A'up,

does anyone know where you can get hold of extra Wii remotes, nunchuck & motion plus cheapest?

Best I've found so far is Amazon with a black Wii remote + nunchuck for £52 (same as Tesco). Going the other route, getting Wii Play + nunchuc + motion plus comes in at £60 per controller set.

I'm looking at picking up a Wii for my folks, but getting the extra controllers take the console from £150, to £250/£300... Thats not including any games other than Wii Sports & Sports Resort either!

If you go to the Tesco website, and use their pay and collect system, you can pick up a Wii Remote, and Nunchuck for £35. I think theyre selling the Motion plus for £17, so would be £52 for all 3 pieces.

Thanks for the reply - thats seems to be the best deal around (it's the same on Amazon and a few other sites).

There is a MadCatz bundle on Play for £30, but my experience of their controllers in the past would mean I'd pay the extra fiver!

I just bought a Wii remote AND nunchuk for £29.90 off Zavvi.

Once you add both components to your basket, it comes to £30.90.

Then text 82100 for a £1.00 discount voucher, which I can confirm works.

There's a range of colours to choose from too

True, but by the time you add in the motion plus controller it goes to £52 again. Seems that is just the price they are frown

Looking at it, I might have to give it a miss - £200/£300 for a Wii with no games is just a little too much!

Ah sorry I must have missed the bit about Motion plus.

I'm currently shopping around for a PS3 and there are a lot of deals around. I find the best place to compare deals is: www.hotdealsuk.com

The 'hottest' deal for the Wii is currently this one http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/545993/nintendo-wii... - take a look and read through the comments but it looks like a good'un

Coo! DealExteme have sets for $20! http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32010

Shame they're "fake", but for half the price of standard kit you can't complain really.

Oh, and thanks for the links ladies and gents.
