I wanted to get one online, and my TRU is crap so I don't trust them for pre-ordering or day 1 purchases(been burned a few times by this particular store).

Does anyone know if older titles will experiece any upscale in graphics due to the hd compatability?

Dammit! It's sold out at Target already? What's the likelyhood they'll have more for sale prior to launch?

#1 on the pre order list at the gamestop I getting it at. I can't wait.

Now I'm possibly screwed out of getting one right away b/c of people like you that have to buy multiple to try and make a profit off of people who weren't quick enough to hit the pre-order button. Not cool.

You snooze, you lose. That's how the games always been played. You all should know that by now.

I think they will, but not much

I believe they will announce more mid to late october of both styles, also dont forget bestbuy have only sold out online pre-orders only. I talked to a best buy rep today at my store (Austin, TX) and they will begin pre-orders soon for instore only (They could be wrong though.).

I picked up my preorder from in a bestbuy store yesterday. I had to use the kiosk to find the preorder, print out a ticket, then head to customer service to get checked out.

Really? I stated I was waiting for Amazon. I know they'll give me quicker shipping and they're the only retailer that hasn't botched any kind of pre-order I've ever placed with them, and that number is probably in the 100's. BBY, WM, TARGET, GS(most especially) & TRU have either had a pre-ordered game arrive 1-2 days late, messed up my info, or had my order "lost". Now that Amazon is saying they won't have it, it's sold out everywhere else, partly because of people buying multiples for flipping.

From toysrus.com

"Your credit or debit card will not be charged until your item(s) is shipped, at which time we will email you tracking information. Before your item(s) is shipped, your debit or credit card statement will show what looks like a deduction from your account. Please note, these funds have not been deducted but are being reserved within your account to ensure your order can be processed. This is known as an "authorization hold" and typically lasts from 3-7 days, depending upon the policy of your bank."

"32 GB internal memory for storage"

Man, they really went all out on that one. It can almost hold as much as my micro SD card...

I hate these friggin authorization charges. Itll put my account negative, like wtf

I couldn't pre-order a Wii U Deluxe last night at GS. So, I put in a pre-order online at one BB last night then dropped by another BB this morning to pre-order instore using the kiosk. I'm hoping that I will get 1 console at launch.

The trade-off is you can use any external HDD you wish; no proprietary nonsense. The Chinese are just foaming at the mouth with piracy right now lol. Still, how many great games do you think will be stored on it after they exhaust their dynasty titles? I mean, after buying everything 3rd party on PS3/360, there's not much left.

just pre-ordered the 32gb deluxe console at best buy. used the kiosk and they only required the same $5 down as games. Hopefully by not doing a worldwide release day and spreading out the release dates means they will not run out like last time.

It will sell out because people think they're getting a fully functional tablet with their system, and they're not. I also wouldn't trust BB to manage their allocation properly, so expect some horror stories of people walking away empty handed.

And a tablet alone that accounts for half of the cost of the whole bundle. Doesn't bode well for the strength of the console itself.

The Walmart bundle doesn't look like a horrid deal. Most people probably want Mario anyways and a good and maybe an extra Wii-mote. I only have one Wii-plus that I got to just play Zelda with. Remember how bad the Walmart bundles were for the original Wii? You had to spend like 600 bucks and got a bunch of plastic tennis rackets and gold clubs.

At my local Gamestop ( Forest hills nyc ), I was able to preorder. They only asked for $25 down deposit for the deluxe Wii U. I went the same day it was announced around 7pm.
