Part of this is the pieces you mentioned - lack of redesign, no GCN compatibility, part is the other Wii bundles out there right now. Best Buy had a Black Wii w/New Super Mario Bros for $99, that's basically a new wii for $65.
Wait! This Blue Wii doesn't contain a pack-in game like the Black Wii minus??? O_o
No pack in game. They are just banking on the fact that this is supposed to be the only day this color is available.

The black Wii with Mario bundle is $150 on Amazon, I thought that was the normal price. Best Buy must have a sale price on it. $100 for a Wii is a good deal in my opinion. A "Wii Minus" isn't a bad idea, in my opinion, either. As it has been said before (in different threads) it's not like this isn't the first console to remove features and sell at a lower cost. I admit though, it IS pretty lame that it's the same case with the Gamecube flaps glued shut, that's pretty cheap-o. How much could it have possibly cost to redesign the case a little?

That's the point. It's not being sold at a lower price. The previous Wii model was sold for 150 with mario kart and the wii wheel AND GCN compatability.

It has built in wi-fi and has the wii motion plus already....just no gamecube compatability.
And that the "wii" on the front of system is horizontal so the system sits horizontal.

Can you return a Black Friday item when there's nothing wrong with it?

I own a wii but purchasing one these days is a rough call. I have yet to see the blue one, but I would stick with the gamecube if I did it all over.
