Just reserve it now in case. If you change your mind later, cancel it.

You sure you actually got the WiiU? I'd go back tomorrow and double check b/c there is a portable Neo Geo coming out and I wonder if the rep put you down for the wrong item.

That will not be good for me. I have nearly $200 in credit.

What is the mininum requirement to put down on the WiiU systems when you preorder at Gamestop? Just wondering.

I would, but I'd prefer to be able to get Borderlands 2 and DoA5 CE.

Unless i end up just trading in my Wii for it now (Since i dont even play the thing)

So the deluxe version in Japan converts to $405. The extra controller converts to $170. I would assume a new Gamepad will cost $129-$159 here....that is STEEP.

Gamestop only gives like $20 bucks for a entire Wii system...sad but true. Then games aren't even worth trading in because it's $0.25-10.00 bucks a game. If you gonna sell it, just put it on Craigslist.

Here's some GAMESTOP WiiU PRE-ORDER INFO (in-store only for now):

- $25 down for PUR members; $50 for non-members
- There will be old hardware system promotion for trade-in towards a WiiU pre-order (http://www.gamestop.com/tradeins#wiiutradeup)
--- $50 credit for old Wii system
--- $115 credit for phat PS3 and slim Xbox 360
--- $140 for slim PS3 system
--- $90 for 3DS system, PSVita, or original Xbox 360
--- ADDITIONAL $10 BONUS for PUR members
--- Expires 9/23/12

- NintendoLand game only is still $100 in the computer, so buying the Premium $350 bundle is a steal! :-)

$25 - $50 in-store. $0 online.

Why on earth would anyone in there right mind trade-in a PS3 or 360 for a Wii U? People that need to save a few inches of space? Everyone should buy a VITA instead of this garbage.

Only 25$? Well thats good, maybe i can afford it after all. But is it 25$ for both? Or just the cheaper bundle

Does it say how much an extra gamepad is going for? Just curious.

I'll be taking a wait & see approach with this system. I've owned every Nintendo system since the SNES, but the thick layer of dust on my Wii has me thinking I'm better off waiting for a PS4/Xbox 720 or finally getting the gaming/HTPC I've been dreaming of.

Amazon.de is taking preorders on the Wii U.

Or people should buy what they want? Why must people feel the need to push their fanboy crap every chance they get?

I'll be taking a pass on this until we get some pre-order promotions. Otherwise I'll just wait until the game line-up is better.

Thanks for the heads up. I just called them and they just switched it out in their computers, so I'm good to go.

Wondering if the Black one is like a limited edition or something. I heard it comes with some Premium Loyalty Program that gives you 10% back when you buy downloads?

Thats the only way i could see myself going for it, otherwise, I can just wait till Monster Hunter 3 in March. (Or a good promo)

I'm not a fanboy, I'm a longtime Nintendo fan that has reached his breaking point with them. Sorry for the intrusion, Carry on.

Both preorders are $25 for PUR members. Gamestop employee said they are getting VERY few systems (after I had already committed to buy). Take that with a grain of salt. Kinda confirms the reports of delays in production.

Hmm...he didnt tell me anything about this and when he scanned my card it stayed at $50. I hope i'm preordered for the right item. To the rest of you who pre-ordered, does it say "wii u" on your receipt?
