Buying Wii Fit

I tried a search, but both "Wii" and "Fit" are under the required minimum word size. Apologies if this is a redundant question.
My parents are going to get my little sister a Wii for Christmas, and wanted to get her Wii Fit with it. It looks like it's crazy popular, however, and prices seem a little steep. For instance, it can't be found for less that around $140 on Amazon marketplace, when the MSRP is $89.99.
Now, looking at the gamestop website, I see it's going for $120 new in a bundle. Is this the only way it's being sold, hence the inflated price, or is GS just trying to squeeze more money out of people? Or is it really just hard to find?
What would be the best place to find it? Call around to stores and hope they get new ones in, or take chances with the expensive online prices?
Thanks for the help. I'm excited to help recreate in my sister the feeling I had Christmas morning when Santa brought be a Genesis.

Isn't that illiegal?
That was going to be my next question, whether or not Wii Ski and the sleeve are worth $30-$40.
Actually, it looks like the vanilla Wii Fit + Board are in stock on Circuit City's website, but I'm hesitant to order anything from Circuit City right now.
Good idea. I'm sure they'll have some left over from the Thurs./Fri. sprees.
heres the link to their page for wii fit alerts it seems like the last time there was one open for just 89.99 was the 22nd and whatever store that was only had it in stock for 6 minutes

if you want to garuntee it, you can just get the circuit city bundle, they may run out if you wait
it's fun for the 1st few days and then it'll just sit in a corner collecting dust
The Best Buy here in Columbia Heights DC seems to have Wii Fits when I go in on Sunday afternoons after they've gotten them in stock.
Either that or buy a bundle or pay above retail on Craigslist.
I... Don't know what to say to that.
OP: Supposedly Sam's Club will have some Wii Fits on Black Friday, so you might want to research that.
I don't really want to deal with getting a Sam's Club membership and have to wait in line on Friday, so I'll check the other options.
I'm assuming you're being sarcastic here so I'll explain some things about retail to you. Stores put out their weekend ads, you'll normally get them either Saturday or Sunday. In those ads they'll have the wii fit product in them. When they do this, they make sure to carry, and refuse to sell until then, at least a few of the product so they have them for their ad day.
Basically you're more likely to find an item like this on a Sunday then on a Friday. Due to them getting them on Friday but being unable to sell them until Sunday.
Yup. You could probably make around $30-50 each if you bought them all and ebayed them.
No, I didn't mean it to be sarcastic. I meant something along the lines of what you said, but I wrote it in an inadvertently sarcastic tone. It's good to know exactly why, so thanks!
this reminds me of the time I bought my ex girlfriend an excercize dvd for her birthday as a joke. she opened it and gave me this blank stare. I was just like, "seriously". she hit me for a while until I gave her her real present.
So to answer your question:
If you come out to the boonies you're sure to find one and it will only cost you about $75
My parents love wii fit and use it every day.
I actually enjoy wii fit and use it every few days. I'm 24 years old and have a normal BMI. You don't have to be fat to use it. They have strength training excersizes on it. I can see a little kid loving some of the balance games on it. And your parents will love the yoga.
Just try calling stores and asking when they will get more. Call again the day they should arrive.
