Wii console carry case

[aboylikeme]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a shop/website where I can get a reasonable priced carry case for my Wii console?

I have found one on Amazon but it is £25, which is too much, plus it has "Wii" plastered across the front of it...it may as well say "Mug me!"

Thanks in advance for you help.

I went in to GAME the other day and picked up the official Wii bag that was priced up at £29.99 (which i thought was far too high) as it was the only bag I could find...

When I got to the till they had fetched the wrong bag and just as they were about to get the correct one, I asked what the 'wrong' one was... it was their own version of a bag for the Wii at half the price!

Needless to say I handed over my £14.99 and took their own branded one instead.

They also sell it online at game.co.uk as well.

Yeah i bought the official bag.... bloody rubbish... it JUST manages to hold the consol, two wiimotes and the power supply.... any more than that and the wimot buttons are pressing against things and draining battery life...


Save your money... get a Tesco carrierbag...

Cheers for that; will have a look at my local store tomorrow.

Post Script... Other supermarkets carrying vessels are available

Hi!

With the bag I got from Game I can fit in the console (with all the cables) the power adaptor, 4 controllers, 4 nunchuks and 1 classic controller.

Basically all the hardware just about fits in the bag.

No room for any of the games disks though. :(

For the games I brought the official Wii game case from play. com at £9.99 (shop price £14.99). It has a clip on it so I can hang it of the console bag.

Looks like you got the best deal all round then...

Yep...looks like a good deal.
Gamestation also do 3rd party funky looking retro carry bags (with "rubber" badges on the front ) if you're looking for any more (can't remember the price though, i remember they were pretty cheap)

Can't find them on the gamestation website but here are piccies from another site:




There are others like "retro ninty controller" and "ms pacman" available too.

EDIT: they're £15 a piece
