Wii Now Selling for Under £100 in Several Stores

by - source: CVG

Despite the new price of £129 that was announced earlier this month, you can now get the Wii for less than a hundred pounds at several major retailers.

Around the time Wii 2/HD/Project Café rumors started doing the rounds, reports of a Wii price cut started to circulate too. Of course, this only exacerbated the Wii 2 chatter, and sure enough, Nintendo confirmed that it would be launching a successor to the Wii next year.


However, that doesn't change the fact that there are still quite a few current generation Wiis hanging out in stock rooms and on shelves. Earlier this month, Nintendo announced a price cut that would knock the US price of the Wii down to $150 and the UK price to £129 -- reductions of $50 and £50, respectively. Still, it seems several retailers have gone even further and are offering bundles for less than £100.

CVG reports that GAME, Gamestation and Asda are selling a new Mario Kart bundle (and the existing Wii Sports Resort bundle) for just £99.99. While not quite as cheap, HMV has also undercut Nintendo’s recommended £129 price tag and is selling the Wii for £115. Others have placed a £120 tag on the console.

How low does the price have to go before you’d consider picking one up? Or are you done with the Wii for good? Let us know in the comments below!

Amazon were doing this about a month or so back but I'm not sure if anyone else had followed suit. Glad to see it's taking hold. :)

I would imagine demand has somewhat tailed off now as almost everyone who wants one already has one...
