- Bundles
What are the best bundles around currently? I'd like Wii Sports, and probably Mario Kart as it looks fun, it'd probably be worth also having four controllers so all my flatmates can play.
I'd prefer physical shops rather than online if possible, don't want to wait for it to get lost somewhere, or have it delivered to work.

1) You really need component with the wii, the increase in picture quality is more than noticeable. I would invest in a component cable to use with your TV if that is an option, An third party one will probably cost you about £15. With your PC the composite looks like your only option
2)
Wii - Hardware - Hardware Bundle at GAME.co.uk
Wii bundle at woolworths
Wii bundles do not really represent much value, the GAME bundles are not saving you any money, and where they are you are only talking £10.
The woolies bundle saves you £15, but that is only with sega superstar tennis.
This GAME bundle
Wii Console with Mario Kart, Wii Play and Extra GAMEware Wheel - Online Exclusive Bundle (Wii) - free UK delivery at GAME.co.uk
saves you £6, but gives you a lot. Enough for 2 player Mario kart.
It may be worth checking blockbusters, they tend to have good bundles. As the wii still sells so well there is no need for retailers to offer the kind of savings you see on MS and Sony consoles.
If you go with the GAME bundle for £254.49, you are looking at £60 for another 2 wii remotes, and £45 for three more nunchucks -you need to buy both seperetly to make use of up to four players in most games. So £359 before you have bought the component cable or any other games. Games are £30 on average per title.
