Supply and demand. People are stupid this time of year and will stupidly pay absurd prices for things.

never seen it....$249 bucks with wii sports here in the states. Maybe you should contact someone about it they can get in a lot of trouble doing that.

The worst some gay places will do here is say you can buy a wii if you buy it with 5 games an extra controller and all this other crap and pay a bundle price

I just checked walmart.com. $439.00 - $677.38 us (BUNDLE)

It went up almost $200 over night.

Coleman is right get a 360.

Mark my words the only console standing after this war is going to be Microsoft.

PS3 = Sega Saturn

Wii = Iddybittytittycommittee

360 = Pwnage

technically, technically! it is not them being stupid. Those consumers who buy them at an elevated price simply have a higher WTP (willingness to pay), their preferences don't change at all. This is illustrated by studying any downward sloping demand curve, nomatter where the price is, those people who have that exact WTP or higher will buy it. If the price is $300, yet consumer A has a WTP of $400, he can still buy at $300 and we call that extra $100 he saves consumer surplus.
