When I reported on the Toys R Us Wii preorder sellouts, I thought that was going to be it. But not so fast, it would now appear - GameStop is pulling out all the stops for one more go at preorders for Nintendo's innovative console, but this time you'll have to go online to gamestop.com to get in on the deal... and it could be as costly as one held recently on Wal-Mart's website in which a five-hundred plus USD bundle was sold out within a day - and on a recent Friday if I remember correctly.

Details concerning the GameStop bundle are currently sparse, but according to the latest issue of the videogame reseller's email newsletter the bundle is purported to include "the best games, accessories and more in one convenient package delivered right to your door - all for under $699 plus tax and handling." The bundle will be offered on Thursday, November 9 at "a limit of 1 Wii bundle per household, limited to US delivery only," with only limited quantities available - meaning that once again, you'll have to act fast to get your preorder in before the bundle is sold out.

I'll try to have more information as it becomes available, so stay tuned!

    Oops, I should have said "clicking." Man, do I wish we had edit buttons for comments.
