If Best Buy is sold out online, does that mean they're sold out of in-store pre-orders as well? Figured I'd ask before calling every store in a 100-mile radius.

I got an in-store order at my store after it was sold out on line. Granted it was like 3 days after they stopped taking on line orders.

Id like to show up at midnight and pick up my WiiU. I also have a WiiU PO'd at BB so Ill have to figure out where to go first. Im just basing my thoughts on other posters experiences with GS console launches. Only console I ever got at launch was the N64 and that went fine. I just had to line up.

GS was the retailer that acted most responsible on taking preorders IMO, guy told me they stopped the preorders at that store the 2nd day, meanwhile Bestbuy was allowing people to preorder for a good week for $5, one member on here said a guy ahead of him at store put in SEVEN preorders.

I feel safe with GS, rather than any other retailer on launch like bestbuy who took a ton of preorders blindly , not even limiting 1 preorder per person

i know the guys at my 2 local gamestops pretty well, they stopped second day as well, thinking the are being very cautious this time around.

Walmart's White Bundle is no longer available to add options/to the cart.

Yep 7, I'm kind of worried now if I'll get one from that store now.. I asked the sales rep if there was a limit and he said, " Yes but you could pretty much order as many as you wanted" it's at the discretion of the guy ringing you up. I was there early too. Someone was on a mission to preorder a ton, probably hit up all the local stores in my area.

Glad I preordered at 3 different companies now..... Maybe I'll get 1.

really? ok ill have 100 WiiU's at $5 reserve deposit for $500, i hope they have them all ready for me at launch lol

could not can.

Have a Deluxe model on PO at GS B&M. Called twice to see if I would be guaranteed the system at launch. Both times I was assured I would get it on launch date. Worse comes ro worse, I'll get it on their next shipment.

Did anyone preorder at best buy in the Memphis area especially the one in Cordova?

Is Toys R Us still accepting in store preorders?

Most aren't, at least the ones in L.A./Orange County. I suggest calling around to see.

The "Bang!" part gave it away.

So is ZombiU really coming out on the 11/13? That is what Amazon has for the release date. Seems weird to release it before the console.

Not really. I remember for the Wii launch few of its games came out before the console actually came out. They were all 3rd party games. I don't know if stores always put them on the shelves before the console came out, but I know for certain the Walmart in my area did.

Oh okay. I imagine it has something to do with nintendo releasing things on Sundays and most games get released on Tuesdays.
