Got an order in on the KMart thing, gonna have to drive like 30 miles but what the hell right. Now, if my other one I placed with them actually goes through, well, then I'm boned. They did take the money out of my account however.

To summarize most of this thread: YMMV

Be sure to call your local retailers! What's true in Massachusetts may not be true in California.

They are wrong. No TRU oversold their allotment or even got close to it. The vast majority of stores got double what was pre ordered if not more.

I hope it is in the flyers since no one other than hardcore gamers and flippers have heard of it yet. Gotta get the word out to your everyday Joe reading the Sunday circulars.

I stopped by one of the Walmart to pay down my layaways and this store said very few people other than I had pre ordered there.

I'm kind of hoping the Kmart deal falls through. I forgot I have a 5% pharmacy rewards coupon for Target, plus my old lady is upgrading her iPhone tomorrow and we should be able to trade that in for $150. I would rather spend $200 out of pocket than $350.

I know kids definitely know about, but how much in detail is to be determined. My teenage cousins who watch Nickelodeon and Disney have seen Wii U commercials. I guess kids haven't bugged their parents to get them one yet.

Called my gamestop and like most they aren't doing a midnight opening but they will be opening at 9 on sunday.

Sorry, I should have been clear, the TRU circular has Wii U consoles advertised as available very clearly displayed on page one, with no indication of limited quantities outside of the standard disclaimer they print in every ad.

"More than 500,000 customers worldwide are on a waiting list for the device, GameStop Corp., a specialty retailer with 6,600 stores in the U.S. and Europe, said yesterday. Shoppers placed orders for 1.2 million Wii U titles worldwide, more than double that of the original Wii launch, GameStop President Tony Bartel said in an earnings conference call."

Someone must know about the console for the wait list to be that long.

Well damn, that settles it. I guess that means you can walk in to any store at any time in the next 3 months and walk out with a Wii U with no hassle!

Hey guys I was able to pick up my Wii U deluxe from Walmart layaway today. YMMV but to those who do have Walmart layaway orders you can try tonight or tomorrow.

I can't wait to play this tonight!

Maybe not on day one, but certainly after week one when all the would be resellers flood the stores with returns.

I do work there. I do have a company wide allotment report.

If this is true, it is likely by a wide margin one of the least likely things to ever happen.
