About three days ago, I went out to Target to have some pictures printed. Since it was still early and I have few hours to spare, I decided to go to my fave store, TJ Maxx. Hb was working from home and our son was taking a nap so I took my sweet time shopping by myself. I just browsed through the kitchenware, I promised not to get anything anymore. I always end up buying something when I visit the kitchen aisle, lol. Anyway, I got hb some small Christmas presents even if we told ourselves that the Nintendo Wii will be our presents to ourselves, althought we still don't know where to find that elusive Nintendo Wii. So maybe after few minutes of browsing some more, I decided to go home.
There was a long line in the check-out counter but a box of what looks like a Nintendo Wii just caught my eyes. As I walked closer and closer to the counter, I was staring at the box, and it was in fact a Nintendo Wii! I wondered what that box was doing there. So I asked the clerk and she said it was the last unit left and nobody has bought it yet. Even if I was kinda confused why TJ Maxx has a Nintendo Wii unit, I still called hb to tell him the good news and he immediately gave a go signal to get it. It was $367 with all extras included.
Since hb always checks availability online and in some stores of the Nintendo Wii, he pretty much memorized the features and how much the extras will cost. So he checked the box right away. Supposedly it was a good buy, since it has 11 items in the box, but some of the stuffs there were just a bunch of things we don't really need. So $367 was a rip-off. Even if we are desperate for a Nintendo Wii, we just passed up on this one and will just wait from a reputable electronic store. So both of us went to TJ Maxx and returned the item, goodbye Wii and better luck next time.
When we got home hb looked up again online and found out that he could actually order Wii at amazon.com already. He opted to pay for shipping so it will arrive before Christmas. Well, I do hope it would. I haven't seen 'big boy' so obssessed with an electronic game, geez!

That is a rip-off, too expensive and like what you said, you don't need the extras. Have fun with your new toy! We've had it for a year now and the enjoyment hasn't worn off. It is a great game system. :o)
