    This is GREAT! And an absolute slab in the face to all those that bought them for 400+ a couple of years ago! How do you like your wii now?

    Is this thing still rare?
    The concept is good but it eventually ends up some kind of yoga device. There are more games for Xbox and PS3 out there.

    #1, who can slap those who can pay any price for anything they want? Do they care?

    Did anybody really pay $400 for a Wii? Maybe losers who bought them from gougers on eBay...

    Nice. I wonder if these Wii's were any of the homebrew hacked ones and when returned to Nintendo due to overheating (wi-fi card on homebrew does bad things) Nintendo said they would not repair it for free .... hence these semi low priced boxes.

    As these units are now routinely showing up @ ~$225 for a new unit, I would definitely pass. Also, with a new version being rumored to launch, even more of a reason to skip this fake uber-deal.

    #1, getting a Wii now is so retro.

    Actually, I would agree with #8. This should be cheaper since it's refurbed.

    Not worth it since you can get new from Dell for $225.

    I agree that this should be cheaper since it is a refurb.

    Yeah, Wii's are pretty much everywhere, in any store, across the US. NewEgg, shame on you!

    Are wii games still in the stage where they just want to show that you can control things by moving your hands so they take everyday tasks and let you do them on your tv? Or have they come out with any uniquely Wii games that are cool. I mean, how many times can you flip a burger on your TV? Go by a grill and cook real food. More than 4 people can come over and enjoy your non-fake food making skills.

    who said 400 plus a few years ago? it was still retail 250. if they bought it on ebay when first came out then it's a diff story.
