Eb Brisbane Australia Wii question

dragunov · 11-19-2006, 12:14 AM

Hi all,
I just saw a posting on the internet here in Brisbane Australia involving Eb Games . It was for a wii with extra remote and "free bag". for 480 AUD. Does anyone know if this is true . Am i missing something here as i really want to preorder a wii now.
Many thanks

I don't know really can't help you there. You can try, if you do I wish you all the luck

You can preorder anytime in Australia. I preordered mine last week. Though the EB games deal you speak of is non-excisting from what i know. In Melbourne, we just get a free bag. No remote.
Good Luck!

I think I got an awesome deal at Toys R Us
Wii Console
2 wimotes and nunchuck attachments
Wii Sports
Twilight Princess
NFS: Caron
Rayman (yes not so great)
Open Season (even worse trading it in)
Wii Console Bag
for.... $730

Its not an awesome deal, but its not abd either. I would have got it if I had that much

And what do you mean Rayman not so great. Rayman looks pretty good. no Z:TP but its still funky

I just went with the free game. Gosh I hope I can get NFS:C over Open Season like u can apparently. Or I shall be...well its free so who cares. Still better than EB's bag offer.

G'day Dragunov. I can confirm that you get the free bag. I saw it advertised in a mag yesterday so I rang up the EB at Sunnybank (on the South Side near Mt Gravatt) where I have my Wii pre-ordered to confirm it. They said that Yes, all pre-orders will recieve a free carry bag.

i prordered mineat myers like last week and there still doing preorders...go if theres a myer near you..( sounds like an add)

im_a_super_smash_bro · 11-19-2006, 07:57 AM

at my EB you can pre-order any time within one week before it launchs. My EB calls nintendo and asks for as many as they have pre-order. Its an awesome system!

I'm getting the same bundle except I got EB to match it because they weren't having a midnight launch and EB was so yeah but I realised the 2 Wii-motes and Nunchucks were a good deal it turns out you only get one extra set

but meh without the deal its all $879.70 so yeah it pretty good the guy at was like " shit thats heaps good"

The TRU that I pre-ordered at is apparently doing a midnight launch.

My Toys 'R' Us I shall quote the mystical EB store hand in why they aren't doing a midnight launch

deity_link · 11-19-2006, 07:54 PM

I think we can all establish that pretty much all TRU are doing midnight launches

EB Games are selling the Wii console for $399 and the extra remote with a bundled game for $80.00. The free bag comes with the console. So in reality, it's not really a deal, it's just RRP.
