It would normall have cost more than that without the student discount.

£283.95 normally

Is the remote just a remote (like tv/dvd) or a sort of game controller as your console alreay has one?

He's bought another Remote / Nunchuk, so guess he wants 2 player

So the remote and nunchuks are game controllers? do you use both at the same time? seems a bit odd to me :confused:

One in each hand, the nunchuk connected to the controller via a small cable.

Is the console supplied with remote and nunchuck or just the remote?

That's whtI planned, can't wait

Nintendo games are all about multiplayer tbh

@ Tesla, it comes with a nunchuck and a wiimote, and also wii sports

Hate to say it but you don't get NUS on consoles at HMV.co.uk, so expect to pay full price when they take the money for the console, apparently it looks as if it's worked but you will later receive an email telling you that you don't get it on consoles.

Herminator · 4 Nov 2006 at 13:15

I think you'll find HMV will contact you saying you can't get a discount on the console.
I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, although I placed an order for the console on it's own. They emailed me and I ended up canceling the order. I also had an order for an extra Wiimote, nunchuck and classic controller, they haven't emailed me about that so it looks like I'll be getting them rather cheap

I also got a £5 and £3 voucher so I've just pre-ordered Zelda for £27.99, it's a shame the student discount isn't added ontop of that.

No, where'd you get that idea? Have you read the thread?

Um... I bought them as an extra so I could use multiplayer...?

Goddamnit

Hopefully they won't notice? That'd be neat.... If not then I'll complain at them and pay full price anyway, since this was going to be bought either way.
