Wait. I thought the Wii U was supposed to be priced well.

Now The top model which comes with only 32 gb HDD. ( WTF? 32 gb )

Is 309.99 GBP. No games.

An extra controller is 109.99 GBP

And a game is 49.99 GBP. 

Now for me to buy a Wii U which I was considering at Crimbo with 2 controllers and 1 game is 469.97GBP ( About $752 US ).

WTF?????

I would have at least expected 1TB HDD and a bundle for around 350 GBP. Not Approaching PS3 launch price in my country with a controller and game. I could get a PS3 on launch day with an extra controller and game for 499 GBP in 2006. 

This is putting me right off. To have 4 Wii U controllers it will cost me 329.97 GBP on top of the original Console price.

 

DISGUSTING.

You seem confused.

It's £300 with a game (Premium). This model has 32 GB flash memory, 10% discount on digital downloads, Gamepad charging dock, console stand and Nintendo Land (the game that comes with it).

£250 with no game and less memory (Basic). 8 GB flash memory.

There's also a third SKU, the ZombiU edition. It's £320 and is the same as the premium but it comes with ZombiU instead of Nintendo Land. It also comes with a Wii U Pro controller.

All SKU's also come with a HDMI cable.

You don't use 4 tablet controllers to play multiplayer on the Wii U.

What you use to play 4 player multiplayer is: 1 Wii U gamepad (tablet that comes with the console) + 3 Pro Contollers or 3 Wii Remotes or a mix between the two. Some games like Nintendo Land can support up to 5 players.

This is the Pro Contoller:

Also £50 a game seems wrong. I think you need to stop shopping at GAME because they are extortionists. Wii U games are £40 or lower everywhere else.
