Yes, it's for the web sites only. Some of the bundles are ridiculous, I
would stay away from any that have games you don't want or that charge more
than the standard prices. It's normal for retailers to have overpriced
bundles at a system's launch, but Wii is so popular that they are still
getting away with them over six months later.
The one I bought was from Circuit City, which was just the console and an
extra controller at suggested retail price. Got free shipping, too, not a
bad deal at all.
