Are the phone deals with free Wii an Wii fit worth it?

Question

Does anyone have one?

Answer 1

The contracts are over an 18 month or 2 year period so you end up paying for the Wii.

Answer 2

I have to say you dont get anything for free so know there is always a catch with them deals  

Answer 3

Well they certainly aren't "free" Have a look at how much you have to pay a month and for how long the contract is.

Answer 4

Avoid like the plague! They're just a rip-off.

If you want a mobile phone package then shop around and get a good one from a reputable supplier.

If you want a Wii and Wii Fit then shop around for them too.

Most bundles/deals these days are rip-offs. Always read the small print VERY carefully and treat with the utmost caution.

Answer 5

It`s only worth it if you were planning on getting a new phone contract in the first place.

Answer 6

sometimes. but the APR varies, that makes the overall cost higher the longer the contract the more you pay.

Answer 7

Personally, I dont think its worth it. They make you sign into a ridiculous contract first, which Im sure will cost you extra in the long run (which makes up for the Wii). Also, the Wiis are available on a first-come-first-serve basis, so you're not entirely guaranteed a Wii.

I would advise against it.

Answer 8

Those phone deals are basically made up from the cost of the mobile contracts monthly payments plus the cost of the Wii or whatever console split up over the length of the contract. You don't get anything free but if you want a console anyway and don't want to pay for it all in one go then it works out well, otherwise you will get a much cheaper monthly deal for just the phone.
