Got a deluxe at Target. Just walked in and went to the electronics. Didn't have a preorder. They had 3 basic and 2 deluxe left for non-reserved ones.

Just got back from my Best Buy(who decided to open an hour early for whatever reason), and picked up my pre-ordered Deluxe no problem. I have no idea how many they have/had as I never saw their stock, but one of the employees did remark, "Wow, I had no idea these would be so popular".

Heads up on the WALMARTS went to my local one in Norwalk CT and was told they have about 30 consoles after the pre-orders but could not tell me how many of each model. I was also told that they dont plan on selling any of the extras until all the pre-orders have been picked up. They are proactively telling people they dont have any just to settle down the crowds. (This is from the electronics manager of my local store after prodding for about 20 mins and not accepting her B.S. answer of not having any) She said just to call throughout the day to see when the last pre-order has been picked up then head down.......No worries though walked into a Best Buy at 930am and got my Deluxe!!!!

I am jealous. I want that hat.

I know right. Plus it's been out for like 2 hours.

The lines weren't bad around the area here, the walmart I got mine at was already sold out(lucked up and got mine via walmart.com so it was waiting on me this morning) but it sounds like other stores here had them at opening this morning.

I expect as it gets closer and closer to Christmas that these will be harder to come by, the marketing wasn't that big for it, I think I've only seen 2 Wii U commercials on TV. Once the kiddies see them in stores and play some demos they'll want em'. Seems like I've heard more bitching from flippers than anything (not on here, just on other forums).

Waiting on that damn system update to finish now so I can play.

Best Buy is taking everything BUT consoles for store pick up today. I was gonna hit up Target/Toys R U but just gonna go in and price match NSMB U, ZombiU, CAWADOODIE and Batman with the Target deal. Also got a Pro Controller for pick up.

I'm picking up my deluxe model in a little bit from gamestop and I bought zombie u and nsmb games. The question is do I just gift wrap this for Xmas right away for my gf? Or give it to her today haha

Just came from BB and it seems to be a pretty quiet launch for this thnig. I remember when the Wii came out, the lines for the thing was outside the store and they had alot of extra employees around just to deal with that. I went to the store a few minutes after opening and there wasnt many people in the store and I only saw one person who purchased 2 deluxe versions. My BB didnt even have a section for it in the gaming department as all the system, games and accesories were on a table up at the front.

Processing
Your order is being processed. It will arrive on Tuesday, 11/20/2012

Walmart.com sucks. I ordered this thing all the way back on September 16th, it should have shipped by now.

i need to buy that cradle for the gamepad

The 20% off at toys r us works with the pro controller, just got one!!!!

The Target off Airport Rd in Allentown, PA had a couple Basic Wii Us as of about 10:45am today. I wanted the Deluxe so I passed on it. They're at the guest services desk.

Kmart here in Buffalo only had 2. It was just me and 1 other person waiting at the door, so it work out good. But people kept calling while we were cashing out asking if they had any. Walmart sold out quick last night at midnight and so did best buy here

Well, it's available at all my local walmarts, deluxe and regular. Online and in-store. Not going to buy or get one. I can wait. I don't want to spend the money.

I would still like a Wii though. I Have lots of Wii games.

I did not preorder. Walked into Target in a busy section of Phoenix this morning at 9 A.M. and bought a Deluxe. They had about 3 or 4 left as well.

That was really easy.

Where is the in-store pickup option on Walmart.com so that I can check the inventory at my local store?

Because yes my Walmart had some thing morning but they were being held for those that preordered.

I can't seem to access my $20 I have on my 3DS Shop on my Wii U Shop. I thought this was transferable?

Best buy in Rockford ill has four black wii u still and 8 white ones time is 10:27 AM

Local Target stores were holding units for reservations (I know because I know more than a few people who work stock and Electronics at local Targets). The store where I got mine this morning was holding units for reservations. Yes, they sold through their inventory (about 80 deluxes), but they were still holding reservations. Now...how long were they going to sit on those? I don't know.

Where do you live? 80 Deluxes? I would be willing to bet that is more deluxe units then the small metropolitan area I live in got... all retailers combined. You must have one of those new super mega exaggeration Target's.
