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

Isn't £189 around $300 US?

I have no idea man, Im terrible at working out the difference between punds and dollars :P

If what you say is right then no, the price is sligtly less here in england, but still extortionate

I may just buy a Wii for the rubber ducky. I wonder what functionality it has and if it has a motion sensor..

Thier site was hacked? I dunno...

Dude, that has to be it. I mean, I don't think I've ever actually liked anyone I have met who works at a gamestop (everyone who works there in my town is a complete ass), but this takes insanity to another level entirely.

This is madness. I guess GameStop needs to make more money by offering free stuff.

$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?

I think that is exactly what they are intending, watch your kids people, don't let them try anything sneaky.

"Nintendo Wii Take a Bath with a Buddy Bundle"...WTF?! No, serious, WTF.

Hey, kiddies! Let's all learn the fun of electrocution*!

*Darwin Award nomination included, no guarantees of winning.

Agreed, extra bonus points for the 3rd bundle under that that is a Wii & a squirtgun. Encouraging children to play with water & electricity :D Actually I like it & I endorse this. Too many people on my planet :D

I think you're overreacting, it's just a relatively unfunny joke, although I though "Bath With A Buddy Bundle" was a bit of a classic...

I dunno, guys, $249 may be a bit much for a Wii, but you can get a rubber ducky with it. I think I may get the bath bundle just for the duck, then throw away the Wii.

OMG a rubber duck or a water gun,what will I choose!

Just waiting for the court cases on the take a buddy to bath one, they obviously didn't talk to their lawyers about that one.. or any marginally sane person.

Hm... what is wrong with selling rubber ducks with a gaming system. It all seems perfectly normal to me...

So maybe the problem is WITH YOU? *g*

I'm pretty sure the squirt gun bundle is so that kids will shoot water at the Wii and then they will have to buy another Wii, you know, increasing profit and all.

Does the rubber ducky have a Demo mode so it can play by itself?

I just noticed that the Duck and Squirt Gun bundles are limited to 2 per household, while the Pirate Tattoo bundle is limited to 1. What.

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.

But that's the genius of it.. buy your Wii, and when you get bored of it, you've still got something to do!

They couldn't even sweeten the deal with the rubber ducky with the devil horns? Bastards.

Wheres the bundle that gives you the Wii, Duck, Pistol AND Tattoo?

I wanna ink myself up, swagger around like John Wayne and spray water at rubber ducks whilst shouting various duck related insults. [Im actually drawing a blank on what those insults would be]

Actually forget the Wii, just sell me the extras please.

I think we can all agree that Gamespot has problems dressing itself and wears a cone on it's head. I know that Wii is marked as a kiddie platform, but I never thought that anyone else than the consumers were willing to admit it.

If you have a death wish, it would be a good idea. Who doesn't want to die in the tub with a Wii and a rubber duck?

wow that ridiculous. the squirt gun makes sense tho cuz both the wii and the squirt gun are only fun with someone else and only for a little while.

I have to admit, I never thought I would see a video game bundle like this. It has to be part of their plan to take over the world.
