Bundle Console
Is the designation of a percentage of Wii consoles as bundle-only illegal?
As you may or may not know, Nintendo’s new “Wii” console is extremely popular, to the point that new shipments sell out within a few hours of stores opening after they arrive. Part of the reason for this is that Nintendo is just simply unable to keep up with the demand. The other other reason is a bit more sinister: several retailers, most notably EB Games and Gamestop, have designated a percentage of their Wii consoles to be sold only as part of a “bundle,” in which a customer must pay a premium over the console’s MSRP, and in return recieves a few extra games and accessories, usually equal to the regular combined price of all the items, and presumably to force customers to buy games they otherwise would not just to get the console. Obviously, this is seen as a devious practice to customers who are unable to afford anything more than the console itself, expecially with demand so high(you can’t find the console any other way), but is it illegal? What can be done about it?
You can always sell the extra game you don’t want on eBay or sell it to someone who really wants the games.
