Sorry, I only deal with reality, not in ideals.

Is everyone else here who pre ordered a wii u at target going when they open in hopes they won't give away your pre order? I keep getting told different things by different workers there so I am hoping to get there right as they open

Did you actually pre-order in the store? I just called up mine and they said they are doing first come first serve.

I need to do the red card as well now that you mention it. Although I think you need a blank check... which I do not have.

I'd rather have neither, thanks.

yeah. what the hell is this, north korea?

Can't say I feel bad for those who didn't get in early. Snooze and you lose.

Yes, I bought a reservation card in Target. I was told they would hold these for up to 7 days, but I plan on being there when they open.

I'm not sure if it was regional, but the Walmarts outside Ft Hood, TX used to give a military discount back in the day ('89, '90 timeframe) May have been the proximity to the base and/or the first Gulf. I do remember we all got out of taking HS mid-terms because of the the war.

I'm a disabled veteran. Been separated since '05. I almost always forget to ask about a military discount whenever I shop. When I was active it was the first thing out of my mouth (after Hello) when I hit register.

It's funny to see all these folks buying/playing these military based video games like COD:BLOPS2 who would never have enough balls to even join the military.

Instead of mouthing off, why don't you write or do something to secure all of those benefits? Oh right, I forgot, it was much easier for you to ramble on the internets. I have relatives serving in the Navy and Marines but they don't go prancing around being above everyone else. Did they their job and occasionally received appreciations gifts and thanks but they didn't abuse and flaunt it. Serving does not excuse you from humility and being humble like an ordinary citizen.

beautifully said. look i am glad we have volunteering armed service people willing to serve in the army. that being said we dont need to create a special class of people with special perks. give the military proper compensation? hell yes. create a life long series of special perks and benefits? God no. not every military guy serves in a war, not every one of them is some amazing self less person, and like any job pick 100 people and hire them and half of them will just flat out suck the army is no different. so no not every solider is created equal.

so i really think people need to get their heads out of the sand and realize not every solider is created equal and they dont deserve some life long special set of perks. proper compensation yes but if they come home in one piece let that be the end of it. take a page out of george washington. he lead the army to victory then quietly disappeared back home till we needed him again then after 2 terms as president(voluntarily leaving office something our modern politicians should consider) once again just slipped off into the sunset to live at home not demanding life long benefits, respect or even a freakin holiday....now that was a humble solider that served his country for the right reasons.

be forever thankful for their service? most certainly. be glad? hell yes. suck up and worship the ground they walk on? no not in a 1000 years.

America already has some of the highest tax rates around....

Would this hard drive work with the Wii U?

That looks like it would to me... and that would be plenty of storage, I'd think. I was going to buy a 1 tb drive, but I didn't realise there were smaller drives like this available so cheap.

When I worked at EA we had police and fireman come in to our EA store all the time. They bought so much games that we had to implement purchase limits to control things

Just got back from my local TRU. I asked if they were going to have any extra Wiiu's available besides the pre-ordered systems? My nephew wants one for Christmas. The manager who I know fairly well told me they still haven't recieved their shipment yet. But according to the numbers he is suppose to get, my TRU over sold the pre-orders by 37. The manager said they were going to get 6 Basic and 12 Deluxe. Looks like I will be there Sunday morning at 6am to make sure I get one.
