Like many others in this thread, I want to know wtf OP thinks a good deal is, because this looks like a good one to me. The only thing I'm pissed about is that Europe gets way more options for the free game, including some ones I really want. Oh well, Europe needs it. Also, does Japan get this bundle or the free game promotion? Because they need it too.

Previously, I was hoping for a $299 bundle with just the game but this MK8 Deluxe Set bundle is priced really good for what you get and the extra free game makes it fantastic because there are several great games to choose from in either region.

Regarding your X-Files analogy, well, IMHO WiiU easily has the best library of any of the new consoles. So, the truth is out there.
