Yeah I don't feel sorry for those who sold theirs in the $300's and $400's. Even at $500 they're still not making much after fleaBay and PayPal rips you off not to mention the shipping costs. The original point, I believe, was that there is a downward trend in the final prices. The only "legit" $600 ones I see are from a week ago. I see one that sold for $600 yesterday but look at the bidders.. they all joined eBay this week.

You newbie CAGERS that I suspect just came on here to blab about how much your going to make Wii U or gauge whats going, see where you can get them. You better start worrying.5 or 6 or 10 pre orders getting stuck or even even having to return them it's going to cost you. Gas and other issues enjoy. I love how you guys think you know more than us that havebeen here for years, good luck.

Congrats on you being here longer than us but I don't see what that has to do with anything. You're making it seem like CAG is the only forum of this type on the entire internetz and our join date indicates everything.

I will enjoy watching you suffer with your many Wii U's that are not selling above 400, you won't be able to cover the costs. It should be entertaining.

If I don't secure a console at launch for my neice, it will be a major disaster for me. Trust me. I'm here cause this seems to be a thread with the most activity on this topic. That doesn't mean CAG is the only gaming forum out there.

Meh, flippers be retarded. You can still pre-order (layaway for 10% down) the deluxe model at quiet a few wal-marts in the north Texas area.

Guaranteed delivery to the store on November 18th no less. My kiddo will be very pleased come Christmas morning.

What cakefoo said.

After a 2 hour call to Paypal where I had to confirm my info in very extensive ways, they released my funds. It was a major pain in the butt.

Did they ask you for your social? What kind of info did you have to submit?

The Target preordering makes no sense. All they do is scan the UPC, they didn't even scan the unique code on the card. What is to stop someone from just pulling them off the shelf and taking them with them? Someone could bring a card from another store as well. It doesn't seem like it will guarantee a system.

Because most Wal-Mart employees didn't know, until their customers told them, that they should be doing layaway? Heck, there are STILL Wal-Marts who are giving people troubles.

I had to fax them a current utility bill with my address, they had to call the phone number listed on the account and speak with me, they deposited a few cents into my bank account which I had to wait for then tell them the amount and had to do a tax form since I was moving over $10,000.

For someone who has been here for years, you should know that there is no such thing as CAGERS. It's simply CAGs.

Cheap Ass GamerErs is retarded.

This entire thread has turned retarded.

I'll be flipping several of these come release week. Don't care. If they can't wait in line or pre-order thats too bad too sad. I really don't care. Blame Nintendo for not making enough to meet demand.

I'll have my Wii U for "free" after flipping 1 or 2 of these and likely several games. All in all it won't take me much time. Pre-ordered two from GameStop and will grab a few from Target. And if they are not so "hot", oh noes, i'll have to *gulp* return them. Oh man, I'll never get those 5 minutes of my life back.

But I suspect I won't have to. Don't worry - i'll post full details come the 18th when several people here will be whining they couldn't just "walk in the store and by it" like several people are actually stating. Apparently they were too young to remember the Wii.

Originally Posted by soxxx There will be Wii Us available at EVERY Target, Bestbuy, Kmart, TRU, Etc. on Day one. Nintendo told each company the exact amount of preorders they were allowed to take. Im positive each company listened and took the maximum amount that Nintendo allowed. I know for a fact Bestbuy did that. The preordered Wiis will not be the only Wiis available on launch, in order for a store to advertise something in their Sunday Flyer, THEY HAVE TO HAVE the minimum number listed. Its a law, the Wii U will be in the Sunday flyer (OBVIOUSLY), so Bestbuy would have to have the minimum they list. It might be 5, it might be 1. There were lawsuits on black friday situations where stores falsely advertised products in the flyers just to get people in the store. They had 0 of the product in the store which is illegal if your advertising. So anyone who preordered should be safe, anyone who didnt will still have a chance come launch day because EVERY store will have the Wii U in the Sunday flyer, it draws crowds into the stores. The 2nd shipment will come for Black Friday 4 days later, so if you do miss out, just wait till black friday. Although I think at that point hype will be through the roof. When the wii launched it wasnt really popular, but come launch day the hype was through the roof and by the end of the day it was all over TV, talk shows were playing it leading up to black friday, and by black friday the lines were 10x worse than launch day itself.

Can we quote you on this next month? Will be laughable around noon or so when everyone is sold out and freaking out.

What "lawsuits" have you seen go all the way through for this stuff? Can you please link me to these? What was the settlement (if any)?

Advertising Wii U's is fine. I'm sure they will. If they only had 1...well, they only had 1. Sucks to be the other 89 people hoping to snag one last minute.

I don't think people realize how much money a company has to put out up front to produce consoles at launch. That's a big part of why supply is low as well.

Correcting me on it is idiotic. Go back to sleep.
