If you download a lot of games get the 32 gb model because the special offer will save you money in the long run.


That promotion is ending very soon.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Since all's been said, I'll say this; if you buy it again, don't sell it, again.


But what if he profits from it again and the system costs less in the future?

So, the Wii U is currently $200 new on eBay. However, it is only for the 8GB console.

My questions, how much space do the updates take up? & Should I go for it or wait?


I wouldn't. Yes, it's a good price but 8GB? I'd suggest holding out. Take that money, put it away and slowly add to it until you have enough for a new bundled Wii-U with 32GB.

I got an 8GB and just hooked an old hard drive to it. For that price I'd say yes.

If you have to ask at that price you probably shouldn't.

Get the 8GB and an external hard drive, I ended up getting a 2TB external because I filled the 32GB quite quickly. Even with the added costs of the hard drive you have yourself a steal there.

This is very true. I was more asking if the 8GB was enough space though & I got "No" from most people.

As someone who TRUSTS E-bay, $200 8GB model with no game is a questionable deal. Take it if it has a game, but if not get a $300 32Gb model that come with a game, or a 8GB onewith a game.

You shouldn't trust Ebay. Just get one refurbished from gamestop or Best Buy.


Why?  As long as Paypal is available there is no problem.    Bank transfer is something i would avoid tho.

Only if you plan to do a lot of digital stuff.

I have the 32GB version and I already know that I will never even get it to 8GB full.
