If that was here in US I would be hitting the purchase button right now.

Awww dam, I just bought one for $200 like 3 days ago, oh well $200 is still a good price.

Thing is, flash memory is kinda expensive.

Use the savings to buy a Harddrive, I just saw a 500GB external harddrive at Staples for $45.

Sequel to Wii mini ofcourse. I don't really plan to buy digital content on Wii U other virtual console games from 90's. So even the measely 3 GB free space is alright. If someone is planning to buy quite a bit of digital content then even 32GB deluxe space falls short. External hard drive would be required for anything. I hope they allow SD card storage in Wii U mode as i think you can use those for storage in Wii mode. 

I'm pretty sure USB thumbdrives work, idk about backing up data on PC.

Good question but i am not sure yet. You would think it would be possible as it makes sense but with Nintendo you never know. Might have to consult "tbone" on that one haha. 

Are you talking about disc games needing to be installed?  I'm pretty sure no Wii U disc based games need to be installed...as of right now.

Well I'm not 100% sure, so I looked it up, this is all I could find on the subject.  If the games needed to be installed I'm sure I would have been able to find some articles or something on the matter.

If the US had these crazy Canadian Wii U deals you wouldn't be able to go buy one because all the resellers wouldn't have got them long before you the news hit they were $150.  From my experience with the resellers where I live in Florida, they know atleast one person from many of these stores and if you go down there the second you hear the news, they'll still be out of stock.

Before Circuit City stores closed down they used to do some amazing clearance sales.  Unfortunately, either the employees or someone they knew got anything and everything worth something.  One time I was going to go there a couple days early and buy the games I was interested in due to the clearance lists always going up early, then go back and return them the week of the sale and rebuy them at the cheaper price.  They had all the clearance  games on a cart, so I took a bunch I was interested in, went to the counter, they said they weren't able to sell those.  I asked why not and they said thtey were holding them for someone to purchase.  When I took it to the store manager that they were holding items that were going to be clearanced out for someone else to sell, or for them to sell, I got brushed off and still didn't get to purchase the items.  Sale or not, I never stepped in Circuit City again and later on they went bankrupt. 

It's like this in most stores around where I live.  Resellers who pull tactics like this are douchebags.
