That means I'll have to unlock my man cave every time just to play games!

Hide it behind a secret wall that you must play a piano to open, then turn your man cave into a.... BAT CAVE!

I got bb to PM tru's buy 1 get 1 40% off, got zombiU and NSMBU but NSMBU only cost me 31.80... Did they derp and give me 50% off by accident???

Got my Wii U and now starting the long update process lol!!! Hopefully it will be done by the time I wake up for work.

Went into a local best buy today and seen at least 10 Wii U Deluxe models sitting on a shelf by the Wii games/consoles. Either they got a new shipment in or they were selling preorder consoles.

Picked one up since I wasn't able to grab one at the midnight launch at Walmart since I didn't preorder and they only had 10 that night.

Also got them to PM TRU B1G1 40%, grabbed NSMBU and Black Ops, debating if I should have gotten something else instead of BLOPS.

Was thinking of buying a usb drive but since you cant install games i think ill save my money.

I think only USB HDD's work for game installation.

I have an old 320 one that'll match nicely, but I don't plan on going digital for retail games on anything but PC, so I'll probably be fine with the 32GB if I get a Wii U soon, unless there's some sudden deluge of digital only releases of niche titles.

Well i got my Wii U at Walmart at the mark of midnight yesterday. I had to wait eight hours in line , but I got my deluxe bundle. They kept telling us all they had was the white one. I had already gone throught my seven stages and had excepted that is what fate had delt me, but long story short they were very wrong and I walked away with a deluxe, which im using right now to type this message. I am hearing that the system is still available in some store here in Florida.

Thanks

Someone already managed to grab "Xscapist."

When setting up the Wii U initially, has anyone had it refuse to display when 1080p is selected as the option, only displaying in 1080i?

Miiverse is much better than I thought it would be... I'm impressed.

GIANT WII U AD DOMINATING THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUTUBE!!!

S*** just got real...

My Target.com preorder finally shipped last night and the info changed on UPS. Shipped from a St. Louis suburb to Texas.

I think I will try and find a system today. So far five Wal-Marts, five Gamestops, a Target and a BestBuy... all sold out of all units. Games are plentiful though.

I'm assuming you are talking about the deluxe? Nintendo clearly didn't understand demand properly and whoever in sales was responsible for making so many white units will probably lose his job.

When things start to sell out in stores they are sold out online even sooner. It always happens that way, scarce products are sold out online then you need to look in b&m's for it. That's what's happened with the deluxe. The fact that the basic unit can be purchased online shows that there is plenty of them out there.

It's also possible no one wants the basic unit bundles which is what can be purchased online from Walmart but if things were really bad with supply then those bundles would be sold out too.

What is the big knock on the white unit?

8gb for storage when half of it is taken by the OS itself is pretty bad. For $50 more the amount of extras you get on top of the larger amount of storage is just a no-brainer. Nintendo Land itself is $59.99 MSRP.

Shit, is this a thing? I had the same thing happen in Nintendo Land after about an hour of play. I also had another similar freeze during the Wii data transfer where the only remedy was a plug pull. I restarted both times and haven't had any other issues.

Well, one time I got a message that said the GamePad connection was unstable, but I hit OK and never noticed any issues.

I am talking either unit. I have been to 80% of the stores listed, called them all and nothing on shelves at all, regular or deluxe.

Got an email on the 16th that my Target preorder had shipped. Still no tracking update from ups just the "shipping label has been created blah blah.." message. Should I be worried? Had selected the slowest shipping.
