Don't have a preorder?

The transfer app channel is up on the original wii shop channel. It said to save on the system memory.

Nope. I decided to want one this past week.

Cancelled everything I'd preordered with Newegg. They're just way too unreliable with shipping.

I'd ordered Paper Mario Sticker Star for 3DS and they inexplicably downgraded me to "Eggsaver" Shipping, after I'd ordered with 3-Day for free, and it's now over a week after release and the game is nowhere to be found.

Mario U didn't ship on Friday, but Epic Mickey was in process and I was able to void that thankfully.

Just suddenly remembering why I stopped using Newegg years ago. They used to be so quick and had decent customer service. Should have known better.

I've never had issues with newegg, always quick and reliable, I'd rather save $12 on a game and wait a day or two after launch to get it, no biggie to save some dough.

Lol it will be interesting to hear how this turns out.

I saw on a different forum that this review might be fake.

I also saw another post where it was claimed that the official Nintendo magazine gave the game a 92. Who to believe?

Going to be heading out in an hour or so for my walmart pre-order. Hoping it's not too packed or filled with wierdo's. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone

Why so early for a preorder?
Rolling up at 1130
If its packed I'm going to bed

Few days is no problem. Downgrading me to "eggsaver" and then taking over a week? Not cool.

Just chatted with Newegg support. She said that "DHL (eggsaver) is used when the item in the package is smaller in size and not worthy of direct UPS or FedEx transportation, and of course it is the cheapest. Usually, it takes 4 to 7 business days for the package to be delivered to you. "

So even though, in good faith, I ordered the game being told that it would take 3 days, it's now going to be over 10, or whenever the USPS drops it off.

This is the third game I've ordered in a row that they've downgraded me from free 3-day to "eggsaver" 7 day without warning, and after they advertised 3-day at the time of ordering.

Cancelled over $400 in preorders with Newegg. Done with them.

Ask yourself what else would you be doing for those 12 hours? Get a tent, some warm clothes, portable heater and you are good to go. The 12 hours will fly by.

Prob not worth it. I think people who really want one will be able to snag one online as long as they keep an eye out.

It's Walmart.. I rather not take my chances. My sister and I are going together and just going to play DS.. will only have an hour and a half or so to wait.

I just got a call from the Philadelphia FYE saying they got ZERO black consoles in and my pre-order can't be honored. I have no idea what to do. I'm taking a red-eye flight tonight so I don't even have the option of camping out. This is why I pre-ordered! So I wouldn't have to deal with this!

Gah. Guess I'll be driving around to all the local stores hoping to score a deluxe Wii-U at 7PM tomorrow when my flight gets in.

The only thing that might make it fake for me is the fact that no one else has put up a ZombiU review yet. Could be embargoed until tomorrow so we'll know for sure what the consensus is about that game when the time arrives.

Got mine pre-ordered at Best Buy but the one that has mine isn't doing a midnight opening. It is doing a 10am opening, though, so I'll grab it then before heading in to work and having it download updates and do transfers while I toil away.

What I'm really interested in, though, is what's available on the eShop. I'll be getting New Super Mario Bros. U there (provided I can't get my copy from Old Navy) but I'm interested in what other titles made it up there. I'm curious to see if third-party games are up there so I can figure out whether I should get some of them via disc or digital instead, especially since I set aside a 1.5TB for this console.

Wow that is BS.. How do you get ZERO deluxes when you pre order before the order went in?

Sounds like walmart just open up pre oders and let them run until Nov 1st with no cut off system.

And they called before I had a chance to. Lol
Looks like my local Gamestop is opening early at 9am, can't wait to pick it up!
