Wii costs just about the same everywhere.
The basic starter package, w/ the system, one controller, one nunchuck, and the Sports game -- haven't seen it new for less than $240.00.

Am I looking in the wrong places?

1. You are actually lucky to find them. They can be scarce.
I doubt you will find them for less than that.

2. Last weekend I was at Costco and there was a boatload of them.
Hmm. They'll prolly be gone by the time I can get one. They were $245 there.

7. I think that is pretty much the cost of them.
That is what I paid for mine 2 years ago. The cost hasn't gone down.

8. $250 is about the best I've seen them go for
They're not in stores because Ebay assholes buy them all up to resell. When I was shopping for a Wii back in January they weren't available in stores or online and they were going on Ebay for $350-400 on average. I figured it was just an after Christmas low inventory situation and decided to wait it out a bit. I got mine online from Gamestop in mid February for $250 plus shipping. You might even get one cheaper on Ebay if you luck out because now that they're available again, people aren't going to bid more than the retail price on them.
