Not the 'Best Buy'?

How stupid do you think we are, Best Buy? I'm pretty sure we can insert (safely or otherwise) into our XBOX360s! Sheesh!

Hey Folks! Mario Kart for the Wii is finally arriving on April 27. What's with Nintendo releasing smash hits on a Sunday? They must be taking advantage of the fact that it's a "Day of God" or "Rest Day" and really want their gamers to be playing their games all day Sunday!

Well, here are a few place you can pre-order from. It's not that much savings but it'll save you a trip to your local games store!

Mario Kart (Wii) with Racing Wheel
Costco Price $44.99, $4.98 shipping

Newegg Price $46.99, free 3 day shipping

TigerDirect Price $45.99, shipping unavailable

Oh my Wii-ness!

Gosh, everybody loves the Wii. It's like the little kid at the party that can do tricks. Of course it's minuscule (in almost every way) to it's bigger PS3 or XBOX360 cousins, but it does the job nicely from a lot of folk. Me, included!

Since it was released, getting your hands on a Wii was like getting a photo of Tom Cruise picking his nose. Really, it was that hard. EBayers and resellers reveled in the fact that Wiis were a hot item and often jacked up the prices for prospective Wii buyers.

Luckily for you, I found a place that had some in stock. Toys 'R Us looks like they have some in stock but have cut off online sales (within the past hour no less) so people lucky enough to have Toys 'R Us in their neighborhood can go pick one up. It's a good deal with the standard Wii console package and Super Smash Brothers bundled in.

You might also try your local Best Buy or Gamestop and see if they have any units in stock. This is definitely going to be running out very soon

Toys 'R Us Price $299.98, in store pick up only
