Wow. Now I'm really thankful for the Best Buy stores in my area. I've never had an issue with an in-store pickup, pre-order or not. They've always been absolutely solid.

It's nice they took care of you with basically a 50% discount... but still sucks they can't follow basic protocol by holding a pre-order.

How does this even happen? I preordered mine from BestBuy.com and they were in an entirely different section of the store. Mine had my name right on the box and required my credit card to checkout (e.g. like every other BestBuy.com in-store pickup I've ever done). It makes me mad that some of...

When I talked to the woman at layaway when I placed the pre-order, she told me it will sit in the back until I come and get it, or until Dec. 14. I think this guy's Wal-Mart manager is just a a$$hole. Layaway is not backup inventory... people have put down deposits knowing that they have a...

I bought that one. Two protectors for $9.99. I got it on pretty quick with no bubbles and minimal particles trapped underneath. It looks and feels really good.

Weird. I just re-checked my receipt... it definitely says Dec. 14.

My receipt says Dec. 14. I already have my Wii U, but I have a couple on lawaway at Wal-Mart for relatives. I was headed out there today. I find it rather dubious that a layaway purchase would be arbitrarily canceled three weeks before the deadline listed on the receipt without a phone call or...

I'm in Oregon and mine is ready for pickup.

Best Buy has my Wii U and NSMBU listed as ready for pickup! I have church until noon, so I'll stroll in afterward tomorrow when all the craziness has subsided. Awesome.

Best Buy stores and BestBuy.com are two separate entities, so pre-orders for in-store pickup would have always been separated from the in-store stock.

Why? Whether you paid it off or not, layaway still works the exact same way. If they're going to accidentally sell a reserved console that is supposed to be cataloged and set aside , they're not going to discriminate over one that is paid in full versus one that only has the deposit down...

I guess if you're really bad at managing your finances. I don't usually "worry" about swiping my credit card or handing over cash to pay the rest of a pre-order balance. We've just seen multiple cases here of people unnecessarily paying off their Wii U layaway at Wal-Mart before picking it up...

Maybe it's just a function of being over 30 and having a steady job, but I don't understand why anyone is even bothering to pay off their interest-free layaway balance early.

I made sure the credit card I used had plenty of limit so it had a minuscule chance of being denied.

That's good to hear that it really was a glitch. I think the issue with my friend's debit card was that either his bank denied the charge for some reason and Best Buy just canceled it without telling him or asking for a different payment type. He got an email after the order was canceled and...

Ditto. I'm going at a time when there will be no line and no worries.

I made an online Best Buy pre-order for in-store pickup right after the Wii U price and date were announced. A buddy of mine did the same thing, but he stupidly used a debit card to pay, and the pre-order was eventually canceled. This might be a glitch, but it could also be that your preorder...

Ditto.

Technically, Best Buy and BestBuy.com are two separate entities. Wii-U consoles purchased as in-store pre-orders on BestBuy.com should never even hit the shelf.
