I swung into the Petaluma GameStop the other day to pick up a backup copy of 'Culdcept Saga' they had on hold for me. (I've taken my copy in and out of the DVD case so many times it's started to crack a bit near the spindle, can you believe it? I figured it was best to grab another while the game can still be had for $20.) While I was there, I decided to pick up Wii MotionPlus, the new Wii accessory that allows for more realistic motion tracking in games. A copy of 'Wii Sports Resort' (rated E, $50, out Sunday) arrived on my desk last week. It comes bundled with one Wii MotionPlus, but if I want to play the game with my wife or a friend, I'd need an additional MotionPlus.
Wii MotionPlus is supposed to sell for $20, but GameStop charged me $25. Unfortunately, because I was in a hurry, battling a head cold and was buying more than one thing, I didn't realize I'd paid higher than the suggested retail price until I was sitting at my desk in Santa Rosa. Then I remembered reading a couple of months ago, when GameStop first started taking preorders for MotionPlus, that they were charging more than everyone else for the peripheral. At the time, I kind of shrugged my shoulders, figured the screaming Internet hordes would generate a flood of complaints, and the price would come down by the time I actually bought one.
Well, I was wrong. GameStop is still charging a 20 percent premium for the accessory. I checked the websites for a handful of other large retailers that sell video games — Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target and Amazon — and they're all selling Wii MotionPlus for around $20. (I couldn't find a listing for the standalone device at Game Crazy's site.) So don't make the same mistake I did. If you've preordered 'Wii Sports Resort' from GameStop, pick up that extra MotionPlus somewhere else.
I suppose I should say somewhere that I have no beef with GameStop otherwise. I shop there quite frequently. And the Petaluma store seems merely to be following corporate policy. (Wii MotionPlus is also $25 at gamestop.com.) But why pay $25 when you can only pay $20.

Nintendo is working hard to keep the cost of the new Wii Motion Plus peripheral low so that gamers are able to buy as many as they need for the number of controllers they own.
That's according to Nintendo's president, Satoru Iwata, who told the Wall Street Journal that although the company hasn't yet announced a price, the Wii remote addition isn't costly to make.
Manageengine service desk cloud. 'There will be games that will be enhanced by the Wii Motion Plus as well as games that can only be played with it,' he said. 'Users will need four if they have four controllers, but we're going to try to offer it for as little as possible. We haven't announced the price yet, but the cost of making the Wii Motion Plus is not that much, so I think we can make it very affordable.'
Additionally, most of the accessories originally planned for the Nintendo Wii have now either been released or unveiled, including the Balance Board and Wii Motion Plus.
'Most of the ideas for accessories that we had initially come up with are out now,' he explained. 'We might think up some more, and we might make them if we do, but we don't have any plans to release a whole lot more.'
