Looking to buy a Wii: levels of difficulty- Ships to Canada, takes paypal, would prefer to buy the red limited edition with a copy of super mario bros.

Our goole-fu is failing us mefites! Please help us buy a nice red Wii as our christmas present to ourselves.

Ebay is a no go, because we're looking for a reputable seller guaranteed to sell us a new console.

Response by poster: We'll also settle for a non-red Wii, so suggestions for a good place to buy one of those are welcome too.

Gamestop looks like they have it in stock, and they ship to Canada.

Crap, just noticed that it doesn't mention if they take Paypal or not.

Best Buy Canada has them

Best answer: Ok, so Best Buy doesn't have paypal.

Anyhow, we did find a solution. For those who come here wondering, we bought from
videogamesplus.ca. Paypal had suggested we try dell, but they wanted to charge us $100 for shipping, very funny, dell!

Dell.ca has the red bundle for $209 and they take Paypal. You'll get $50 off purchases of $599+ when you pay with Paypal, in fact.

Sorry, forgot to mention, Dell.ca offers free shipping on all orders.

It was free shipping, but it said something ridiculous like 28 business days. We asked if we could pay for anything faster and that's when they told us $100. Big LOL. Looks like we'll be getting in within the next 2 weeks via courier for $20 from the videogamesplus place.

Thanks all for the suggestions! It is a rare occasion than an asker figures it out before the hivemind, but it does happen, apparently. Glad I have you guys to ask though. Best $5 my friend ever spent on me.
