Cheap Wii Controller and Nunchucks

Milly82

I was looking for a WII controller and nunchuck and found them to be the cheapest on www.play.com. They are €25.49 each and free delivery. Not bad!!! Think they are about €40 in the shops.

I'm in the same boat but sorry to disappoint you but Play.com will not ship them to Ireland as they'll come under gadgets :mad: I can't even get them to ship a calendar for some bizarre reason, as they've no problem with my order of books.

They're 25 quid in smyths too!

Deal extreme do them for $21 which works out around €16.50 and free shipping. Only problem is it can take upto 3 weeks sometimes as they are shipped from Hong Kong. Also its not an offical wii one but still good price.

Are they really only €25 in Smyths? It says on their website thet they're€39.99. If that's true then that's a bargain as €45 each in most other places that I've checked.

If any of these are 3rd party manufacturers I'd steer clear. For a small saving, they usually fail or have some missing functions.

Try blahdvd or thehut. I think they both ship this stuff to Ireland and have good prices.
Nunchuk £11.91 and remote £24.87 + P&P on blahdvd.

Also consider wiiplay. For a couple of quid more, you get the remote with the game.

i bought wiiplay from cdwow for E34.99, i only wanted the remote but the game will keep the kids amused.

play are really weird like that. I tried ordering a tiny 2gb M2 memory stick and they wouldnt ship it as its a gadget wheras a while back i got the massive guitar hero 3 + guitar pack and they had no problems with that

I bought the Wii Play just for the remote last year but it stopped working after a few months, replaced the batteries but still no life. So if it's only €25 in Smyths I'd definitely buy it. Unless someone has any ideas as to what's wrong with my non working remote and how to bring it back to life?

If someone payed e40 for one of theses in the shops id kick them in the head. Where did you see them for e40? They are third party and I'd bet not half as good quality or reliable as the official ones.

Yet another thread that's filling this board up with crap. Do people not understand what a bargain is?

Strange indeed. Tried again and it still says there is a problem with your delivery address, gadgets and electronics can only be delivered to a UK address. Anyhow it's €42 so not a bargain. As far as I can tell the Wii remote is €40 in Smyths, €45 in Gamestop and €50 in Xtravision. Was in Xtravision yesterday and the girl was adamant that it could not be got cheaper than €49.99 anywhere else.:D It's the dearest shop to buy the remote.

the ps3 comtroller looks okay for €12.99, even if it is wired

Play.com allowed me to go ahead and order the wii remote today. Strange that! Wonder why the sudden change of heart? Still won't allow me to order the poster I want though, I'm so confused. They had no problem with my books and calendar so why not the poster?

Milly82

That's very strange Appleblossom. I have never had any problem ordering from them. Glad you got it sorted though.

Any (good) offers on the Wii not that the xmas rush is over ?
