Details: EBGamestop’s $699 Wii preorder

Gamespot announces that EBGamestop’s websites will only be selling Twilight Princess with the Wii bundle, and then goes on to break down the bundle’s pricing:
Besides the $250 console package (the Wiimote, Nunchuk controller, power and AV cords, sensor bar, stands, and the game Wii Sports) the bundle will contain six games: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Red Steel, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, and Madden NFL 2007. Gamespot explains that normally, each Wii game costs $49.99–meaning that the value of the console and six games is roughly $549.93. In addtion, the bundle includes an extra Wiimote controller ($39.99) and 1.0GB Wii Memory SD Card ($59.99). The addition of the duo brings the bundle’s value to $649.91–$44.97 less than its pre-tax-and-shipping price tag.
So what’s with the extra $45? The bundle also includes a 12-month product replacement plan and a 12-month “gift” subscription to Game Informer magazine. GameStop.com sells the latter for $19.98, leaving the cost of the 12-month product replacement plan–which is normally optional–at $24.99. Hopefully, if you already subscribe to Game Informer, that subscription will just add a year on to your current subscription.
