Got Reece a Wii for Christmas but only got one Remote.....is anyone selling one at a decent price? i don't wanna be paying £32 + for one brand new, i've looked on ebay and don't fancy risking one from China

I believe the ones at ASDA are madcatz so not orginal, reviews of them say they are not the cleaver.

Instore only Asda selling unofficial Wii Nunchunk for £5 and Wii remote for £15 - Page 2 - HotUKDeals Forum

I would (As I Did) Buy the game Wii Play and get a remote with that, mabe gameshops in town will do a pre owneded one or try ebay.

Here is what I mean.
Play.com (UK) : Wii Play (includes Wii Remote) : Nintendo Wii - Free Delivery

thanx for that Mr D, i was asking one of the lads at cash gen the other day if they get them in often....and they don't

don't fancy trying one of those from Asda because i bought a docking station and battery packs from Argos yesterday and i doubt the battery packs will fit them

oh by the way, the docking stations and battery packs have gone down to £6.66 at Argos in the sale (down from £19.99) if anyones interested

They are good but you have to keep taking the clear grip things off to charge them though. You can't charge them with the precision thingy on the bottom either. I just use rechargeable batteries in ours.

now i don't like those clear grip things Neil, my bro lent us a controller with one of those on, i prefer to use it without

Neil · 28-12-2009, 08:28

typical, you like it uncovered, can you feel it better

They brought them out to try and stop people throwing the wiimote at each other and the TV. They even gave them free to people who bought Wii's before the grip things came out. You just filled an online form in and they sent them to you

i bought Reece a skin for his nunchuk and his remote, i dont like those either

Having had most games machines I find the original controllers are always the best, longest lasting etc.

I still have working original xbox controllers while the madcatz etc have all failed.

Mrsmatty wants another wii controller with motion plus, thats gonna cost the best part of £50. Not cheap

We have an old one that keeps losing connection, I'm going to have to sort that out when I get a roundtuit

hey flashy i just ordered my 5th item from china today on ebay and so far not had a single problem, even if you did paypal always and i mean always side with teh buyer not teh seller if you pay through paypal due to their new policy of scew the seller no matter what.

you should be ok an dpaypal have you covered and also the controlers are genuine nintendo parts just got chineese writing on teh box but a dam sight cheaper

flashy · 28-12-2009, 16:36

we both looked at those yesterday didnt we J, i'm gonna have a look at that new shop on Broadway first before i think about buying one off ebay....cheers cocker

oh and thanx for the goo
