I'm only an hour into the game and seeing the prices of cars that I want and how long it would take me to get enough credits for them has turned me completely off of playing. I honestly didn't care that they didn't have as many cars as previous games because I never unlocked them all anyways but...
Yeah the website shows no Wii U games for any locations. They're probably starting soon since there will be more titles and since they have trash like Fast and Furious in there for months.
I ordered day one of the sale and got my order cancelled on paypal and my credit card. Never had an online purchase ever rejected by my credit card so I suspect they must have some kind of issue with their payments.
