Yes, it's true...GameStop really is doing these bundles. I don't know what mastermind came up with this deal, but I can't see it being a huge hit. Why in the world do we need something like this?!

Ducks here

Tattoos here

Water guns here

Bah, online only...and 2 per household :(

Can't wait for someone to use the Water Gun to break the Wii. "What do you mean I was'nt supposed to use the water gun that came with it?"

All in all this reminds me of the crazy game descriptions on their pages several months ago.

Because its so darn hard to find free crap for a Wii, why not give people free crap that dosen't even go with a Wii, at least it won't be anything considered a peripheral, because then someone would complain.

'cause it's freakin' awesome? ;) Seriously - it may be cheesy, but if they're giving away freebies, why complain? That's like saying the free prize in the cereal box shouldn't be there. :)

Unreal. Buy a Wii and get a free piece of garbage you can buy at any $1 store. Great promotion, GameStop.

What an awesome incentive! Not. But hey, if GameStop needs to unload some crappy toys they've got laying around, i think we let them do so. Even if it makes them look cheesy and lame.

Atleast offer the extras all together instead of making three different bundles.

I bet it's a hacker.

I'd prefer a free skin (made-by-stickers) for the Wii, thank you very much.

-_- Well, I'd say we all know what Gamestop thinks of the Wii now.
*coughforkidscough*

Seriously though, OMG RUBBER DUCKIES!

If I didn't have a Wii yet, I would buy the rubber duck one.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Its pretty pathetic when a gaming corporation starts stereotyping systems.

Aw man I would've waited to get my Wii if I knew these bundles would come out. 2 1/2 years = worth the wait.

This is so absurd, I hope GameStop realized the ridiculousness of these bundles. I would pay extra to NOT have them send me cheap garbage.

They're trying to make Wii look like a toy - to make it look like it's for 8 year olds. And that's one way of doing it. But why?

I think we have some XBOX/SONY bots running GS. This makes no sence from a gaming perspective other than to make Wii look cheaper.

Holy crap... this is real? I read about it on IGN and thought it was a joke post. Seriously GameStop?
