The Black Wii U looks better than the White Wii U.

Thanks for the reply. I was actually doing some early morning errands, found myself across the street from GameStop. Walked in, asked about the preorder and he said what we all know, the premium was sold out but they were still taking orders on the white one. Maybe he was making a sale, or maybe he's on the same page as I am ... either way, everything he said is what I was thinking to myself. Basically, all you get is a stand and a game for $50 extra and more storage. The storage isn't an issue, as he confirmed it will take any HDD. And while I'm with you, Nintendoland will be a must own for me, it'll be a while before I get to it (Like I did with Wii Sports) I was too busy playing Twilight Princess as my first game. This time, I'll be busy with Zombiu.

He confirmed they would sell it as a stand alone game, currently listed at $60 in their system. But he feels it'll go down to $50 ... this is Nintendo however. I'm quite certain you get the game for $50 only if you buy the premium console, everyone else $60.


The biggest reason to get the Nintendo Delux is Nintendo Network Premium. This is a service exclusive to Deluxe models, which gives you credit for every eShop game you buy. This credit can be put towards other games in the future, and the more you spend the more you get. Given that retail titles will be available for download, including every Nintendo title, it's a very big reason to spend the extra $50. I know thats why I did.

You know what would be cool?

WiiU bombing at launch. That way, those people who bought 4 WiiUs end up with a product you can find everywhere and thus, end up losing money.


The stores from which they purchased the systems very likely have a 30-day return policy; more than enough time to return the systems without incurring a loss.

Oh wow... it really is a riskless money-making venture. No wonder it's so goddamn popular... 

I feel like stores must be doing something to prevent this (like only one console per household, etc.)?

Indeed. I just checked all our (Swedish) online retailer and it was sold out everywhere here as well.

what? i just kollade cdon.com och de säger inget om att man inte får förboka. bokade själv en svart Wii U den 14de


Hmm... It seems that du har rätt. Jag råkade anta att "inget i lager" innebar "inget kvar att boka" :P

 

Edit: WHAT THE FUCK! The basic version goes on sale for 3500 kr??? ($531) That's ridiculous!!!



yeah it is! that should be the premium price! :-/

I mean Wii was 2600kr when I got it so that's about a 1000kr (about $120) extra which is unfair as it just increased 50 too a 100 dollars in the US!

I hope the goes down at elgiganten so I can change my order later
