GameStop slaps $10 'handling charge' on Wii Fit pre-orders

shuandrew | 13 days 20 hours ago | News | Wii 
In a move that will ramp the price of Wii Fit for some North American consumers to $100, GameStop has included a $10 'handling charge' on its pre-orders for the upcoming Wii title when pre-ordering from its website.
This is a bit of a strange one, and something we can't see many consumers agreeing with. It seems that retailer GameStop is charging a non-refundable handling fee of $9.99 USD when purchasing Wii Fit online, bumping the price up from $89.99 to $99.99.

    Normally its about 4-5 USD to have a game shipped directly to your house, so $10 really isn't that bad.

    Shipping and "Handling" you know?

    It isn't really something to complain about since the packaging is heavier and larger
