At one point
Tony Hawk: Shred – Nintendo Wii was released to a lot of fanfare. Tony Hawk himself participated in the design of the skateboard controller, and it seemed like this would be the first of many skateboarding titles for the Wii.

Unfortunately, consumers weren’t quite willing to shell out the money for it (at one point it was going for over $80), and those who did get it found the setup and calibration to be frustrating. On the other hand, die-hard Tony Hawk fans and skateboarding fans seemed to like it.

My guess is that Best Buy just wants to clear them out of their stores right now to make room for Christmas 2011 inventory (notice that it’s available for free in-store pickup only, not shipped). So if you’re looking for a great deal for the boarder in your life, jump on this one!
