I was the second person at my local GameStop to preorder Thursday morning! Glad I didn't have shit to do yesterday or I would have been pissed as hell when they sold out! I got the Deluxe Edition along with Mario U and ZombiU. Thanks Giving is going to be fucking awesome this year!

I will buy one eventually. As of right now i have no dough or time for it. I am interested and I am a huge Nintendo fan, but I will give it a few years. Definitely not buying it near launch. Paid 250 for a 3DS to only have it go down 80 dollars in price, so I do not plan on buying a console at launch ever again haha. Still, I will definitely jump on board by the time the next Smash Bros. releases.

I already pre-ordered it "the premium system, and i have $180AUD paid on it along with 10 bucks paid on Pikimin 3 so far.

the games i am interested in is Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors Edge.. now i know what you are thinking, why not buy it on ps3.. yes i have a ps3 and 360 but i want the game on the WiiU because of the controller and i heard team ninja say that it will have exclusive features on the WiiU.. i have no interest in batman and AC3 because of the fact i don't really give a rats ass about those franchises..

Soon.

Hmm, I ordered from Play.com and Amazon.uk in the past, and they deliver to germany without a problem. Does that work for these two too? If I recalculate the prices to Euro, I' mostly near 50€, that's much better than 70€. Anyways, I would wait until final prices are here, to see if it really is that high. I'm asking myself, how these two can discount the prices, if they probably not know yet how much they will pay to Nintendo. But thanks for the hint. As the console and games are launching, I will look back into it and deciding where to buy.

I'll buy Wii U as soon as possible.

I wasn't planing too yet. I can tell it would get kind of expensive, cause I would have to get a classic controller too, and I would probably want a wiimote with m+ build in, as mine are the accessory.

So as long as I have plenty of other games to play, I will wait. I haven't *needed* anything they showed yet.

Well you have to order in pounds because the conversion rate paypal or your credit card institute apllies are always more favourable than zavvi's own.

For example, Zavvi has Tekken Tag 2 Wii U Edition for 27,95 GBP and convert it to 37,49€, but if you order in GBP paypal will convert it to ~35€

Mmmm, dilemma.

Apparently, here in the Netherlands (at least, don't know if it's the same in the rest of Europe), you also have an extra Premium Bundle with ZombiU and the Pro-Controller instead of NintendoLand. An online retailer has pre-orders up, and lists three SKUs; the two standard ones and one with ZombiU. Physical retailers here don't have pre-orders up yet.

What to buy?

#Premium Bundle 1 (the real one)
-- with NintendoLand for €349
-- Buying ZombiU separately for €59
-- Pro-Controllers aren't up yet, but if the same as Wii Classic Controller than for €24
TOTAL: at least €435

OR:

#Premium Bundle 2
-- with ZombiU and Pro-Controller for €399
-- Buying NintendoLand separately for €59
TOTAL: €460

Mmmm, looks like the Pro Controller will be more expensive than the Wii's Classic Controller was, otherwise the ZombiU bundle is overpriced.

First world problem right here .
