*Now that we have your attention, JB HiFi is running a deal which allows Wii owners to get their hands on Mario Kart Wii without forking out any cash at all. Nothing in this world that is worth having is free though, and as such you are required to trade in two of your old Wii games.

Be sure to check the list of games that don’t count as a trade-in for this offer before you head to the store.
