Seriously tempted, I've already got a white one but black would look so much cooler with the rest of my kit, trouble is I hardly ever use the white one, I guess at least this comes with the MotionPlus and resort.

Here is a stock check link too... they started off with 5000 so they are fairly shifting.

Its on HUKD too now and getting lots of heat.... so if you were thinking of getting one, I'd get in there before they go.

This is a very good price right now... as Wii Sports Resort is £30 on its own.

It was meant to be for the weekend only but it seems they haven't taken the link down yet, it's not on the main page now though.

Out of interest, if this was bought it only comes with 1 controller. If another is needed do you need the remote and motion plus and nunchuck thing to play sports resort?

Been checking and that comes to nearly £50 for what is essentially 1 controller. Surely it's possible to get them cheaper than that or do Nintendo really rip people off that much? Xbox ones can be had for £15!

with this you get

1 remote
1 nunchuk
1 motion+

if you want to play sports resort 2 players then yes you'll need one more of each of the above. I believe resort requires a motion+, the original wii sports (also included) doesn't

best thing to do is look out for bundles, i.e tiger woods 10 with the motion+, wii play with a wiimote etc
