GameStop has the refurbished Nintendo Wii console for $79.99


GameStop has the refurbished Nintendo Wii console for $79.99, plus $4.99 for shipping (and not including sales tax, where applicable). Of course, Nintendo's next-generation Wii U console is just around the corner, expected to arrive in time for the holidays. This raises the question: Is the original Wii a good buy, even at $80?
It remains a great source of entertainment. Kids love it, and it's still fun for parties, family game-night, and other gatherings.
What's more, not only is the console itself cheap, but so are the games and accessories. For example, you can pick up MLB Power Pros, widely regarded as one of the most entertaining baseball games for the Wii, for just $4.99. And Meritline sells a generic Wii Remote and Nunchuk for $15.99 -- items that previously would have cost you $50.
In other words, you can trick out your Wii for considerably less money, especially if you troll the likes of Craigslist and eBay for used games and such.
So I'll throw it out to you, readers: Is the Wii a good deal at $80? Or has the sun set on this particular console? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
