Buy the Wii or Wait?

[Cherbear013]

I'm thinking of getting a Wii system within the year. Right now bing is offering 8% back plus I received a 10% coupon from ebay. I can get a system for about $130. Is this a good deal or will the sales be that good around the holidays? Also would you get the Wii over the Nintendo DS? It is for my fiance and I who are 26 and 32 so I'm thinking we might use the Wii more with the Fit system. TIA!!

We just bought one yesterday and we love it! It sounds like a good deal. The reason we got ours now is because we had giftcards to Best Buy and the price of the system dropped. Its tough to say what will happen in the future because of the economy. If you can afford it I would say get it now. Don't forget to add in the cost for extra accessories like nunchuks and wii remotes and games.

Nintendo just dropped the price of the Wii to $199 so I don't think you'll find any deals on just the Wii before the Holidays. There will probably be bundle deals, but if it were me I'd get it now at $130, thats an awesome price for it.

If you can get it for $130, BUY IT NOW!!

You will not see prices like that anywhere. As a previous poster said, they just dropped the price to $199 in the past few weeks so it's not coming down any further anytime soon.

For your age group, definitely go with the Wii over the DS. You'll have much more fun with it.

We've had ours for a year now and love it.

Wii's do not go "on sale" - you might find a bundle that maybe saves you a very little amount on the total bundle cost vs buying separately, but the system itself will always be $199 or very close to it. It will certainly not be anywhere even remotely close to $130. Buy it.
