I'm going to BK for lunch now...

I bought 6 pre order cards at target. 4 and 2(wife). I left 2 black and 2 white on the hooks thus not being a complete douche. Sold both whites for 50$ already and one black for 75$ to people too lazy to go shopping or just wait in a line.

wow people are buying the cards? They had a bunch at Target yesterday still...

Damn the Bestbuy in my hometown is doing a midnight launch. I woulda loved to be there for that. I camped their for the Wii and it was just so much fun, my store recieved 84 units but by the time the store opened the line had wrapped around the entire mall and had over 500 people. Obviously with preorders its different but it woulda still been fun to show up at midnight.

Im at college so the one up here is as dead as a rock and I bet I will be the only one even getting the system up here. Hell the bestbuy up here isnt even getting demo units cuz its so small. neither is the gamestop.

Obviously the benefit is that the Wii U will be easy to get even without preorder, but I MISS the hype, at home theirs so much hype, here its dead!

It's because people feel that they are going to miss out. I remember when the wii came out and people were paying stupid amounts of money. I waited a couple weeks, walked into a Gamestop and bought one with no problem. These will be the same way.

Then you got lucky as or your specific area is Wiitarded. I had to wait over 9 months to get my "christmas present" and I called stores every day.

I live right outside the Houston area, so maybe it was luck lol.

I'm not so sure. I have read that the factory making WiiU is also making all the Ipad's, Ipad mini, Ipods and Macbooks... I bet nintendo is not their priority if this is the case.

Also I made sure when I purchased the cards that they would get one 100% Our Target is out of them now... I was going to buy more lol

Yeah, I read that Nintendo only made something like 1 million units for the US. People will once again be paying stupid money on ebay for these.

Ill just cross link the contest link.

Bleh, no thanks. You can get a freebie code once per day and avoid the fat, calories and everything else Burger King brings with it.

Why not inject the fat directly into my arteries and cut out the middleman?

I'm sure it'll be a service they're offering soon.

I already got NSMB Wii U and Zombie U paid off at Gamestop. Just waiting until the 18th to pick up my black deluxe unit from Target. Was able to finally snag a preorder card at my local Target. Amped!

I've got Mario and ZombiU pre-ordered through Newegg for only $48. They keep sending those coupon codes out but they wised up and they aren't good for Wii U pre-orders anymore which sucks. Only negative is you won't have the games launch day. Guess I'll make due with Nintendo Land.

I've got a reservation card for Target too, just hope everything goes smoothly and I can pick it up without hassle.

No. Probably sold them locally.
