went to my walmart today at 3pm and the layaway person knew right away what to do. took about 5 minutes...

my walmart sucks i'm surprised they actually did something right. In the past I usually had to wait 30 minutes when I tried to do instore pickup.. and if i asked someone they said they can't help or they will go in the back and ask and then i never see them again.

I just preordered one from Walmart in Stillwater, MN. They had no idea it was even going on. Had to show them the memo before they would even check on it. They had no interest in even checking on it for me until I told them I wanted them to find out what was going on.

LOL, don't jinx it.

Got mine today went to Walmart here in Coos Bay, OR around 8am saw no one was in line so I went to have breakfast and came back around 8:30 still no one there. So I sat on the bench until 9 then some lady helped me she knew what I was talking about just had to get a manager because she had acouple of questions bout the memo. Pretty much once the manager got there they entered all my info I paid $40 for now got my receipt and left. I was the only one in line so first yay! xD

I went to walmart. Blue Laws had layaway closed. >.>

Good God, how are Walmart employees that stupid? It's on the front page of their ad.

I am just curious. I am not buying one to do this but,

How much do you think a WiiU will sell on eBay during the first week of launch?

I remember seeing Wii's go for $700-800...

Once again I am not pre-ordering one to re-sell it.

Good luck. Wal-Mart only gives you 15 days to return Video Game Hardware

I say 450-550. This is definitely not as hyped as Wii was.

North Dakota? My wife did her grad internship there and the first time I heard about the Blue Law while shopping at Wal-Mart late on a Saturday, I thought it was a joke.

That seems low. I saw the $249 iPhone 5's selling for $700 on eBay last week...

For the clueless Walmart employees, I just need to take the memo right? and they should know what to do after that?

target.com just cancelled my WiiU preorder, thankfully I had a backup at gamestop (#1 on list)

Since the system is out in over30 days she told me I'd have to do at least one more payment, even if $10. Anyone else hear this?

Did u just preorder or did u go in the morning? Thinking of heading over to porter ranch soon

I work at Walmart. Came in at 1 wanting to preorder before clocking in. The person over layaway said the Wii U was a printing error. I asked to speak to a manager since I knew better. She said no. I said ok and clocked in. I spoke to a manager and told him to find the memo for the Wii U. We found it and got the pre order ready to go. She said she even turned down people earlier for it too. Good thing I work there I guess... Ordered two and the discount worked.

Went in at 1230PM to the Porter Ranch Walmart...

Didn't even have to wait in line

Layway is by the Garden cashiers (it's the one on the left by the bikes).

Damn that sucks, getting a bit worried about my Gamestop.com preorder but well hopefully all ends well.

That will drop a lot once the release day gets here and all the other flippers put there stuff up. They will end up driving the price down since at least 75% of the sales seem to be bums looking to make money off someone elses work. I would say come release date, $450 (Deluxe version) seems about what I imagine they will be selling for. The low price on Amazon for the Wii U drops every other day.
