lol. thats crazy. they might be refurb units but who cares. definitely worth it for $199

[vonman]

Isn't Marshalls a clothing store?

[Edge]

Not bad, too bad there aren't any in my area. Cheapest I've seen a Wii for, previous record was $230 at a pawn shop. If it were available I'd pick it up for that, if for no other reason than so I can play my Gamecube games in progressive scan (I'd rather get a new system and a $6 component cable than have to spend $60+ on a Gamecube component cable).

On a related note, my local Shopko had about 6 Wiis today, and I also saw Wiis at Gamestop and Bestbuy on tuesday.

[Drico]

im gonna go check this out tomorrow and see if my local marshalls has one. its about 2 minutes from here.

[zizo79]

isn`t it crazy ? especially that my local BB has a lot of Wiis left ,i could probably PM it too

[aniousjoe]

wow, what a bunch of threadcrappers those assholes are!! will check tomorrow in houston, but probably ymmv to the region. who knows

[KrAzY3]

Damn, I went right by Marshalls today and declared we were not going to stop there (My wife loves it but I'm can only look at clothes for so long).

I suppose I'll swing by there tomorrow if I get the chance, anyone have more specifics about the deal? Seems like it should be fairly limited...

[strdr4]

Wow. I'm definitely going there tomorrow and there's one within walking distance of where I live.

Isn't Marshalls a 'reject' store, full of (mostly clothes that have) stuff that is wrong with them?

Its called "outlet", but yes its a surplus store so i would think its an automatic YMMV

[mietha]

...still overpriced.

[denshaotoko]

just bought my wii this week, any chance i could price match this back to Best buy and save $50?

Although there is some humor to be found in someone who actually would do this, I hope for the sake of CAG's rep, that people realize the above is a joke.

[Serpentor]

Wii at a surpluse store? hard to believe... nah, not even gonna try...

[velvet396]

$199, the price I think it should've been from the start.

[slidecage]

i still remember people saying the Wii was going to be FREE if you got 5 games at the same time.


I wonder how many people would be willing to pay 80 per game if the system was free


free system when you buy 4 games nintendo would make 120 for the system but in the long run they would make more cash


BUT then again tons of people wait for price drops on games before buying LOL

Are there 5 games worth playing on the Wii?

[CocheseUGA]

Are there 5 games worth playing on the Wii?

Do these comments get old?

The answer to both is a resounding yes.

[duran603]

I've never seen video games at Marshall's. I've seen them at TJ Max and Ross, but usually very crappy kids games. I've never seen systems though. I got my Wii for $199 at a local used cd store. There was no box, but the system was like new and I've been enjoying it ever since.

[techstar25]

Wii Sports. There's your 5. \\:D/
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Nice, I want a jersey. Maybe I'll go and check the place out.

The person that posted the deal on SD posted a pic of his reciept, if anyone can get in on this good job. Im checkin the one in Ann Arbor later, but im not expecting much.

My sister in law just saw this at Marshalls too, I was wondering why it is cheaper there, weird.

I think the marshall she is shopping at is somewhere near Waltham, Mass.

[coldwine]

Called 3 stores in NJ, at the last one (Princeton), they got pissy about it, saying that they had gotten too many calls, LOL. Hey, isn't it her job to answer the phone?

Zero Wiis in central NJ.

[bigdaddy]

$199, the price I think it should've been from the start.

Exactly. The only reason why it is $250 is because, they could sell it for that much because of the Xbox 360 and PS3 cost so much, and because of Wii Sports. Doesn't the Wii in Japan cost like $210 without the "game"?

[fraserjr]

No dice in Tysons Corner VA, I just stopped by there.

The Wii sells for 25,000 Yen in Japan, the same price as the previous 3 Nintendo consoles did. In America, the Wii is $250, compared to the $200 the previous 3 Nintendo consoles were in that territory. So yes, there was essentially a $50 price hike on the system from including Wii Sports (which currently sells for $10 used at Gamestop).

[Rozz]

Isn't Marshalls a 'reject' store, full of (mostly clothes that have) stuff that is wrong with them?

I would say at least 90-95% of the clothes at Marshalls are in fine condition. Often the clothes sold at Marshalls are either
A) Overstocked clothes somewhere else that the other store had to get rid of
B) Sizes that didn't sell well originally
C) Reasons unknown

Very rarely are they sold there because they're in bad condition.

Douche:roll::roll:

How was he being a "douche"? I can't think of 5 must-have Wii games either...

[Mahoney07]

I have not touched my Wii since Zelda and that was a gamecube game. I'm probably going to get Metroid though.

[jdawgg76]

what's wrong with the picture already submitted?

Wolfkin, please tell me that is your picture and you picked it up here in Atlanta. And then tell me which store, please.

[SaraAB]

Our marshalls has crappy clothes, depending on what your looking for, most of the womens clothes are like.. really bad, sweaters have holes, jeans have defects, if your buying something there you have to inspect the item before buying it carefully. They also charge around 30$ for jeans now and they are no name brand, or at least something I have never heard of, I can get jeans that don't smell like dye for much less at other stores. If you want mens skateboarding shirts and stuff like that its a good place to go because those are like 7-10$ vs 20-30 in a store like Pac Sun or Zumiez. They are good for shoes though, lots of mens sneakers for 20-25$ a pair, never found a pair of shoes with a defect. Womens shoes are usually more pricey (like 30-50$) because they carry brand names, which I do not need.

Can you name five exclusive games though? And ones that are currently available, at that?

Here's 5
Wii Sports

Metroid Prime 3
Super Paper Mario
Wario Ware

[mitch079]

Also, did Marshalls have any other consoles?

[CocheseUGA]

Really, the Wii controls make them exclusive. Godfather Wii is very nearly a completely different game.

Metroid Prime 3
Super Paper Mario
Strikers
WarioWare
RE4

Easy. Plus, BC. Sell your Gamecube, 'cause you won't need it anymore.

[$hady]

Sucks we don't have a Marshalls near here because $200 would be very tempting! Several games either approaching or already out that i'd like to play... I have never been so tempted to buy one until today when I FINALLY saw my first Wii in the wild, Best Buy had 4 of them on the shelf. I resisted the urge since Halo is monday night and I just bought Tiger 08. :D

[Edge]

Really, the Wii controls make them exclusive. Godfather Wii is very nearly a completely different game.

I've never understood that argument. Does 1080p support make Marvel: Ultimate Alliance exclusive to the PS3? Does online play make Virtua Fighter 5 exclusive to the Xbox 360? I really don't see how having a single feature in a game makes it count as an entirely new game. I can't say I've ever played any game that has a new feature, whether it be graphic, content, or controls, and felt it was worthwhile to buy at full price again just to enjoy that feature. I doubt anyone that's played The Godfather on PS2 or Xbox 360 is going to care to pay $50 just to play it with new controls (especially since it's a downgrade from the Xbox 360 version in some ways).

Especially since I prefered using the Gamecube controller for TP anyway. The only "exclusive" feature from the Wii version that I missed much was the widescreen support.

Anyway, this is getting off topic.

[CocheseUGA]

I'd say all the hand-to-hand kills are different, and you get precise aiming. That, to me, is significant.

If the controls in the Wii version of RE4 are 'revolutionary,' I'd say the same thing applies to the Godfather.

And, it's $30 now.

[$hady]

RE4 is a must buy game and kinda an exclusive since the new control style will change the whole feel of the game. I put easily 20+ hours into it on the Gamecube and the day I buy a Wii i'll also buy RE4 again. Plus it's got all the PS2 exclusives that people who only played the Cube version missed out on. If they can revamp one of the best games ever to make it even better why would you not want to play it? :D

So yes, there was essentially a $50 price hike on the system from including Wii Sports (which currently sells for $10 used at Gamestop).

The value of the dollar has decreased a lot since the GC and previous consoles came out. So while they may be getting more money for it, their profit is probably similar. That's really not relevant though, just thought I would point it out.

[jimijumper]

Nothing in Chicopee and Springfield, MA Marshall's.

[foltzie]

So you were the guy that bought the GBP. Congrats!

[chex20]

The reason that Marshalls has them for $200 is that they usually discount products that aren't doing too well, so the Wii's must have been there for a good long time (though, not as long as some stores). If you wait another month or so, I'm sure if they are still there it will be cheaper. Like really, who would ever think to go to Marshalls to pick up a Wii (or even look for a Wii for that matter)? It really isn't on my list of electronic stores to check.

Marshalls is a sister store to TJ Maxx, so these Wiis are either returns or refurbished in some fashion because they certainly arent overstock.

I dont know who could be feeding them these Wiis, but Caveat Emptor.

[munch]

Did anyone here get one?

[Fuzi0n]

Heres how my conversation went over on the phone.

Me: Hi I had heard you may have Nintendo Wiis in stock.
Old raspy man voice: A Nintendo what?
Me: A Nintendo Wii, it's a gaming system.
Old raspy man voice: No we don't sell video games.

This was a store in Clovis, CA.

If they are being sold in their original sealed boxes with no mention of them being refurbished, then they're not. That would be fraud unless they were specifically labeled as refurbs.

Mon. 09/24/07 - 5:45pm - Stopped at the Marshalls in Watertown, MA on my way home from work, didn't see a single Wii. Did not ask clerks. I assumed if they had them they went fast.

Might stop at Newton store on my out somewhere else later.

[daroga]

Man, anti-Nintendo trolls just can't stay out of any thread, can they?

This is a very weird deal. I wonder how widespread it is.

[roobix]

I was able to get in on this deal. when it happened last week.... was very very lucky.. is actually why i'm back in the CAG forums.. to find me some good game deals...

it's kinda cool to think i got the wii the same week the TRU b2g1 deal is happening..

There is no sign of refurbished anywhere.. everything inside looks brand new never touched and sleek..

The box the wii came looks new, shiney, and undamaged.. it's so new, the edges of the box feel ike they can give you a paper cut if you let it slide fast enough on your skin.. yea.. i know it sounds retarded/lame.. but that was my first reaction when i held the box..

[HighlightShow]

Wow, what a find!

[Jewelz23]

I might go to marshalls around my way and check this out tomorrow...

[SaraAB]

Anyone know what department these are in, in the store?

[roobix]

Anyone know what department these are in, in the store?

it may vary by location..

it was at the lay away section at the marshalls i was at...

I would just check the signs.. they had a big one outside the store.

[Monsta Mack]

Still a deal compared to the eBay prices, and God knows what those prices will be by November/December during the holiday rush. Everyone should check their local Marshalls outlet and bounce on this. Still can't fathom Marshalls carrying Wiis tho.

[WiiGame]

thats crazy... 199 for wii... nobody would expect marshalls to have it thats why they have so many probably...

[foltzie]

If they are being sold in their original sealed boxes with no mention of them being refurbished, then they're not. That would be fraud unless they were specifically labeled as refurbs.

Umm... Not if the entire store is merchandise that is sold "AS IS". Thats the ENTIRE Marshalls/ TJ Maxx deal. They sell either rejected, refurbished, or otherwise overstocked items.

[Wolfkin]

Did anyone here get one?I tried Atlanta, Ga two Marshalls didn't see anything.

[InvaderZim]

I checked 2 Marshalls and then called the customer service # posted on a sign in the front of the store... no one has heard of the stocking the Wii... not even customer service.

[kevlar51]

The Wii box doesn't come with a seal. But yeah, typically when something is refurbished it has to be labeled as such, on the product itself as well with a red "R" on the SN label.

[duran603]

I've been going to Marshalls for years. I've bought my share of electronic devices there (such as radios, shavers, etc.). Everything I've ever bought there was in perfectly new condition, and substantially discounted. That said, I highly doubt they would sell refurbished Wiis.

[GT]

Nothing in Newton, MA Marshalls, but they had a big bin by the register filled with Wii accessories (cooling stand, sports wiimote add on bundle) so some very minor evidence that maybe Wiis were in the store at some point.

[foltzie]

Um, NOT factory sealed electronic items unless they were marked as such...that would be fraud. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

Why, I'm certain proper disclosure takes place*. TJ Maxx and Marshalls have been in this business for some time. I'll trust their legal department is doing its job. ;-)

*I'll toss in one "however". However, someone in recieving at one of their feeder stores may have misstaged a batch of Wii's and sent them to Marshalls, but I consider this very unlikely.

[Jewelz23]

No Nintendo Wii's by the marshalls next to me.

[joe6555]

In Irvine! I live like 2 miles from that Marshalls. I gotta check it out.

[Sejad]

Working 3 years at a stupid luquidation store I can say that it is illegal for the product not mention on the bos it is a refurb or atleast you have been informed. On that topic I have never gotten a modern up to date gaming system while working there not even refurbished(we get 40-50" tv's BRAND NEW) this could mean that the product we got was either a old model a new one was released, overstocks and other reasons stores cant accept them, refurb, store closeouts, bankruptcies that is all the reasons I cant think off. I am sure that the wii's this Marshall store got are either Store Closeouts and/or bankruptcies that happend to a store they were located in. I remember getting smallville season 3-5 at a groccery store for 19.99 a piece, some dvd's were all sratched or either fallen out of it's slot.

[iazybandit]

People actually still checking? This deal is long dead and people have a 1% chance of finding one when it was first mentioned. Now you have 0% chance. You're just wasting your time looking for one now.

[Poolking99]

No I don't believe it. Thats a stupid move. Giving up 50 bucks in sales for a product in demand. Someone should be fired.
