I'm not really a huge fan of GameStop as their trade in value for video games is a ripoff, but every now and then they come through with some good stuff. In this case it's the leaked image of the black Nintendo Wii due out this month (May). A GameStop employee leaked the photo of the black Nintendo Wii even though GameStop was instructed to not display the black Wii until May 4th. The black Wii is expected to hit shelves in the US on May 9th before arriving in Canada on May 23rd.

The new black Nintendo Wii will be a $200 bundle that'll include Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and the Wii MotionPlus. If you're in the market for a Wii, you should definitely wait a week or so until this bundle emerges -- looks like a great deal! Wonder if the homebrew channel will be able to install on this new Wii. We'll have to wait and see.. :)
