GameStop charging $25 for MotionPlus
GoNintendo —
... Earlier today, we saw that Nintendo put the MSRP for the MotionPlus at $20. GameStop has taken that suggestion and added $5 to it. Time to order yours off of Amazon! Thanks to JetPilot for the heads up. Link Posted April 14th, 2009 at 1:13 pm | ...
GameStop demonstrates 1:1 'gouging' motion for MotionPlus
Joystiq [Nintendo] —
Did you buy a Zapper from GameStop? Then you paid $5 over MSRP, just for the "privilege" of being able to visit GameStop (unless you bought it used, of course). It appears that the retailer will employ the same pricing scheme of "$5 over what it's supposed to be" for the MotionPlus attachment. GameStop's website currently lists the peripheral at $24.99, $5 over the price announced this morning. The retail listing uses an image matching the new appearance of the device (inside a new, larger Wii remote jacket), suggesting ...

PSA: GameStop Selling Wii Motion Plus For $25 (Spoiler: It's Only $20)
G4 TV - TheFeed —
GameStop appears to be selling Wii Motion Plus for $24.99 when its MSRP is $19.99. Is this a computer error or conscious attempt to gouge Wii owners on the new peripheral?
Luckily, GameStop is correctly pricing the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Wii Motion Plus bundle at $59.99, which is, of course, the only way to buy Wii Motion Plus.
If you got hit for $25 buying Motion Plus at a GameStop, I suggest you head in and get your $5 back. You'll probably end up putting it down for a game reservation that ...
