Oh I get you now. Yeah, if you haven't transferred any of your Wii content or haven't bought anything digitally on WiiU that's not bad.Im talking about trading in my Wii U, buying the WW bundle, and selling the WW code off. But im essentially paying $50 to get the Gamepad because I have a Deluxe already. I can get 224 at Gamestop for my Deluxe which I would do ASAP then preorder the WW bundle, sell off the WW code when I get it.
Im not taking as much of a hit. I paid like $350 for a Zombi U bundle off Newgg and sold ZombiU for like 30 I think. It also came with a pro controller
That will happen with every electronic device put on the market. There are always going to be a few duds out there, which is why companies provide the 1-year warranty. Overall though, the Wii was and still is a very dependable system.My launch Wii failed the first time it tried to play Smash Bros. The disc started spinning really fast like it was possessed and it made a grinding noise. I had to ship it back to Nintendo and they fixed it for free.
What exactly makes you think it'll be a code and not the much more likely pre-install?Im talking about trading in my Wii U, buying the WW bundle, and selling the WW code off.

I dropped by a gs yesterday and they told me $50 down. I still ordered from bb for points and to retain silver and they charge full price at time of order. If bb opens this up to in store too I'll order in store and cancel online.GameStop charges for shipping while Best Buy does not. But I'd rather order in-store somewhere. Is Gamestop taking in-store pre-orders? If so, how much do you have to put down?
all you need is to take the sku #, and bring it to customer service at your local bb. you should be able to preorder it.I dropped by a gs yesterday and they told me $50 down.

Thanks for the clarification man its much appreciated.Yup that's the Limited Edition SKU. I had to make a second stop at Gamestop because they pre ordered the wrong one the first time.
amazon has a business fallout with nintendo, so the answer is no. but amazon still allows third party sellers to sell nintendo products.Wtf Amazon's carrying it?
ThisIf a $300 pre-authorization plus tax is constraining you from doing anything, you shouldn't be buying something like this or anything for that matter until you get your financial situation in much healthier shape.
How in the world are you getting 60% bonus trade in value at GameStop?Actually looking at Gamestops TIV for a 32 GB, its base is 140 + 60% = 224. Thats not bad I guess. I really dont know how much the Gamepad will go for. It might just be better to buy that separate. WW DL will get 30-40. So lets just say 250 for my Wii U and WW HD sold. Im then paying $50 for the Gamepad and Hyrule Historia digital. The Gamepad would have to be more than $50 cause its the only thing about the system thats appealing. I might just wait for resellers to flood it.
50% Playcation coupon and 10% PUR Pro.How in the world are you getting 60% bonus trade in value at GameStop?
if I'm not mistaken this is limited to preorders. plus it helps being an exclusive.I just hope it really is limited edition.. especially since GS wants $60 + tax.
Very fair price IMO.I just hope it really is limited edition.. especially since GS wants $60 + tax.
Yeah with NIntendo stuff that EVER says "limited edition" they mean it. You are correct by saying that it won't last after pre-orders.if I'm not mistaken this is limited to preorders. plus it helps being an exclusive.
Even though Nintendo's special release systems sell out fast, I kinda feel like Nintendo will keep this bundle around for a while. WWHD is basically a filler title that they know will sell and they need something to help Wii U sales. Then again, re-sellers know how valuable these releases are so they're probably stocking up so it could sell out fast anyway even with ample stock.People already trying to overcharge for this on Amazon makes me sad for those who just want this system because they love Zelda. It seems like almost everyone is in this for profit.Thankfully NewEgg, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Target still have stock, so this doesn't seem super rare at this point.
Cuz Gamestop is sleezebags.so anyone know why Nintendo mentioned $54.99 for the LE in their announcement?
Good point, I forgot after all the changes, the site was renamed to "MoneybucksGamer"If a $300 pre-authorization plus tax is constraining you from doing anything, you shouldn't be buying something like this or anything for that matter until you get your financial situation in much healthier shape.
The site has always been about sharing deals on games and other game related items. It's not about encouraging people with credit problems max out their credit cards to buy things they don't need. Gaming has never been a cheap hobby and even "cheap" games are an unnecessary luxury if you can't get your financial house in order.Good point, I forgot after all the changes, the site was renamed to "MoneybucksGamer"
Even if money is not an issue, your post still violates the very principles the site was built on back in 2003.
There really shouldn't be a difference period in this case, though. Nintendo announced it at $54.99 and GameStop is the only place selling it. They should have had this sorted out between them.Cuz Gamestop is sleezebags.
I preordered with them, first preorder since 2008. Not happy that I have to do business with them but I want that figure and despite them charging $5 more dollars, $5 isnt that much.
Who are you to tell people how to use their money. If someone wants to play Zelda instead of having money for food then that is their choice.I also never understand the "do you think this deal will last till next week when I get pay?" posts we often see here. If you need to wait till payday for a $60/40/whatever game, you really shouldn't be buying that... at the very least, eat noodles for a month, build up a hundred or two cushion if not atleast have a few K in your bank.
It is very different to have a budget to limit your monthly game expenditure than not having money to pay for it until payday.
Have you ever thought that maybe they already spent the money they set aside each pay check for games or whatever else? Just because they don't have money for games until they get paid doesn't mean they don't have money in the bank. Maybe they just don't like spending more than a certain amount on gaming each check.I also never understand the "do you think this deal will last till next week when I get pay?" posts we often see here.

Well shit I have fifty bucks credit I wanted to use towards it. Oh well. I guess Im off to game stop,amazon had a dispute with nintendo about console returns due to screen damage. Only nintendo systems for sale on amazon are by third party sellers now.
So I use " code saver " for free shipping ?Yes sir, use code saver for free shipping.
SAVER is the code for free shipping, however it can't be used on consoles. GameStop does charge tax for online orders.So I use " code saver " for free shipping ?
I tried that and got an error

I've never ordered from gamestop.com before and was wondering if they charge tax like best buy does?
