[Update: the Black Friday Deals page now says the thing costs $425, and the price has been removed from the image. Thanks, Happy Steve, for pointing this out!]
Black Friday is almost upon us -- that shopping riot that takes place the day after Thanksgiving, and which retailers now encourage, despite all the trouble thousands of sleep-deprived, desperate, nervous shoppers can cause. If you have a Sam's Club membership, but no Wii, it may be worth your time to brave the crowds for this bundle, because it is very, very cheap.
For $224, you get a Wii, three remotes, three Nunchuks, and copies of Wii Sports (obviously), Mario Super Sluggers, and King of Clubs, the last of which was probably slipped in more to get rid of extra stock than to add value.
If you want to try for one of these things, we advise you to a) not get your hopes up, and b) arrive at Sam's well in advance of the 5AM opening hour.
[Thanks, Steve!]

I'm pretty sure most of these are just going right up on ebay.

I would almost think that's a price misprint. That's just too low!

This is just a con to get people into their store. You can only be outside of one store at 5 AM on BF, and I bet there will be only like 5 of these at any one location, but more wii's that are individually rapped. They take to much of a hit to have even 10 of these for purchase.

WOW! That is a great deal!! I already have a Wii, so this offer doesn't apply to me, but I will tell my sister who has been wanting a Wii for a while.

Madness. $25 less than the actual console with more stuff in the box?

Aww, the page that this article links to now says the bundled price is $425. Guess it must've been a misprint. Lame.
