Wii - Pre Owned Result!

Hawk Tuah · 1 May 2008 at 14:47

I just bought a Pre Owned Wii from a popular highstreed PC Game shop.

I didn't intend to buy pre owned, but I thought I'd take a look. It all looked new, no scratches or anything. So I got it for £159.

Just got it back to the office to test it all works, and whoever returned it has left a game in it.

£159? They are about £165 new on a good online retailor. :eek:

Mario Galaxy or something like that. Shame it wasn't Fifa 08.

Plus p&p? Cheapest I can find is £170 plus 8.95 delivery.

I wanted to buy it in a shop. I've already tried to order it online and got diddled around. By a company that I've never before had any problems with too.

Mario Galaxy is one of the best games, ever! Honestly. I adore it.

Result, hopefully it's a decent game. edit - it is

Just scooped a broken 360 with RROD for £50 myself, which is being replaced under extended warranty free of charge. Bargains a-lordy.

TBH for the sake of an extra tenner I would have bought a new one.

Got mine for £170 brand new from a high street store.

Although its probably worth it for the game!

Definitely should have bought a new one for that price!

Meh. I got to check it over first and it was all like new.

Fair play then. And Mario Galaxy is supposedly excellent.

Margaret · 1 May 2008 at 16:40

Had Galaxy, cool level design at first but I got bored halfway through.

Buffman · 1 May 2008 at 18:26

I got mine for £162 delivered new on the day of release

. Sadly I still feel ripped off after considering how little I've played it, though mario kart is fun and brawl should be good.

Its really a present for my gf. (although until her birthday it will be the 'office' wii.

Personally I'm looking forward to playing fifa08 on it.

Egon · 1 May 2008 at 23:54

Personally I hated Fifa on it, the controls really narked me off, didn't feel like any Fifa I knew. Its one of the main reasons I sold it and bought a PS3 (Fifa 08 on that is great).

However SMG was excellent, and I loved RE4.

Phew. Thanks for that. After looking at that vid and checking out fifa08 wii, it is Pro Evo I meant I'm looking forward to.

Thats the one with Micheal Owen and Ian Wright in the advert?
