MM... I kinda need it online, because I need it shipped internationally... People are ripping us off here (us$900+) so 250+50 shipping + 90% import taxes = better deal.
Except.. hehe can't find it anywhere... I did find those 6 games bundles, but that goes a little over my budget.
What websites should I check out? I don't know many north american retailers.

I am aiming at ~310 (with shipping) 
I could even buy the bundles, if I could sell the extra crappy games I do not want, but I've been looking around the local market, and I can tell that I will be stuck with them, so I'm really just aiming at the Wii with sports for now. How long do you guys reckon it will take for online stores to have the wii again? I mean, you are getting in queues to buy the thing, is the demand really still THAT harsh?
Thanks!

On ebay they are selling for almost $400 so your budget is a little low. lol. You can buy the bundle and sell the games on ebay but then you have fees to pay and all that stuff so its not worth it IMHO. Good luck on finding one for that price.

These are hard to find and on ebay they are going for about $400. I know I personally wouldnt pay that much but what are you looking to spend. It just depends on how bad you want it and what you want to spend.

Yeh my budget is pretty low.. but thats only really cos its not worth paying any more than that... because I have high shipping cost + 90% tax, ya can calculate that ill pay 2x the anounced price, so say I find it for 400 x 2 = 800. Not worth the trouble since I can probably find it already imported here for more or less this value.
I guess I'll have to wait untill all this crazyness is over and online stores have it for the original us$250 price...

Or you can buy one on ebay for $400 plus shipping.lol. Or pay $350 from someone who is selling theirs because they dont want it. Shipping would only be $10 priority mail
