If any can help me out with this i would appreciate it. So i ended up with 2 deluxes, one from walmart and the other from gamestop. My lil bro decided he did not want and now i can take it back but the one that was suppose to be his i ended up keeping which was from Walmart. I used credit for the gamestop one. Now can i return the gamestop one to walmart to get my cash refund? Im not trying to get over or anything and im really kicking myself for opening the wrong one. All of the upc are the same or does each system have a serial that printed in the system or something like that. And help would be really appreciated. TIA

Finally grabbed one from a Target here in Orlando today. Started calling when they opened and got one tracked down. I was actually on the TRU page almost ready to check out with the crap bundle they posted this morning and my wife found this one. Merry Christmas early for me!

I'm pretty sure each console is tied to a serial and that they're pretty strict about it. I could be wrong, though. Plus...every walmart is different, so you might get a lax one.

Where are the good damn deals on Wii U games ffs!?

Gamestop.com has Batman, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and FIFA 13 for $49.99. Only game deals that I've found so far.

EDIT: Also Nintendo Land for $49.99, and Game Party Champions for $29.99.

I went fishing for a Wii U today.

Didn't go to Best Buy
Target - 1 plain (and was gone later that day when I went to get games)
1st Gamestop - 1 plain
Toys R Us - 3 plains

I called another Gamestop and they had 1 Deluxe left.

They gave me $170 for my PS3 Slim (which is an extra one that came with my TV) and I made the deal.
The guy at Gamestop didn't even turn it on and didn't seem to mind that I gave him the non dual shock sixaxxis controller.

Now if I can only connect to the Wii Shop channel to move my stuff, I would be golden.

Do you remember what 360s launch games looked like? If graphics are that important to gaming for you(lolcasuals), then why the hell are you playing consoles?

Junior (hehe), I was playing games before you were even a twinkle in your parent's eyes (judging by your use of the word lolcasuals you sound about 10 years old). I have over 700 video games. I don't think I qualify as casual. See my list. I was 4 years old when the Atari 2600 came out, I got one at 5, and I've had nearly every console ever put out including every single Nintendo console (don't have a Wii U yet but will get a deluxe as soon as I see one in store). I've seen every console cycle that has existed, and been an avid gamer since I was 5. I'm a non partisan gamer. I buy every console that comes out, and always will.

So is it this or next gen? Feels like this gen, looks like this gen, sounds like this gen, is getting bad ports of this gen games, but if you want to point to Wikipedia and say it's next gen, well then you can do that. Me, I'm excited to see what PS4 and the 720 are going to do to my eyeballs, and I guarantee that hardware will push the envelope and the graphical changes will be obvious and significant with the launch games. I don't feel the same way for Wii U. For Wii U, I'm just once again looking forward to the Nintendo made games, which is reason enough for me to own a Wii U.

Actually, glad people are finding these at retail. Anyone returned anything in store from toysrus.com before? Is it no hassle?

Much to this threads delight, you are going to have issues. You cannot return an online TrU order in store and get your money back the same way you paid, you can only get store credit.

So you'll have to ship it back at your own expense (assuming nothing is wrong with it). I would laugh at you except I'm in the same boat. So I'll laugh at the both of us instead. HA HA!

You should come join us at the WiiU Buy/Sell/Trade forum here on CAG. You may find something you want!

9,000 and loving the U!

Originally Posted by Slowdance Thanks for the resume, but this isn't up for debate.

I'm as excited for the other 2 consoles as anyone here, i'm just pointing out that you're dead wrong, and obviously have no clue what "console gen" means if you're this confused about it. I have no doubt that the PS4 and Xbox 3 will be more powerful. I honestly have no idea why that was brought up. Curious though, do you feel the same way about the Dreamcast? Or you know, every other first of its gen console that didn't end up being the most powerful? You're welcome to think its underpowered, but there is no need to be willfully ignorant.

Ouch.

Time to ban some people I would say.often times we have some users bringing up this useless discussion about saying that Wii u is not next gen

I wouldn't even call it a debate. One person is erroneously spouting b.s. while the other is not. A generation has never been framed by the power of its devices. It's simply a marker of time.

If Nintendo wanted to make a supercomputer with onboard A.I. capable of buttering toast, they could easily build it. That is obviously not their angle. Every generation preceding the wii, Nintendo has matched (and in some cases, outmatched) the competitors' offerings on the tech front. It's rarely a winning formula. @slowdance is right...the only people who care enough to b*tch about graphic thresholds should have enough sense not to play on consoles.

So shouldn't this thread be locked or something? Preorders are done, stores are getting new shipments in, the console is in the wild...not really seeing a need for this anymore.

this thread should be locked... i'm posting this message from my wii u, it's not hard to find. i used the $20 Groupon offer on it, it works fine.

Cheapy's too busy getting blasted with Scott!!

I have to bite my tongue to not respond to anything here, I wish it would be moved.

Yeah i think im going to justctry my lucky.So pissedat myself f or not thinking thatthrough...i just wanted to jump in and play Nano Assault and Zombi U...whatif i just switch the insides?

Yeah, I meant to shut this down a few days after the console launched but just got busy with my own shopping .

I am closing it now. Discuss the Wii U in this thread:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=309784

FWIW, I went to Fred Meyer today and saw both versions sitting in the case. So far this is not like the Wii launch - not sure if it is more supply or less demand or a combination of the 2, but it is what it is...
