Susan Arendt: $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?
There's also the limit of 2 per customer, which is fine until you realise you could get 2 with the duck, 2 with the tattoo...
This Nintendo Wii Summer Fun Bundle includes a Nintendo Wii and a free Water Gun. Water Gun style and color may vary. Available for online customers only while supplies last.
So, it may be a different color, or style or not there. If they run out of water guns first, will they stop selling the Wii's?
Seriously? What an odd marketing campaign, but I guess if it gets people to buy more wii's- Nah I can't be serious about this,but if that is a serious deal then it is a mixture of awesome and fail and makes me wonder if it'll go global...
Wii bath buddy bundle....? Sir I must ask WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TYPE IN THAT SEARCH ENGINE!? This makes me want to tell the good users here on the Escapist about when I bought my PS3 last year and a Crazy 360 fanboy working there refused to let me buy it.
Only one guy I ever talked to at gamestop was sane. Too bad I only got to talk to him twice...
No, it seems more like gamestop hate to me. Besides, did you see those bundles? Would you really buy a Wii just because you get a free rubber duck you could get for a dollar at walmart? What does that have to do with gaming anyway?
I must say I love your avatar though. In Soviet Russia Mudkip liek you!
I... I... I don't know what to think. I mean is it awesome or is it lame? Rubber duck but Wii. Squirt gun but Wii. I... I... ducky... SQUIRT GUN... WII... SQUIRT DUCK... WII... I... WII DUCKY... I AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! *head explodes*
To aid in the discussion, I just wanted to concur that we GS employees are insane. Completely out of our minds. Though after getting 10+ prank calls a day (none of them ever good enough to play along with), you would probably go insane too.
On a side note, in the Gamestop comp, Wii Fit Plus (Gameonly) is $0 preorder but when it shows the full price of the game with tax it comes to $543.25. The game with board is only $89. Only goes to further the bats*&t crazy that is GS
Fanusc101: Wait....I can get a Wii and a rubber ducky?
THIS IS MADNESS!
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? Edit: Damn Ninja'd
You might want to spoiler all that since you've quoted eleven people. Also, you can't blame people for reacting to an obvious joke, even if some people did't see it had been done already. Lighten up a bit, it's just joke, no need to get all angry about it.
Dude I work at a game stop and we lost our minds cause of idiot customers and either listento music or playing so many games i mean on slow days we just sit around and have a tournament of some game.

Madness? I'm pretty sure the company is actually called "Gamestop".
Actually, I was a bit confused at first, since I didn't see what the big deal was. Then I scrolled down the page and saw the Wii Bath Time Fun bundle. I cannot possibly see how that seemed like a good idea.
Beltom1066: Also, you can't blame people for reacting to an obvious joke, even if some people did't see it had been done already.
Yes I can. It's one of the most tired jokes on the internet, up there with "do a barrel roll" and "over 9000." It would be annoying but passable if just one, or even two or three people reacted to it, but fucking eleven, all in the same damn thread?? And look, we've already got another one.

Some people don't read the whole thread, so they don't see that eleven other people have already made the joke. And even if they did read the thread, you are the only person who seems to be complaining about this. Like I said in my last post, it's just a joke, lighten up. If you don't like it then tough, but people aren't going to do as you say just because you shout and yell at them and say they shouldn't. I know this is the internet but common courtesy can still apply. I know saying this isn't likely to have any effect but if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
