Gamestop to Public: We Have Lost Our Damn Minds

Just in time for summer, Gamestop is offering the worst Wii bundles of all time. Yes, worse than the $1200 shovelware bundles available at system launch.

The first bundle, Summer Fun, comes with the Wii, a Wiimote, and a Nunchuk for $249.99. And it comes with a free squirtgun. No, not a Super Soaker--this piece of crap that the dollar store is too embarrassed to carry. If this would make you order your Wii from Gamestop, might I interest you in the deed to the fabulous Brooklyn Bridge?

Seriously, what marketing genius came up with this one?

More ridiculous bundles after the jump.

Please also enjoy the Pirate Tattoo Bundle. Same deal as above ($249.99), except this one comes with a free pirate tattoo sleeve. Yes, you can pull this hideous piece of inked pantyhose over your thin, pale arms while you pretend to enjoy Wii Bowling. Don't get too excited, though: tat style and color may vary.

Your final bundle is the Take a Bath with a Buddy Bundle. No, I didn't make this up. This is the actual name Gamestop has assigned to this bundle that comes with a free, most likely lead-laced, rubber duckie. This is a console marketed primarily at children. Does Gamestop promote underage, underwater sex? We give you the facts, you decide.

to all gamers stop buying at gamestop your only encouraging their sleaziness and habit of ripping off gamers i swear that this company is also screwing the game companies that make these games buy gamestop making most of their money from trade ins at super low pay offs the developers of the games don't see a dime of the games used games that are getting resold. when i get into the industry i would try to promote the game developers to reconsider supporting gamestop
