jun 2009  | Uh, I'm unfamiliar with current market pricing. Is this out of their minds in a good way or out of their minds in a "no way I'm paying that" way? Ah, right. Its the latter I see. PS. Yes, I can see the problem with selling a rubber duck with a game. Disaster in the making, anyone? |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 799 Joined: 3 Mar 2009  | I bet someone hacked Gamestop. No way that's really what they're selling it for. |

Or a pirate tattoo. Or a water gun! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1520 Joined: 1 May 2009   | you seriously thought they were sane... (except maybe a few) |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 682 Joined: 12 Mar 2009  | why the heck would they sell a summer fun pack if you decide to stop playing your wii and go outside for once then you won't buy games. Just genius, honestly that is funny as hell next time i go to my local gamestop i'm going to ask why the heck they put that on there. |

No, THIS IS GAMESTOP!!!!! Sorry, had to do that. But yeah, it's pretty damn silly. I agree, a Darwin Award nomination is in order for those who buy the package. What a stupid idea. Even if you do get a rubber ducky for free :) |

Madness? THIS IS GAMESTOP! Seriously though, they can't expect to sell Wii's at that price, it's highway robbery. And who doesn't already have a rubber duck anyway? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1194 Joined: 24 Apr 2008    | I refuse to acknowledge that this is is true, or in fact, even remotely exists.
I don't... :( |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2638 Joined: 2 Aug 2008    | Wow. I've always put off the purchase of a Wii, but when they package the rubber ducky with it for so cheap, I can't not buy it. |
Nobel Laureate  Posts: 16064 Joined: 26 Dec 2008  | Sweet, a ducky! Is the outrage at the pricing? |
Paperboy  Posts: 34 Joined: 3 Sep 2008   | Wow, Im not from America but I Have to say, thats a damn overpriced console there, they sell for around £189 in England, which I still think is too much for what you get Oh well xD |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1286 Joined: 7 Nov 2007   |
Isn't £189 around $300 US? |

Since I was not aware that the Wii had seen price cuts, my initial outrage was at the rubber duck and pirate tattoo. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1303 Joined: 19 Jun 2008    | This...is...BRILLIANT! Think about it, if kids don't won't a $250 game console, then what will make them want it is a dime-store rubber duck or water pistol! |

Useful thing about Google: Type in 189 pounds into USD |
Muckraker  Posts: 315 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | Hmmmmmm. I cannot wait for Nintendo to actually see this. Gamestop have finally fallen off the wagon. Whackos. Absolute Whackos. |

Ah-ha. I was not aware if the price had been jacked up or something. The ducky is awesome though. |

GTFO NOOB!! ... sorry, but if you don't have a rubber ducky than your parents don't love you. Thats the law of the land. Back on topic, I wonder if anyone actually bought any of those things yet? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1438 Joined: 19 Jun 2008  | Wow, holy crap. I am so glad that gamestop hasn't invaded my country or state yet. Screw you, gamestop (and any other american who thinks this is an appropriate way for a company to behave). |
Senior Editor  Posts: 2280 Joined: 9 Jan 2007    | $249.99 is what a Wii costs, so Gamestop isn't doing anything to the price. I will admit, though, that the bundles are a little...odd. I mean, are you supposed to be taking your Wii in the tub with you? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1592 Joined: 9 Jul 2008  | Um, what? Thats is why I am glad I live in the UK, we don't get Gamestop. |

Master Archivist  Posts: 9111 Joined: 10 Mar 2009 | Its seems like all these bundles are suggesting that you take your Wii into the bathtub or pool with you. They're planning on killing everyone! :O Oh noes!! |

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that this would be accepted, by any court, as evidence that nobody working at Gamestop is entirely sane.
