If people already knew about this: Don't critisize, I'm just sharing what I found.

Thanks. I just ordered 2 Wii Remotes and 2 Nunchuks. (Free shipping) Toungue
a little expensive isnt it?
It's as much as you would from any other online store. Wich would be about the same price as anything else. (Other than S&H...)
yeah, i was just talking about the wii points card mainly, seeing as you can download those for $20 and it costs like $25 from dell.
The Wii Remotes and Nunchuks cost the exact same as retail, and since my order was over $50.00 or something, I got free shipping. Smile

Right, everything else makes sense to me, but spending more money on the Wii Points doesnt really make sense. Guess Dell needs to make more money.

Actually, most places charge a little more for their Wii Point Cards.

tru, i go to walmart, and its like 22.50 or something

why would people buy them at a retail store then? when they can be purchased online via the Shop Channel?
only thing i can figure is not having a credit card for use. but still, its $5 more! thats a whole NES virtual console download.
the only places ive seen wii points the retail price (20 bucks) is game stores. targets, circuit cities, and wal marts all have them priced at 22.5 to 27.5
remember to check the ETA: Remotes & Nunchuks: Usually Ships: 1-2 Weeks

To get things at the shop channel, you need Wii points.

Nintendo's too lazy to convert prices so that they are all the same ammound when buying Virtual Console games. With the point system, it keeps it simple when purchasin VC games.

Any more complaints?

I saw that. I don't really care, considering I'm not actually getting my Wii for an estimated 1 to 2 weeks anyway. Toungue Plus, I bet I'll get the shipment before Wii Remotes and Nunchuks become easily obtainable in stores.

You can buy the Wii Points in the Shop Channel. Thats what I did, i'm just letting people know that you can get them online for obviously cheaper as long as you have a credit card.
Wow! with a dell credit card, you can make payments on a $50 game for as little as 2 dollars/month!!!(In sarcastic tone)
Erm I'm pretty sure Target sells them for $19.99
Ill be sure to tell some of my firends about this.
I heard Loblaws had some Wii for sell on launch day.
Wii-motes are only 39.95 retail. may be more at retail online sites, but not in the stores, least not round these parts.

i suppose the extra charge balances out the cost of shipping since it's anything over $50. oh those online stores are a tricky lot
