Pre-order Wii Play for $11.49
Joseph Leray02.05.08 - 7:38 PM 71 comments

Pre-order Wii Play for $11.49 screenshot

Rush out to YesAsia to pre-order Wii Play for a whopping price of $11.49. Keep in mind that they offer free international shipping and will honor the probably-typoed price:

Q: Will my pre-order be affected if there is any adjustment in the product price?

    * If the price increases, the price of your pre-order remains unaffected.

The game, comprised of minigames, including Duck Hunt, comes with a packed-in Wiimote, which alone would run you about $45. The game is supposed to be released on Valentine's Day, so think of this as YesAsia's own way of getting into your e-panties this year. Barring that, you could always just get some chocolate.

I wouldn't imagine this price will stick around for long, so my advice to you is to hurry the hell up.

[thanks Sheir!]

Duckhunt sucks! Well, in Wii Play. It lasts about a minute and then its gone, nothing left to do. All the rest of the games are mediocre at best. Even the tank one sucks, how you can get tanks wr......

Yea, it might be changing the price, or site updates.

Me, as with others, are wishing for the latter.

I was actually on the input shipping information screen when I realized I just don't really care about a tech demo for the Wii anymore, which, from what I've read, is really all that Wii Play is.

If I didn't already have 4 controllers I'd buy it for that alone, but I really want a REAL game, not fancy toys.

The included Wii remote makes it well worth it even if you never play the game.

Yeah, but I already have 4, why would I need a fifth? That's the only thing that stopped me.

Is their server normally this slow? I've got to the "place order" screen. I do have 4 wiimotes so a 5th won't help much, but I figure maybe I can sell it for a decent price.

You monocle-wearing rich fancy pants could always give that extra wiimote to a friend. :)

Well, if the order goes through maybe I could do that. And, how did you know I wear a monocle?

Christ this "place order" page is taking a damn long time. The first time I clicked after payment information it brought me to an "error" page telling me to check the URL. Went back again and went to checkout clicked place order again and I'm still getting the loading deal. Hopefully I didn't just order three of them...

It went through... finally. I bet the Wiiplay disc is probably worth 11$ alone.

It took a while, but I got it to go through. A new Wiimote for $14 shipped? Yes please.
bhive01's Avatar
bhive01 at 02/05/2007 20:03

I think I clicked about 4 times, and it only went through once so I think you're fine.

OP of the CheapAssGamer thread here.

I hope this will go through.

Thankfully, I will not be charged for the full price if this is fixed, for I am using a $40 debit card.

Plus, I placed my orders before the traffic jam.

@ bhive01:

"Miks-yez-pit-lik", it's on my profile page for future reference. :) And yes, I was on that show but I ended up on the cutting room floor. In addition to monocle-sense and an annoying-to-pronounce name, I have the special ability to memorize information of no practical use to anyone, like first edition AD&D rules or episode titles of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

3 versions of that Fire Ant: an 11 minute short version, a 22 minute long version (where Space Ghost follows the ant back home for 10 minutes, and Table Read, which is a video of the voice cast/writers rehersing the episode.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your support of YesAsia.com.

temporarily and will be relaunching it soon with the correct price of US$54.25.

not be charged for any of the cancelled products.

Ergh, probably should have noticed that the coupon was only for 5 bucks off if I were to still buy WiiPlay from them. Then again I'd probably pay almost as much in shipping anyway. Feh, color me disappointed.

It's not that great a game, it's more novelty and a tutorial of different ways to use the Wiimote.

Although the ducks in the shooting game are a bonus.

Take those fuckers to the consumer courts or whathaveye!

Like PJ said already, it's not a superb game. Probably worth a tenner, but not much more(I wouldn't say worth getting a 5th wiimote for).

Duckhunt sucks! Well, in Wii Play. It lasts about a minute and then its gone, nothing left to do. All the rest of the games are mediocre at best. Even the tank one sucks, how you can get tanks wrong is beyond me. Just buy a remote, unless you wanna be part of something no matter how bad it is.
