This morning’s Metro reports that Wii bundles are being sold for a more than £1000 as Christmas looms and desperate parents continue to pay over the odds for the console.

While the frenzy has calmed a little - a quick look at the auction site this morning sees the consoles selling for around £250 – there is still huge demand for the Wii. It is also the most searched for item on ebay.co.uk, with nearly 30,000 searches recorded.
