Keep telling yourself that. These will be sold out through the Christmas season making them more and more valuable as people get more desperate towards Christmas. Good luck just walking in and buying one of these this season.

guess he deleted it.

Absolutely insane--congrats! I sent you a PM--if you're able to confirm whether it has a universal power supply, that'd be most appreciated.

i always get a good laugh out of people questioning prim.

Man, if it was a little earlier I'd head out to Walmart and try my luck. Maybe tomorrow during the day.

I just love looking at the pics hahaha. Congrats! 1 down, countless CAGs to go! BTW, looks great with your setup! You should stop by the November pick-ups thread with those pics and now would be a great time for you to do an overall collection/set-up update in the collection thread!

the estimated delivery date on my non-bundled walmart.com order disappeared. i don't think it's gonna ship :(

rats missed out on the Target bundle :(

I don't even understand how you could have gotten this from Wal-Mart, their computer systems won't, or at least shouldn't allow it to be sold before midnight on Sunday, and no one can override them.

Just looked at my Walmart.com order page, so after they told me Zombie U was delayed and would not ship until the 25th! It shipped today Via Fed ex , my pro controller and the 32 gig deluxe still processing .. I guess it will ship tomorrow I hope.Walmart is a crappy online store, but it looks like I will get my stuff.

My guess would be he paid it off at layaway, so the system recognized it as either picked up or able to be picked up. Walmart's layaway is weird, it's different from a normal sale. That's why they had to scan barcodes for people to put them on layaway. In the layaway system, this is something that has been in stock for a while that he put on layaway, and he just now happened to pick it up.

People forget that this is a very small section of the general population. Most people do not run to the store the minute they hear of the next Wii to pre-order. This is not an Iphone or hot cool gadget. It's a gaming console. Nerds, and people who choose this as a hobby know because they choose to.

Nintendo is in business to make money, and they have quite a few partners in retail (Walmart, ToysRus, Target, Bestbuy, etc.). Or did people think that ToysRus was really only going to get half a dozen consoles per store? Less than intelligent folks get on a Gamestop pre-order with no backup plan. ToysRus will have extra, and so will Target, and BestBuy.

Will you beat the resellers who are there at opening? Who knows, but as Prim says, stop assuming stores are getting a few units on launch day.

Seems i'm less than intelligent according to you. I chose GS (B&M) as my pre-order location, and I did not pre-order anywhere else.
