    Wii Multi-Player Controller Set Costs More than the Sum of its Parts

    With little fanfare and no press release, a new Nintendo Wii Multi-Player Controller Set has appeared on at least one Target store shelf. Priced at $74.99, the set includes a Wiimote, Nunchuk and Wii Wheel. So how much money are you saving by buying your controllers in bulk? Errr...none actually.

    As one GoNintendo commenter quickly pointed out:

    Wii Wheel - $14.99
    Wii Remote - $39.99
    Nunchuk - $19.99
    __________________
    Total - $74.97

    So at Target, the collection actually costs you 2 cents more than purchasing the components alone. And if you were to find the Wii Wheel cheaper (say from Amazon, where it costs just $10), you'd be paying about $5 more for this kit than any half-assed bargain hunter. [GoNintendo]
