I don't see a Fami one there. I assume you mean a red and gold one like the Famicom?

NM. I see it. It is just the button color but that is from the Super Fami not the first one.

wow! now walmart is forcing it's customers to pick additional items (including a crappy 3rd party controller) and charging a premium on top of everything. and I thought that the $5 layaway fee was bad

Wait until launch date and we'll find out how many of us will get system in hand

Anyone know anything about if they will do midnight releases or is it just based on the store?

The walmart where pre-ordered has layaway hours 9-9 also. The actual store closes at midnight. However, the employee at layaway did tell me that if I got to the store before midnight when the doors are still open on nov 17th and went back to the layaway section, They would give me the wii u at 1201 a.m.

On a different note, I still owe .01 but only because i asked the employee to leave the penny on the layaway after she tried to charge me the full amount, if it was up to her i would have just paid off the entire thing. Is there any actual downside to just paying it completely off?

Yeah. It should be called Super Famicom instead.

Wow, I thought that controller was just a photoshop someone did... didn't know it was an actual product!

Yeah, I can't wait to see how this plays out. I almost pre-ordered another white console at Target today just so I'd have some redundancy if Best Buy oversold their pre-orders. Dang it, I still can't find a Deluxe to pre-order anywhere.

Have the WM bundle in my cart but just can't force myself to pull the trigger at $467!

Wow....that Pro Controller U is making me want to buy it so badly......but I just know its going to drastically disappoint me.

On a side note, I do not want to see this topic on the 18th and 19th next month, it might be the most rage I have seen on CAG in years.

Indeed, still awesome though

Went back to the Target by me just now and still nothing.. sigh. I envy anyone who got their cards already, lol. Gonna check another one after work.

I do! Even if mine is one order that gets cancelled it will be worth it to see all the flippers crying and threatening lawsuits lol. Always the more amusement parts of these threads<3

Those are unofficial and clearly conceptual. If you buy into that, you're being a sucker.

Yes, there most certainly is a downside. The way layaway works is that everything is assigned a bin. If you paid it off, that means your item was removed from its bin. In other words, it would mean that you already have a Wii U in your possession, even if you don't, which is why the guys who paid them off are screwed and will have to bitch at management to Kingdom Come.

The target in my area finally got the cards in so I picked up two for me and as a gift for my brother in law. I am not optimistic that Target will hold the item. I know there are a few CAG Target employees and I was wondering How are these pre orders going to be handled? I asked the guy who rang up my purchases and he claimed they put pre orders behind the counter and will hold it but then when I was looking at the Vita which I hope to pick up on Black Friday another guy from electronics was walking around and he claimed it would be first come first serve even though its a pre order. I have a feeling there might be a lot of us who don't get our pre orders this holiday season but I hope I am wrong.

wow, didn't think its was that big a deal, only thought they might have trouble finding which label for the wii u, on the wii u i bought and reserved belonged to me. I have never been glad to owe someone a penny

Yeah, they screwed up and paid off my entire pre-order. It was a big pain to clear up and I'm still not 100% sure it's fixed. Basically, it puts your order into the void. It's paid off, yet a pre-order. So your receipt looks like you already picked it up. Worse, I couldn't even cancel and re-order... it's stuck. All the managers at my Walmart know about it, but I'm still concerned they won't actually ship my Wii-U there (you know, since it's already paid for).

I lucked out. Didn't even know Target was doing pre-orders. I have zero money to go and pre-order one until tomorrow. Sucks.... tomorrow I'll have enough to buy three Wii-U's if they were out and available already. Ah paychecks, bills, timing and life. I tell ya..... Congrats to those who were able to get multiples though (yeaaaa).....

so what is the veredict? Should we pay the wii u off now??? I am not getting it the problem here
