I have mine on layaway at Walmart, it's hard to wait! It's in there with a bunch of gifts for the kids for Christmas, got like 200 left to pay off from almost 700. None in stock at the one I go to, not even basic models. Craigslist is lit up with them though.

Went to Kmart this morning. Couldn't believe there were 22 Deluxe and 0 Basic. The lady at the register said a guy came in a half hour before me and bought the last Basic model. She did say they only got 2 Basic in.

Stopped by 3 BB yesterday and all had the basic model in stock. Finally found a deluxe model at the last BB (figures).

I picked up one tonight at my local toysrus us they had a quite a few basic and deluxe sets. I settled for a basic set.

any black friday sales on the console, lol. i kid i kid. i want one but i cannot be an early adopter. i know they are going to releases another system in 6-12 months with decent storage capacity

$79 Seagate 2 TB External Hard Drive

They won't stay in stock for long going by past experience.

If you click on used you can save another $6 or so through Warehouse deals.

*USED* Wii Basic Edition + Nintendo Land + NSMBU for $470 shipped

Buy a brand new Deluxe (which are selling for MSRP at retailers and barely over MSRP on eBay) and NSMBU, and pay under $470. Whoever bought that auction had more money than sense.

If you live in the Alexandria, VA area, the Best Buy in Potomac Yards had 10+ of the Deluxe and Basic Wii U around 6:00 AM this morning.

Target had a 320gb drive similar to that for $35 last night. I think its still on sale. I should have bought it because i dont think ill ever need anymore than that. My ps3 is my primary console, has been for many years and ive only accumulated 350 gigs worth of content - most of which i could delete and never miss.

If you live in Thornton,CO there is one in Target on 120th and Washington.

I missed preordering period and I walked in Target this am to try my luck and bammmm I got one lol. Lucky sob.

So, I have found that Nintendo Land blows Wii Sports out of the water, in terms of gaming for all. I could barely get my parents to play Wii Sports Tennis for 15 minutes, but 5-player Mario Chase, Luigi's Ghost Mansion, and the Animal Crossing game got them to play for well over an hour while really enjoying themselves.

Managed to get myself a Deluxe from GameStop this morning. Went in to trade in my PS3 and Wii, and asked if they were selling any Wii Us today, and the guy said yep, they were. Worked out rather nicely, as I had enough credit to pick up the Deluxe, Mario, and Scribblenauts Unlimited. I've spent probably close to 3 hours playing Little Inferno so far, which is a blast.

What did they give you for the Ps3?
Before the wii u came out there was talk of all these bonus trade ins, now no one mentions anything.

Picked up my Wii U from layaway, maybe some of y'all can add me so I have some people on my friends list! My ID is therealdanhill.

If you're talking to me, I got $170 ($85 TIV, doubled due to the BF deal).

Was at the ToysRUs in Pineville, NC (near Charlotte) this afternoon. They had 12 Deluxe and several basics in a cage near the electronics checkout. No one appeared to be interested in them, sales associate was explaining the differences to the one person looking at them.

Keep telling myself I don't need one of these considering the backlog of games I already have. My wife made sure I didn't get one today. I also hope that there will be a different bundle next year, etc. etc.

Nintendo has some terrible marketing for the wii u

I saw multiple deluxe editions at target, Walmart, and two best buys

I think Nintendo did the launch just about right. I see them enough places, but they usually don't last for long. They have gotten re-stocked once or twice already also, but those have not lasted long. I usually see shelves with only one or two units left... sometimes sold out. Enough stock for people to buy, but if they are indecisive the units are usually gone on a second return. This is terrible for the resellers, though, I think.
