The Amazon Gold Box deal at 8PM (central time) tonight was a Nyko wireless nunchuk for the Wii. I’ve been interested in this peripheral since it was first announced, but the steep $35 introductory price frightened me away. The Gold Box deal knocked $10 off the price, and Amazon had apprently taken off an extra buck somewhere else in the process, leaving me with a $24 nunchuk, and free shipping. Just four measly dollars more than a regular “wired” nunchuk. That four dollars is a easy cost to associate with the freedom of a wireless peripheral, isn’t it? I think so.

The deal is still going on, for those interested. I’ll have a review just as soon as it shows up on my doorstep.
