Both my sister in law and my wife were looking for weeks for a Wii. I had almost given up and started looking at e-bay. We found wiialerts.com and about a week later my sister in law got a cell phone alert at work, she called me, I logged onto Amazon and ordered 2. They have shipped and UPS says they will be here Dec 12th. 2 Wii's for a total of $499.98 ($249.99 each) and free shipping. Sure beats the heck out of an overpriced bundle or going to e-bay.

I was skeptical of purchasing the huge bundle not knowing if the items were in a special "bundle" package not for resale or return individually. The only money you're out is the interest on the credit card for the number of days it takes to ship and you to return it. :) Good tip, thanks Mark. That’s good to know!

The total cost was exactly the same as the individual items' Wal-Mart prices added up, so there was most definitely no premium or markup over their standard prices ($250 for the console, $48 for games, etc). I then simply took the items I didn't want to the nearest Wal-Mart and returned them with the receipt. (Each item was listed separately.) The game choices are not all that "mediocre," either. The 47 game choices include Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Zelda, Resident Evil, etc., etc. of which you choose 6. I purchased one of the overpriced Wal-Mart bundles.
