My local Cash Generator (Wigan) has somehow landed its hands on at least 20 Brand Spanking new Wii`s, and they are selling them for £349.99 each, the funny thing is, my local Game & Gamestation also have Wii`s in stock and although you must buy bundles at least they arent inflating to rip off rate.

There's a shocking development, Cash Generator ripping people off. Who'd have thunk it?
I would never have believed it if I hadn't read it right here, in black and white (depends what skin you are using) with my own eyes.
Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?

I like the part where it says this:
Production depends on components from a wide array of suppliers. If only one can't increase their capacity, then we can't increase ours", said Fils-Aime.
Now surely the parts cant be that hard to obtain...Sony had serious issues with the blue laser for its blu-ray drive and all the parts in the PS3 and 360 are far superior to the parts in the Wii...So why are these parts that difficult to get hold of?
Sounds like crap, what he is saying is 'We are making tons of cash, why should we spend millions in opening another manufacturing plant?'
Anyways I bought a Nintendo Wii for £180 brand new in Zavvi its still boxed, who wants it? £230.

The REAL shocking part here is that the darn things aren't worth owning anyway. Seriously, 1 good game on the thing it's entire life (Mario Galaxy in case anyone was curious). Everything else the cube was doing just as well.
