Man this is a shame. If the U came without a pad it could have been about a $100 cheaper. That'd be crazy.
I know the pad is meant to be Wii U's differentiating factor but I have yet to see any games even from Nintendo that really makes you go WOW and think how your game couldn't be possible without the pad.
Plus devs seem to be using tablets with the new consoles to pretty much accomplish what Nintendo have done to a certain degree. Nintendo honestly seems to have dug themselves into a hole this time.
