It doesn't matter, if your buying a PS3, a XBOX 360, a PS3, a iPhone, Wii, or a Dsi. If your one of the first in line to buy one, you get to pay a little extra. It makes me wonder why people stand in those lines for just that privilege. I however tend to be a little late to the party, and get to play with the same toys, for less money. When it comes to getting cheap games for the Wii, I know just where to look.
If your a little patient, and don't mind not being able to add to "your collection" renting games is a smart way to go. It's an excellent way, to try out a title you may be hesitant to pay full price as well.
The other alternative, is renting by mail, with a monthly membership fee. The fee is fixed, and usually around $20 give a take a little. The nice thing is, you can play as many games as you like every month. You usually pick a game of their website, they send it to you via mail, you play it till your bored, send it back, then they send you another.
The obvious advantages to renting games is that you never get stuck paying full price for a game you only play a few times. Choice, is another advantage. The game rental companies usually have thousands of titles to choose from. Imagine, it's like having the biggest room in your house filled with nothing buy shelves and shelves of video games. That's kind of what it's like. Except, with a monthly membership, you actually get to keep furniture in that big room.
Being able to play all the games you want for one fixed price is basically how it works. As long as you play plenty of games per month, it will likely save you money.
While, everyone knows you can download games from the internet onto your PC, it seems a little less publicized, that you can do the same thing with your Wii. Their called WiiWare, and their usually pretty inexpensive. They usually go for less than $10. I think some owners are either a little reluctant to hook up their Wii to the internet, or just don't know how. It's actually pretty easy, if you already have wireless at home.
For all you young, green loving, Al-Gore-following, save the planet types, that also own a Wii, I truly hope your already buying used Wii games. Or, at least renting games. While it does keep money out of the economy, and in your pants, it also cuts down on our already excessive consumption of plastic, cardboard, Styrofoam, and other packaging materials. Seriously though, pretty much every game ever written for the Wii is on sale used somewhere.
OK, so one more suggestion here. Never, never, never wait in line to buy a Wii game. Only crazy uber geeks with no life would do that. The worst part of it all, is that you end up paying at least full price for the game. Just relax, wait a month or so, and I bet you save at least one third of the original selling price. - 23802
