I've heard a lot of people like the Wii Fit for exercise and have decided I want to try it out. Now, the SD'ler in me thinks I should just wait for a deal on each component and just buy them seperately, but those deals really don't come around that often and I don't want to be spending the next 3 months surfing for the right deal.

So... does anyone know a decent Wii bundle that gives me everything I need at a price that is fair? It doesn't have to be the cheapest deal ever, just something I won't feel that I got hosed on. I would also like an extra controller, couple nunchucks and some decent games.

The yard stick I am measuring against is just one of the ebay deals. Using Bing and getting 10% cash back it costs about $330 and you get:

1 console with 5 games
1 wii fit bboard with 40 games
2 nunchucks
2 controllers

Is this deal the best I'm going to find without waiting around forever? Is there anything else I might need?

Thanks for your input guys...

I believe retail prices are approximately the following:

Console with Wii sports (5 games?), 1 controller, 1 nunchuck $200
Wii Fit (40 games?) with board $70? (plus version is $90 to $100)
Extra Controller $40
Extra Nunchuck $20

Total $330. So, it sounds like it's all retail... However, as you mentioned, you can search for the next three months and maybe save $20-$30? I see nothing wrong with the deal and, I would consider buying the package you described.

I already bought a Wii from Newegg. Love it.

(I put $70 on Wii Fit, because there is a good chance you can find it on sale somewhere with the release of the Plus version)

Cool, thanks for confirmation, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I think I'll jump on it...

it really depends on those 5 games, if those are good games then this is pretty slick, if those are so-so cheap/freebie games then it's pretty much retail price
