How dare they?!

A shop where i live, CEX, is selling Nintendo Wii's at £295, totally ripping everyone off, are stores aloud to do this, or would they usually have to stick by Nintendo's guidline, this same shop in the UK also has a playable PS3 (import), is their anything i could do to get them done or something lol, it hacks me off when they've got 5 WII's behind the counter yet are charging £295, crazy, i understand the supply & demand but as a retailer are they allowed to do this?

Note: Look how many Wii's there stores have.

Yes, they are, Tyzer.

The RECOMMENDED retail price is £179, however retailers can sell them for 1p to £1m, but obviously they are losing money if they sell for less than £180.

It's annoying, yes, but it's worth it for £300, btw.

OUTRAGE!

THEY HAVE LOADS!

But at that price they ain't going anywhere.... by the way for USA people thats about $580.............. idiots... i hate them!

Maybe you should go round to your store and ask them how many they sold and if they say none... maybe you could strike up a deal with them.... ....... or maybe not...

re: How dare they?!

A pretty popular store, Fingerhut (where you pay a monthly fee for an item instead of paying the full price at one time) is selling their game systems waaaay over the retail price. I believe they had a Wii for $500, X-Box 360 for $700, and a PS3 for $900. That is, may I remind you, without a bundle. I know that stores like GameStop has a bundle for a Wii with about 5 games, with the total price being around $600.
