Question Wii - best deals?

Decided to get one for christmas, been looking on line and this is the best deal (that suits us as a family) i have come across so far: Nintendo Wii Black, Sports Resort & 2 Games - Tesco.Direct

It seems a good price, is this a good deal?

Looking around today, it seems £179 is the average price for a black Nintendo Wii with 3 games.

Game, Gamestation and Currys were all the same price for the basic package.

Me and the mrs are tempted to get a Wii as our present to each other this Xmas. Was looking at getting a second hand one from Game or Gamestation as they come with warranties etc.

Unless we got a blinding deal new.

What are those for?

We bought our Wii in Spain 2 year ago as they were much cheaper there, I love it, must be one of the best games consoles out there!

Only thing with that package from tesco is there is only 1 remote and 1 motion plus sensor.
For an extra remote might as well buy wii play which comes with one for about 35 quid. The motion plus sensor will prob be about 15 quid so that adds 50 quid on to your cost.
I would buy a pre owned white one, ( I did buy one) unless you really must have it in black.
