Default Rumour? Buy a Japanese Wii for US $2.17

[Only registered users can see links. ]





The Wii is really popular in Japan. Heck, the Wii is popular pretty much everywhere. Selling them? Piece of pie. No wonder Nintendo isn't dropping the price anytime soon. So retailers would have to be nutty to sell them under MSRP. And selling them at a 99 percent discount? BAT SHIT INSANE. Rakuten Ichiban online retail shop GMAX is doing just that. Between November 9th and December 9th, the retailer is apparently selling five (yes, five) for ¥250 ($2.17) — one per customer. If this is just a publicity stunt, then it's totally working!

yup two dollars and 17 cents my friend. Only five of them though. But still it's a great gimmick!

yeah I know...but still a great gimmick. Get people to the site and if they don't pay the cheap price they still might pay the regular price.
