Has anyone been able to score a wii Fit for under $90 Dollars?
Where? How?
I know every store sells these things and I am going to buy one very soon, but I can't figure out how I can get it on a deal.
Best Buy Coupons? Circuit City? Help
Best buy coupons usually exclude the wii and the wii fit actually. I have not found any way to get it under 89.99 aside from getting 2 and selling one at a premium. That's what I did, and sold one for $139. After shipping and fees, I guess I made $25 on it, so that's my coupon.

At launch, Best Buy had a $10 off $75 coupon for video games, which worked on the wii fit, so I got mine for $80 then. Otherwise, if you sign up for a credit card at target, I think you get 10% off your first purchase? 10% off helped when getting the Wii and PS3 when they first came out, but I don't know if that's still available.
Be prepared to pay MSRP for something like this. Then again, if it's worth MSRP to you (sometimes it's worth more, as NARC pointed out that somebody paid extra $50 to get one), don't kick yourself if you didn't save a few bucks off of it.
good luck! I just found out I have to find a wii Fit and so far it's as hard as finding a wii was last year!!

This thing is so hard to find, getting it for $90 IS a deal!
I preordered at Amazon, then canceled the preorder because I wasn't sure it was worth $90, then got a chance to play it and regretted canceling it..
it was just in stock at TRU. By the time I registered and signed in to buy it- poof! gone!
TRU wants $14.xx for shipping...I hope I find one at Circuit City or Amazon anyway.

Yeah, I actually passed on it at TRU.com a few months ago because of that ridiculous shipping cost. And there's no discount for ordering multiples!
I guess i'm in a different region then most of you, in terms of trouble with quantity.
Although it goes fast when it is in-stock, (just like the wii console's did /do), every store seems to get them in at least once a week.
The best buy guy tells me that If i show up on a tuesday or wednesday after they get there truck or ups/fed ex, then I wont have a problem scoring 1.
B.Buy & TRU have been getting 3 or 4 units to sell every week. I haven't checked walmart.
I heard TRU HAS to have some in stock for this sunday's sales ad. (Tomorrow). They had to hold the past 2 weeks of shipments, so they would have it for the new sales week, starting tomorrow.
My friend that works at toysrus says his store only has like 4 or 6, but he is in a very small store/town.
Thanks for all the tips. I guess if i can get it for 90 + tax, then I shouldn't regret it.

Don't always believe everything the stores tell you. I have stores feed me so much crap about them. Getting them is possible yes but its not always an easy task.
ohman we got
sooo lucky today!! decided to venture out and go to all the stores that carry it- our first stop was Target and they had 1 left!! w000t!!
I am sooo done for Cmas!!
How is your hunting going? It's going to be MSRP anywhere. wmspringer is right as far as my region goes. it's still the same for wii as well! this is probably the best time to be trying to get one, before everyone else is even thinking Christmas.
good luck!
i was talking to the guy at gamestop the other day. He said that there is actually no shortage of wii fits and wiis. What nintendo is doing is that they are sending most shipments to europe so they can make more money.
Toys-R-us had 30 wii fits this weekend for sale, but I wasn't willing to wait in line an hour or hour & 1/2 before store opened to get one.
They have / had plenty of wii consoles, Most stores around here do. Many people in line were there for both.
I only could find a $5 off $50 Purchase/or more for a coupon to use while buying the wii fit. went to kmart, guy said he had 2 or more in stock, but wouldn't sell it to me. :-( some were on hold (layaway) and the others were all being held for the 17th Sales Ad.

Makes sense, if they really are selling it for E90 there - that's like another 50% markup!

I so would have called a manager, and another, until they sold me one. W-M tried to pull that on me for the wii and I ended up getting it that way. I wouldn't back down and finally a manager said, if it "rings up in the system" then they would sell it to me. I did have that computer right there in electronics saying they had some in stock at that store.
