That was fast!
Okay I've officially taken a page out of the Dvader playbook. I've preordered 2 Deluxe editions. Hopefully one will pay for the other, at least in part.

It's probably what is up with Amazon not doing pre-orders also.
Well another reason I'm not buying one right away. I hate the way Nintendo handled this, WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT then hurry up and buy it now 2 months early but ohh wait it's sold out in 1 day. FUCK YOU NINTENDO GO FUCK YOURSELF. Take your old rehashed hardware and games and stick them where the sun don't shine.
But...all these consoles are going to have old rehashed hardware and games by the time they release.

Yeah but no one handles it as poorly as Nintendo. That being said, I will probably get it next year, I hate the whole pre order scam and the way Nintendo limits supply to make it a mad scramble, Creating a supply bottle neck and making us wait all this time. Then it sells out right away, I could not get to a store to pre order it. I hope its everywhere next year not like the freaking Wii which was a cluster fuck.
Dvader said:Wii U is sold out of preorders at almost all local Best Buys. Already got mine (second one
) Any worry about this not selling well should be put to rest.
Unless all the pre-orders are people buying to sell, and there is only minimal genuine demand.

The first week will be a mad house, I think if you really look for one in Dec you can get one. Are Wal-Marts out of preorders already or are they not taking pre-orders?

I guess I was smart going yesterday...i wasn't going to originally.
Keep in mind, there's other lesser known stores that sell electronics that will have a small supply, Sam's Club, BJ's, etc.
This info does not leave this website ok. I hear there is a port of RE Revelations coming to Wii U. Expect news in a few months. Its going to be just like what they are doing with Monster Hunter 3.
Time for me to spread this news far and wide. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Dvader said:This info does not leave this website ok. I hear there is a port of RE Revelations coming to Wii U. Expect news in a few months. Its going to be just like what they are doing with Monster Hunter 3.

To NeoGaf!
Assholes.
Wow if true, awesome. I've been pissed off about not being able to play it, as honestly I'm more interested in that than I am RE6. I may bust a nut if true.
Well Pre orders still online at BB AND GS who knows for how long. If I really want 1 I could do that. But I still think I'm gonna wait, investing half a g in a new a console and few games seems awfully expensive to me right now.
My biggest issue is personal, for the half a g I would dump into this, I could basically have a new PC setup which I need. So I have to make a decision.Unfortunatly I can't have both there is no way.
Half a G at least. Down here anyway, the way games are priced.
So If I got a U, there goes $450 out the door. Plus two games, at best, will be another $175. That gets me up to $625. I can get a low mid-tier gaming PC for about that.
Speaking of Aussie console buying one of the reasons I have not got a Vita yet is because there is no gray market for games (only new, none discounted). And at $100 a pop, that's absurd.
I'd rather buy a current gen game and 30 beers than buy a next gen game and play it sober

HahahAHAHAHA
I don't know how you guys can get past that controller. I mean godamn I would stick my dick in a a fire anthill to play a new Metroid game (not from you though team ninja...eww) but dat controller. It looks like a poster child for carpal tunnel hand destruction, more uncomfortable controllers may exist, but this fucker looks like a tie with them. The newest EGM the guys talk about playing Batman Arkham City at E3 and how it was a nightmare to control and actually play.
I mean yeah its got like a normalish controller too... but whats the fucking point of buying the system then? Y'know... its like Nintendos all like hey hope you like this doodad, if not fuck you. Nintendo makes me feel like a battered housewife. I just want to keep coming back and giving them my love and my money and they keep on shitting in my fucking face with their bullshit.
Also Bayonetta 2 DAFUQ?
Seriously though guys just my thoughts, hope you guys love your system and have fun. The new Mario looks ok, maybe if you guys post nothing about things about the controller then I may look into one in the future.
Yeah I'm actually looking forward to checking that out. I wouldn't have bought it by itself, but as a pack in its a great bonus.
