I wasn't surprised that there were still preorders available, people don't think about walmart and preordering games and also the people in walmart, the several I went too, had no ing clue what the wii u was. So that tells me its just a walmart thing, because everywhere people normally buy games, they have been sold out on preorders for a while.

That's cheap. Wait until the day after launch.

I think it's going to go the other way. The resale market will be flooded at launch driving asking prices down. After the smoke clears I think those that didn't sell quick will truly profit. If, and only if, Nintendo doesn't put out big shipments between launch and Christmas. We'll see...It's not like these are Jordans and they're not going to make any more.

I also think this is whats going to happen. Literally everyone who preordered a Wii U preordered at least 2 for the resell profit. Ebay/Craigslist/amazon is going to be PACKED with these things. I only preordered one for myself. Seems a bit risky banking on the value skyrocketing...

Do you think this : http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/10/1...oying-children

will drive the supply down and demand up?

2 more ?? How many do you have on order? How about leaving a few for the rest of us?

There will be plenty left for the rest of you...on eBay and craigslist that is.

So tempting to put two of these on the credit card and throw 'em up on eBay...

Risky? How? You can just return it. LOL.

I honestly would be happy making even 20 or 30 dollars off each Wii U. Setting expectations low to allow myself to be excited if I end up getting a large sum.

To add to the label printing discussion: a label was not printed for my order but the two employees behind the counter were talking about having labels printed for me and the one other person that preorderd before me. As I recall one lady said we can take care of that another time. Im not too worried since each preorder has a name attached in their system.

I guess in the end, we're just worried about nothing. But I'm still going there early around 11:30 just in case. Here's my receipt. Give me my damn console. lol

Unless you have a third hand, I just don't see it working out too well...unless the game allows you to "look" by dragging the stylus and tapping to shoot.

With the way I play FPS games, I could probably manage with just one analog stick. Heh. I just think it would be an interesting way to play for a little while, kinda like Elite Beat Agents without the fun music. And I'd rather scratch my eyes out than play a CoD game online, so I don't have to worry about trying to survive in that environment.

According to several websites the elite subscription service will be free on the Wii u on black ops 2 meaning free dlc... more info is coming soon... activision did state they will do there best to bring the four content packs to the Wii u plus some possibly exclusive features and content... which is why they said earlier that not all content will be available on all platforms as it appears the Wii u is getting more... im on my phone and cp isn't working right but a quick google search will show the discussions are going on now.

^ unless I'm missing something, it was announced days ago that elite is now free for everyone on all systems-minus the dlc, they are now selling a season pass for all dlc

20-30 in exchange for being ripped off by ebayers for $350. That sounds like a bad deal to me.

Elite is something different apparently now yes but the Wii item referee to is a season pass and is separate from elite. Sry for the confusion.

Elite and DLC isn't the same thing, I think you're getting things mixed up here, and there is no exclusives at all for the Wii U.

Elite is the stat tracking service, which has always been free, don't why they are touting it that way now.

The DLC now comes in a form of Season Pass, which was called Premium Elite in the previous title, MW3. You can still buy those 4 map packs separately though

and Activision already said the Wii U will not be supported by Elite. Sure, they said they want to wager their options as to how they will bring that about later on after release. but the same thing was said about the PC version of Elite and nothing has ever come about that either, a year and a half later. I'm sure it is just a way of saying it will never be available, probably for a future title.

The DLC could still come, that shouldnt be too hard to bring out, but at this point, that isn't going to available either. Activision is woking with Nintendo to make DLC available. No exclusives though.

I'm still getting it for the 360 first, since all my friends will do that as well but all these minuses don't steer me away from the title on the Wii U. I've always hated split-screen, it is so intrusive for me that I don't enjoy it after a certain point. The Gamepad handling split screen more than makes up for everything else. The Vita will get a horrible COD title (Almost guaranteed) and I wanted to play a quality COD title on a portable device (at home) and the Wii U will also provide that. Hopefully more Developers implement similar ideas of splitscreen into their games.

Originally only a portion of the services provided by Elite were free. I believe that now that the DLC is separate all the other Elite features that were behind a paywall are now free for everyone.
