All the ones around me gave me that error and refunded when i tried to process through PayPal. Weird. Good snag if you can get it. I have the Wii version on my "want" list so was excited for this initially.

Yeah me too. I'm not going out looking for Wii titles but for a dollar why not. I also couldn't find a copy

Wii / 3DS Angry Birds Star Wars now back to $19.99 :?
I just checked again, the Wii version on the TRU Ebay site is now match the regular TRU site.

Confirmed the other two stores that could not process due to the pricing error; shows a refund in my PayPal account. The stores still show inventory, since I had already ordered, a second transaction would not work. Either the stores are in fact out or the system did not allow an additional order to prevent from accidental duplicate purchase mouse clicks.

I suspect all orders are now locked out due to the pricing error. Did anyone else get lucky? I really should have ordered ten each on the initial order, ah well. :?:

Wii Angry Birds Star Wars Game Play
As I guesstimated, the Wiimote a good controller emulating the mouse of the PC version. Hold the bird on the slingshot with the A or B button, drag with steady point control to aim and stretch the slingshot, then release button to launch. Dpad controls zoom and camera scroll. The controls very intuitive and no waggle needed. :D

Screenshot of the oops price; the Wii and 3DS versions are now relisted to $19.99.

For anyone who is interested the Logitech Wii Speed Force Wireless Wheel is $14.75 with prime shipping on amazon right now. Amazon Warehouse also has a few used ones for a few bucks cheaper. To bad it only works on a hand full of games but I still might pick one up couldn't see them getting much cheaper given the cost of shipping.

Great price!

I bought one there when it was $19.95 shipped from one of the 3rd party sellers at that Amazon site. It shipped with original packaging inside the original Logitech outer shipping box. There are only four games that work with it, my earlier Video Games Finds post:

Only four Wii games are supported though. :?

Need for Speed: Undercover by Electronic Arts
Formula One 2009 by Codemasters
SpeedZone by Detn8 Games
Dirt 2 by Codemasters

Wii F1 2009 Formua 1 $39.99 19.99 $11.96
:shock:
A very pricey title at Amazon! This game at Gamestop was RETAGGED FROM NEW TO USED! The new tag was on the binder edge dating from Nov-17-2009! The used tag shows the game on the shelf since Aug-07-2013, was very lucky to get this! F1 Formula 1 had a one time print run for sale exclusive at only Gamestop! It even supports an actual Wii Logitech (not Wiimote mount) driving controller. Since there is also a Classic Controler option, with a Mayflash adapter I can use a variety of Playstation driving Controlllers. :idea:

That F1 Formula 2009 game peaked at $244 on Amazon when I first posted the quote above. It has since come down in price. Gamestop still has the same price of $19.99. I have all four games, Speed Zone actually plays very well with the Logitech Wheel.

Just bought a backup wheel! The Wii has two USB ports, maybe get lucky with a different channel Logitech bluetooth wheel bought over a year later? It will be interesting if I can get two of the steering wheels to work! :mrgreen:

In what could possibly be the last "new" Wii title I purchase, I grabbed Rhythm Heaven Fever at Target today for $14.99. This was definitely one originally on my radar back in 2012.

...so, years ago, Gamestop quietly liquidated their Gamecube stock. granted, a lotta loosies, but i got some absolute gems at 75% off, and sometimes more, meaning half my shelf were $1 or so. it was a great time!

then a few years back, they quietly did the same with PS2 stuff. same results: i'm still sifting though stuff like Gitaroo Man, GrimGrimoire etc.

both times, it was the begging of the year (January). anyone else wondering when Wii stuff is getting dumped? i feel like keeping an eye on CAD, they're usually good for this. granted, i have most of what i'd want, but there's stuff like Little King Story that i'd dig on the cheap.

Wii is still playable on the Wii U and still somewhat sells so I wouldn't necessarily expect it to go right now. I think you'll continue to see B2G1 discounts on last gen stuff for a while first.

eh you're prolly right, just figure they likely can't wait to dump some of that stock...maybe 2017?
man, whenever they let PS3/360 go, that'll be a feast

There's a list on the previous page of ones they've already heavily discounted. Could be a sign of more to come.
