Gamestop/Bestbuy.com already sold out of Deluxe Wii U Models - Polidicks

[URL]http://www.geekosystem.com/wii-u-deluxe-preorder-sold-out/[/URL] [QUOTE][B]Gamestop[/B] has stopped taking [B]pre-orders[/B] for the $350 [B]“deluxe” edition[/B] of [B]Nintendo’s[/B]upcoming console, the [B]Wii U[/B]. According to [URL="http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/15/3337366/gamestop-no-longer-taking-wii-u-deluxe-pre-orders"]Polygon[/URL], employees at Gamestop stores across the U.S. confirmed that consumers have reserved every unit the retailer has set aside for the[B]console launch[/B] on [B]November 18th[/B]. The people have spoken: They want more gaming consoles.Nintendo revealed their plans for the U.S. launch of the Wii U at a press event on Thursday. Gamestop and other retailers began taking pre-orders for console bundles shortly after the event. Since the Deluxe version sold out in less than 72 hours, it seems fair to assume that it’s only a matter of time before Gamestop runs out of basic bundles as well. Gamestop employees were unsure of how long stores would have to wait before getting restocked after launch. Nintendo is selling the Wii U in two different console “bundles”: The $300 ”basic” bundle comes with a white console featuring an 8GB hard drive and the console’s signature “gamepad” controller, while the “deluxe” bundle, for only $50 more, comes with a black Wii U sporting a larger 32 GB hard drive, a gamepad, and a litany of accessories including a charging cradle for the gamepad and [I]NintendoLand[/I], the company’s franchise-mashing mini game collection designed as an introduction to the console’s unique style of gaming. Considering that a basic Wii U bundle and a copy of [I]NintendoLand[/I] alone would cost $360.00, the deluxe is clearly the way to go if you think a Wii U is in your future. Unfortunately, you may have to settle for the basic, since it seems that gamers are swarming like locusts to pre-order every console retailers can throw at them. The bottom line: If you want to have a Wii U on launch day, you better go find somewhere to reserve it right away.

Good lord, and I thought the Wii sold like hotcakes.

Dammit, didn't get to preorder mine yet.

Walked into Gamestop yesterday and asked if it was available to pre-order. Ended up the first person to pre-order it in that store, thank god I did. [editline]15th September 2012[/editline] They literally started taking pre-orders yesterday, that was fast.

if you still want to get one walmart has them: [URL]http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Wii-U-Solution-Bundle-w-Customer-Choice-of-Wii-U-Game-and-Wii-Remote-Plus/21803986[/URL] Toys R Us no longer has them or their site is stupid, either one.

EBGames here isn't sold out. I guess each store has a certain amount they are allowed to sell (limited availability of course). I was one of if not the first to pre-order it. Good thing I did. I didn't know it was selling so well already.

Well, I guess I'm not getting one anytime soon. There are a ton of overpriced ones on ebay, but I'd rather wait than pay extra.

[QUOTE=BackSapper;37676621]I thought EB Games was owned by Gamestop? Maybe it's just online sales that are sold out for Gamestop then.[/QUOTE] Gamestop and EB arn't in the same country so EB Games is other countries while gamestop is mainly america.

[QUOTE=BackSapper;37676621]I thought EB Games was owned by Gamestop? Maybe it's just online sales that are sold out for Gamestop then.[/QUOTE] Yes they are. And they go by the same rule. Each store has a certain amount they can pre-sell. My store just so happens to be one of them who hasn't.

[QUOTE=Wii60;37676645]Gamestop and EB arn't in the same country so EB Games is other countries while gamestop is mainly america.[/QUOTE] Gotcha, we got a couple of Gamestops in Canada, but only in the big ass malls.

Well, uh wow. Color me surprised. As a massive Nintendo fan I thought the WiiU was an inevitable flop. Good to know I'm wrong.

Good thing I just pre ordered mine yesterday

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;37677030]Well, uh wow. Color me surprised. As a massive Nintendo fan I thought the WiiU was an inevitable flop. Good to know I'm wrong.[/QUOTE] One thing that I hope, is that if Nintendo ever fails in console making. They remain a developer and a publisher. They have shaped the industry too much to simply cast into the abyss.

I pre-ordered mine right after Reggie stopped talking! :v:

The Deluxe versions (GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, and apparently Target isn't even taking preorders on it) in my area are all sold out so I got the Basic one. After hearing that you can use USB drives for storage I don't seem much of a point to get the Deluxe, especially when it comes with a game I have no real interest in.

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;37676518]Good lord, and I thought the Wii sold like hotcakes.[/QUOTE] I remember back in 2007 when I had such a hard time finding a Wii anywhere. Then one lucky weekend at GameCrazy they had three Wii's left. Nowadays it's just sitting on top of my shelf in the box. Neat system, but I got bored of it faster than any other console I've owned.

[QUOTE=Wii60;37676645]Gamestop and EB arn't in the same country so EB Games is other countries while gamestop is mainly america.[/QUOTE] We have an EB Games and a Gamestop like less than 50 miles away from each other in Florida. Dunno about you.

I hope amazon takes orders soon, that's where I plan on ordering it

I haven't been keeping up with the Wii U What made it so popular?

[QUOTE=Trogdon;37678557]I hope amazon takes orders soon, that's where I plan on ordering it[/QUOTE] I don't know how to break this to you... [quote]Dear Amazon.com Customer, Thank for you signing up to be notified when the Wii U is available. Unfortunately the Wii U console is not available at Amazon.com at this time but please check back in the future, as availability may change. We do have the latest Wii U games and accessories available now so check them out. Thank you for shopping with Amazon Video Games.[/quote] Amazon and Nintendo apparently have some sort of dispute, as Amazon doesn't sell the 3DS either (Yes the 3DS is on Amazon, but through Amazon certified sellers). My younger brother was forced to preorder through Gamestop when the email went out. Preorder now while you still have the chance.

[QUOTE=Walmart]Preorder this item today and it should ship on 12/31/2012[/QUOTE] Why not on the release date? :v:

[QUOTE=Bitl;37678819]Why not on the release date? :v:[/QUOTE] Probably because they already sold out and that is when they are expecting more.

hah I will wait when it's on sale and comes with a game

[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;37680785]hah I will wait when it's on sale and comes with a game[/QUOTE] it already does come with a game

I'm not making the same mistake I made with the Wii.

I'll see if our family can buy this one on launch like the Wii

Nintendo has cracked the key to success in the mainstream video game market. They sold the Wii targeted to one the biggest demographics in little kids to the most popular form of entertainment for that demographic, and because of that they just bathe in money. It's perfectly understandable why the Wii U is going to sell like hot cakes.

the deathmatch at christmas time is approaching.

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;37677030]Well, uh wow. Color me surprised. As a massive Nintendo fan I thought the WiiU was an inevitable flop. Good to know I'm wrong.[/QUOTE] I hoped it would be a flop. The Wii was a slap in the face to gaming IMO and I was sad to see it do so well. This new one does seem to be a bit more serious however so we'll see.
