That worked out well for Sega when the Saturn came out. I was in the company meeting when they displayed their business model as similar to GMC with the Saturn being the Cadillac, the 3DX being the Buick, and the Genesis as the Chevy. I'm not kidding. You need to be all in when you launch a...

Okay, I have a theory. One that I hope I'm wrong about (but it's a sad statement about people in general). The payment on my Walmart bundle got screwed up somehow. So I called in to fix it. The CS then accidentally cancelled the order while changing the payment. Wait... there's more... then...

No controllers from Walmart for me either.

My wife is picking up one today. We're obviously going to be really mad if they let it go. Especially since it's paid down to 1 cent. Did anybody get screwed on a Walmart layaway? Seems like they've all been in stock.

Has anybody's order from Fry's shipped?

Yeah, cash out, close account. He probably set a delivery time a month in the future. Paypal theoretically covers your loss. I'm dealing with a gift card con like this and Paypal/eBay is giving the seller until the end of the month even though they used a fake phone number, haven't responded...

What? The deadline is in December 14th everywhere else, right?

"I am a licensed seller of Nintendo and I can lose my license for selling over MSRP so here it is." 3 feedback seller from Florida, what could go wrong?

Walmart has white Wii-U bundles (unit + game, no controller) online again.

$450!?!?!?! I thought these were supposed to go for a thousand a pop. Damn you CAG, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!

So are BestBuy an Target the only ones that shipped systems today?

I think you're both right and wrong. The reason the Wii-U is about as powerful as a 360 is that 25-30% of the processor is dedicated to the tablet controller. So even though the hardware is superior... it looks about the same. Now it's a question of whether that strategy was worth it. It...

I thought Lego Underground getting push back was pretty major, that was an early one they were really pushing to demostrate the Wii-U and will likely sell a ton. Marvel Avengers, Pimin, and Sonic Racing got pushed back too. That leaves basically Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Zombie U, and a bunch of...

Is it just me, or does the Wii-U commercial suck? I'm really starting to question if it's going to go bonkers for Christmas or not. Especially with so many game titles getting pushed back.

Yeah, deal dead for now. Mobile and regular.
