Yeah. I cannot agree more.

But there are always some idiot parents.

I haven't seen much talk lately about Best Buy in-store pre-orders. Any new news on how they are going to handle it? Hopefully they will set aside the pre-orders at the CS desk like they do the games. We all know sometimes that doesn't even happen.

I called my Best Buy and they assured me that my name would be put on the system right away and kept in the back. I'll have a week to come pick it up.

Target deluxe bundle seems to be back online, I just placed an order.

just placed a order from target,

If the order doesn't get cancelled, whatever, then I'll get it from them, but what more can I do, you know? I'm totally at their mercy. Can't cancel the order, can't get any info on if I'll get it or not. Beyond my family and I never shopping there again, and blogging about their terrible business practices, maybe writing an article for the local paper, what more would ya have me do?

Don't know if it's in a thread already but Toys R Us is taking 20% off of purchases of $125 or more. Currently includes Wii U preorders, though the text of the offer isn't consistent. (says baby purchases, and excludes preorders) However, I just checked out and it worked. Shipping is also free.

Sorry deal seems dead now perhaps I was the only one to get in...

Wii U Deluxe just shipped from Best Buy!

Damn. I already pre-ordered from there. I wonder if I contact CS if they'll apply 20% off to my order.

Does not look like the Newegg games are shipping today :(

Both bundles are in on target, here is the basic:

I received a pending charge from them yesterday. My order was from the 8th. Still says 'not shipped yet.'

The fact that the deluxe edition is now BACK IN STOCK on their website, and that my order hasn't shipped, leaves me little confidence in Target.com.

So I applied for a Red Card...are they supposed to e-mail me a card # I can use?

I can't even find the page to add the system to my cart.

I work at Target and we were told we were only getting 5 of each. So that's all the preorder slips we got. Our Wii Us came in yesterday and we have 7 of each. Maybe it's like that for other stores as well. So if you are willing to wait outside for one, you may have a chance incase you missed the preorder

well I just bought the deluxe , payed for express shipping.

Says expected delivery sunday. Somehow I doubt this, but it was only $30 bucks.

If it doesnt confirm by tommorow, ill prob make the journey to the nintendo store.

Is any of that considered customer service stock for possible defective returns?

Sorry, are you talking about games or the console?

You should have gotten a scannable barcode on your receipt for the card (Your temporary card). Also, it's possible the temporary card may not let you make a large purchase like that for security reasons. You can try though.
