Not to mention that the bundle is not interesting at all. I have not seen a Zelda bundle anywhere, or a Mario bundle. Hey look! I am far enough down so that most will not even read this far. Who wants to be that we will get a few people stating that they just saw 20 Wii U Mario and Zelda bundles at the local store they went to? It will happen.... Anyways, I have been to multiple retailers and have noticed this. |
Something similar is happening in my country. The stores still have a few original deluxe bundles and even 1 or 2 ZombiU bundles, and they want to bring the new one (specially the Mario one) with the new price, but they don't want to sell their existing inventory at reduced prices, so they are stuck, can't move the old ones and can't get the new ones.
Some grey market retailers were likely with the same issue, but made a drastic choice, they started to sell the deluxe bundle at cost to eliminate their inventory and bring the new models for the holiday; since that change, I have 4 different friends buy their console (original deluxe) at a a very competitive price (330 U$) instead of the usual 400 U$ that cost in the grey market of my country, and way bellow the 500 U$ price asked in the oficial stores.
