Get mine tomorrow, hope it comes before I go to work :)

I assume it's the ZombiU pack in the sig? I went past my local store and they said they were completely out of everything. The demo kits in particular were creating a lot of buzz...

It most certainly is, and yes I'm keeping the box it looks awesome!

I feel sad now for getting the NintendoLand bundle and ZombiU seperately after seeing such a great box for it...I'm sure the game will be great (which has a terrible boxart TBF) and that's the key.

Got the day off work for mine, so I hope it arrives early!

Are these game load times between screen in game? Or is it internet load times?

Neither i thin, as those were fine IMO. The slowdown I think came when you moved in and out of programs on the OS - say going from Miiverse to the Friends List, or the Friends List to Netflix or a Game. Once you're in the program, howver, whether it be the internet browser, a game or Miiverse, the Wii U worked fine with no slowdown.

Local retailer claimed it shipped yesterday. No one came to the house to deliver today. Stuck twiddling my thumbs over the weekend. Should have opted for the store pickup option.
