Do you want a Nintendo Wii? Do you like high speed internet, telephone, and TV service that includes pretty much everything outside of the NFL Sunday Ticket package (curse you DirecTV)? Well then, this “Comcastic” deal may be just what Dr. Mario ordered.

Comcast is offering up a “complimentary” Wii (while supplies last) to customers willing to sign up for a 2 year commitment to their “Triple Play” (phone, internet, and TV) service.

Of course there is some fine print. The 2 year contract comes complete with insane cancellation fees, a minimum monthly commitment of $32, and as mentioned above, the supplies are limited.

In short, if you are looking to chew and screw, this deal is probably not for you, but if you are on the market for the services, and wouldn’t mind getting a “free” Wii out of it, give them a call at 1-800-COMCAST.

Press release in full after the 2 year long jump.
