He sounds like an asshole, to me.

Oh I see and agree now that u explained more.

Well, it. I pre-ordered Wii U on Wal-Mart. Hopefully it ships when they say it will.

Otherwise, I just hope Amazon does not start any feuds with Microsoft or Sony. I rather do my business with them.

Can you cancel a Wal-Mart preorder?

Also, how do you sign up for notifications from Amazon?

you should be able to cancel it from your walmart order detail page. Amazon notification sucks so don't bother. use zoolert or something similar.

It's now sold out for both of the stand alone versions on
Wal-Mart.com.

when amazon had the wii u up you just clicked sign up to become notified but since amazon took it down a long time ago i have no clue

I'm not really a fan of having multiple versions either, but I prefer black, so that's works out fine for me.

I preordered one. Glad I checked CAG for F1 2012 deals and saw this because I had no idea the preorders started.

I'm certainly not buying this console for any power underneath the hood. I look at is as a very late comer to the current generation of consoles. I'll play the new Mario game and then probably sell in early next year after I realize its collecting too much dust.

Rayman Legends is a Wii U exclusive.

Looks like the Basic model (8GB) is available again for pre-order at Best Buy!

FYI the deluxe model is officially sold out in store now as well.

I was mixing it up with Origins. My bad.

I preordered the deluxe in store at BB using the kiosk on Saturday. I'll hope for the best with them getting enough in.

Rayman Legends is a great launch game too. Or at least I expect it to be given how fantastic Origins is proving to be. I think Legends might be top of the list for me.

My pre-order (B&M) experience today:

Best Buy: Deluxe doesn't show up in kiosk, only Basic.
TRU: Clerk can't find any preorder tickets for Deluxe, so only able to offer preorder on basic
Gamestop: Clerk says they got an email saying to not sell any more preorders
Target: No preorders ("yet")
Walmart: No preorders
Other Gamestop: Same as first
Back to TRU: Printed some more deluxe tickets when I came back, but then clerk got told by another clerk that they're only taking preorders on Basic.

So yeah, no luck getting a deluxe.

Fanboy stuff needs to be taken elsewhere, please.

I wouldn't expect Wal Mart to do preorders. I never seen them even do preorders on games. No clue on Target, but I would expect the same.

Does Walmart bill upfront for preorders, or do they only charge upon shipment?

I think Walmart puts a hold on the money.

Pre-authorize upfront then release the charge in 3-5 business days.
