BenVTrigger said it'll be $350 for the U.S., and he's said to be a reliable source. Makes perfect sense as I can't see Nintendo throwing all that stuff in for free.

I don't doubt him necessarily, as he seems like a trustworthy guy with a good rep around here. It's more the fact that people are discussing his insider info on a thread regarding the European bundle. Some of us came in here expecting a conversation solely about confirmed information, and over half the posts seem to be about this other topic. It seems to me this and that aren't necessarily equivalent.

Guys relax. I just gave you the internal listing we have for the bundle. As always when I tell you guys stuff this is early info it COULD change.

That said Ive never seen a pre release consoles price change when its at a set dollar. This would be the first I've seen but not impossible.

it is possible that the store has A bundle, but not an official one? like... buy the Wii U + Mario Kart 8 for 350 U$, save 10 dollars from the official price?

That you can pre-order? No this is official.

One more question if you can tell us... from when the pre-orders can be done? because it has been announced for Europe and Australia, but not America.

Going back to topic....

I HATE that Europe is getting a lot of great stuff and still the console is not selling even decent numbers, is the worst performing territory and they got the ZombiU bundle first, the Lego bundle, the just dance bundle and several special editions.

It should have been like the Wind Waker HD bundle, where there was a $50 price cut with it.

People are surprised Nintendo isn't in the race for marketshare anymore? At this point all Nintendo needs to do is actually make money off of the Wii U. That's the best they can do with such a toxic console.
