Sams Club Wii Bundle
Wal-Mart's other retail brand, Sam's Club, will rely on a Nintendo Wii bundle to get customers into the store on Black Friday, a flyer reveals. The Family Bundle should be one of most heavily discounted console deals in recent memory and will include a Wii system, three remotes with matching nunchuk controllers, the pack-in Wii Sports game and both King of Clubs Mini Golf as well as Mario Super Sluggers in a combined $224 package.
As is often the case for doorcrasher deals, there will be "limited quantities" of the bundle at each store, Sam's Club warns. It's not known whether every store in the chain will offer the same bundle.
The discount is unusual in pushing the total cost well below the normal price of just the Wii alone, which is normally priced at $250. Both Nintendo and observers have also said there is little incentive to drop the price on the Wii or otherwise offer bundles as it continues to sell out on a regular basis.
