I could purchase a pro set of goalie equipment for that price...

Damn. A single Wii Console for 2,250 dollars. I saw some Wii Bundles with a Wii, 10 games, and 2 Wii Remotes and Nunchucks for like 1000 dollars.

Keep in mind that's British pounds, not dollars. That price converts to over $4,626! Maybe PAL Wiis are rarer...

 

[TortillaChip520]

is that for 10 wiis?

 

[balrogs.pa]

Actually, I think it's for 10 consoles, up at the top it says 10x Wii...

nice linux you have there FRuMMaGe...is that the newest release, I haven't seen it yet? Or just a special skin?

Nope, I'm on the old Ubuntu 6.06. I think 7.10 is just out, but I'm happy with my current setup. And yeah, it's a custom theme.

Also, just to stop people from being misleaded, this is actually for 10 Wii's. I didn't realise that until I posted it, but £250 ($500) is still a massive amount above the RRP (£179).

Also, why would they buy 10 without some desire to sell them.

No, That is for ten.
Still silly money as they are available and cost £179-95.
All I can say is panic buying.
Have thought of buying a couple and sticking them on E-Bay. Selling for over £200-00. on there.
