Chicago's NBC 5 reports that the Better Business Bureau is now "challenging" Toys R Us on it's apparent practice of forcing bundles on people who come in to buy a Wii.

We first reported on the Toys R Us Wii bundle scam back on xxx, in a broadcast story today, a spokeswoman for the toy retailer said that the issue was not one of false advertising, but rather a "misunderstanding."

She said consumers like the Achims should have been able to buy the Wii at that advertised price, despite what they were told inside stores.

The spokeswoman added that consumers who were screwed by stores will get the advertised price straight away, though she doesn't point out how that will happen.

The station's report goes on to quote a bunch of angry consumers and even points out that bloggers are irrate. Specifically bloggers on Kotaku. That's right, the video actually shows our site. Sweet, huh? Brian Crecente
