We picked up Super Mario Wii and are looking at getting one of the "band" games for our Wii.

So, we have 2 Wii Remotes (white) and Nunchuks right now, but when I go to stores to get 2 more Wii Remotes, there are NO white ones in stock, and my only option is the new black one with the WiiMotion Plus built in for an extra $10.. Even then, most stores are either sold out or have 1 in stock only.

What gives? Why the shortage? I really don't care to get the WiiMotion Plus piece at this point... Maybe if it was white. Not that I don't like black, but when everything else for the Wii is white, it seems stupid to have 2 remotes that are black... Then, if I ever had a game that can really utilize the motion plus, but needs a nunchuk, I've got a black controller with a white nunchuk... LAME!

Are they phasing out the white controllers altogether?

And again, why the shortage?
