There was lots of cursing back and forth about GameStop's Wii Certificate program, more commonly known as the Rain Check program. Did it work? Was it lousy? Was it a scam?
Online retail monitor site I4U suggests that while it was arguably lousy, the alternative is much lousier. If you didn't get a Wii Certificate back in December, you probably won't get a Wii now without paying above MSRP or buying an expensive bundle.
Checking several Wii finder services and the online inventories of retailers, there is still no Wii console available at the standard price of $249. If the Wii is in stock then it is in an expensive bundle. 3rd party offers on Amazon and the eBay prices for the Wii are now under $400, which is a bit of an improvement over the Holiday season.
A Wii raincheck would be handy now, we actually advised against it back in December. Did you get one? If yes, please email me, if you got your $250 Wii on Friday. Update: I got some feedback of readers that got a Wii Raincheck and the deal was even much better than thought. Reader Jo N. got his Wii already 2 hours!! after he purchased the Raincheck at a GameStop store. Reader Ross D. got his on January 4th.
