With the Wii as popular as ever, sales are expected to be high again for the holidays this year. While Nintendo says there are no potential shortages expected, like last year's debacle, some retailers are already saying they can't guarantee they will have the hugely popular Wii consoles in stock every day for holiday purchases. And even if you can find the Wii console itself - will you be able to purchase the games, accessories and other items you want to have as part of your game system?

Wii bundles are the answer to getting a complete package with everything you want and need. There are great deals too when you buy a bundle - which includes the Wii console system along with the controllers and games you want. When you buy in a retail store, you can choose the accessories you want with your console, but you'll pay the highest retail prices for each item - meaning, your total purchase can cost as much as 25-30% more than buying it already bundled for you.

And where do you find a Wii bundle? Online of course! Bundle deals incorporate consoles with the games and accessories to play, such as sports games or the new Wii Fit board plus fun games to go along with it - the only limit to what's in your bundle is your imagination. With hundreds of sellers offering thousands of bundle deals, you can find exactly the right system and accessories, at a price well below what you'll pay at your local big-box electronics stores or game shop.

We recommend you browse through the selections on auction sites like eBay, where you can compare prices, items included in the bundle, shipping and return policies, to find the best deal. With this kind of variety, you can be pretty choosy. Plus, with cash at a premium today, you'll want to save as much as you can.

Here is just a tiny sample of the kinds of deals you'll find on bundles online:

- A console, 4 controllers, 4 nunchuks and 5 games, plus the Wii Fit board
- A console and 2 controller/nunchuk sets, plus 3 games for younger kids
- A Wii Fit balance board, Mario Kart, more games for adults and kids, plus all 4 controllers and nunchuks

The list just goes on and on. You can practically put together the exact system you want to buy, because online sellers do not have the same inventory restrictions as brick and mortar retail stores. In addition, prices for each individual piece will be lower, both because you are shopping online, plus you are "bundling" for better economy. When a retailer sells accessories, for example, you will pay at least 10% or more for each individual accessory you buy. When you buy everything in one package, you get savings across the board.
