Sucks to hear about the run around they gave you. I usually have decent experiences when I go to Frys. I like it a lot more than Best Buy. You should have been like hold up I'm calling Reggie right now in the store. Pretty false advertising and I send an email to Frys complaining. Maybe you could persuade them to send you a gift card for a certain amount which you feel cheated. Be like I'll never shop at Frys again unless I get some sort of in store compensation for this cheap tactic that one of your stores used!

Wtf, why did you accept it?

I'd just walk away and buy it somewhere else.

Yeah... the sad part about Best Buy going out of buisness is that somehow Fry's and HH Greg are a thousand times worse... which is saying something.

Im about to get my Wii U set up. The only thing im really bumed about is the smaller amount of GB. You guys think 8GB is enough?

You know, you could try to sell it on Ebay and get a Delux version for yourself. You would be selling a system you know that works.

Or you could keep it and be happy. Either way I think it was wrong of the reseller.

fry's is a good place to return merchandise. thats what i see everytime i go there. they probably sell used stuff as new too.

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the Wii U supported external storage? In that case you could get a lot more than 32GB for $100 and attach it to your Wii U. I have an external hooked up to my original Wii, but you have to get homebrew on it.

Indeed, only it's much more than you even suggest. I just purchased this 500GB HDD from amazon. $67.82.

External Harddrives are super cheap. Microsoft and Sony (although you can use a third party HDD for your PS3, I believe, but not your Vita) purposely rip your wallet open for their HDD in order to help recoup costs from selling the console at a loss. Nintendo doesn't, which is nice!
