I hate Best Buy, run like crap. It's going to be an absolute nightmare.

Assuming the store bothers to check. My concern is that when I preorder a game on-line for store pickup (which is how I ordered the WiiU), it's not the usual store pickup process for something already released where they get the e-mail early in the morning before opening and pull the merchandise. For example, on my RE6 preorder, I just got an e-mail telling me to go to the store on October 2nd, but when I got there, they had to send someone to the racks and actually pull my game off the store sales floor. If that happens with the WiiU, there are going to be a lot of people screwed by the midnight launches, employees hiding units for friends, etc...

The flying ? I'm glad I preordered at GS and not best buy. That sounds like absolute ass. I feel bad for the employs scheduled for the 18th.

do you guys really think that is true?? just because a blue shirt said taht, does not mean it is true. Mine still says in process. I called bestbuy and they said there is no such thing of cancelling.

wouldnt they have to notify everyone that pre-ordered that their pre-order was canceled?

I'd say it's a isolated incident

Don't ever trust BB Employees when they say batshit crazy stuff like that. BB hires the most unqualified people sometimes. Also why would a national chain like BB take a huge backlash for pulling something like that? The last thing Best Buy wants is a bad rap going into the holidays. I could see canceling the last couple of orders they got (as of we ran out of stock for preorders, we can't fulfill yours).

That's what happens when you let people order as many as they want ( guy before me ordered 7). With Orders like that no wonder some stores will not be able to fulfill all there orders.

That's why I preordered from BB and GS. I figure if one can't hold up is end, the other should be able to. Guess all this BB credit I have will go towards games/accessories or something.

All anyone needs to do is check their CC for a hold to see if cancelled.

See what I did there?

I preordered from GS, BB, BB.com, and TRU.com. Think I'll get one on launch.

no blacks anywhere for 350?

WOW, I can't believe best buy did that I've always had good dealings with them but in this case I'm glad I went with the walmart bundle and am getting it shipped to my door even though I will have to wait a few days to get it. My wii is ready for the move.

What are the chances that I'll be able to walk into a K-mart and buy the Wii U there the morning of launch??

Bring a pocket knife, large burly men, and a support sniper and you "might" beat the soccer moms and flippers

Probably about as slim as waluigi on a diet but you never know so I say give it a shot.

Not true.

Best Buy would be stupid to cancel all pre-orders. I say it's just a mis-informed employee or someone just ing with the this guy.

That being said, I don't know how much weight a Best Buy pre-order of a Wii U does hold, and these rumors just make it seem like they're taking this process less and less serious.

I really don't trust any retailer at this point. I mean unless Amazon pops out of it's magic hat and says here is Wii-U preorders I can only pray Gamestop.com is nice enough to give me one.

I have a feeling Amazon is just going to open the floodgates at midnight and it'll make for an interesting 3 minutes.
