I know even GameStop got into the scalping it seems... I just want to go to a store and buy it semi-impulsively. The guy at a GameStop said we have them in our warehouse and I can sell you one for $600.

Ok nope I'll wait and there's only one game to play and none schedule to come out for months minus re-hashes of Wii U games.

On a different note..I bought the Wii U for my niece and nephew and MARIO Chase alone is tons of fun; money well spent.

You mean its apart of a $600 bundle. You are getting items which add up to $600 so it not scalping in that sense.
You are forced to get items which add up to $600, when you only wanted part of the bundle. That feels like taking advantage of people. They did that to me when I went to buy the first xbox.
If the things you want aren't worth the price, you don't buy it. no one is taking advantage of you; no one has a gun to your head.
They were the only ones who still had them in stock, because of their deal. I was a sucker because I couldn't be bothered to wait, and a learned a valuable lesson.
Items whose list price add up to $600 but no one would actually buy at that price.
