    I'll be sure to do that...and I'm glad we agree about the comparison (minus your sarcasm of course)

    I consider the term "hard core gamer" to be more synonymous with the level of commitment to gaming and, in some cases, the types of games that are played and to what extent they are played.

    I consider myself a hard core gamer and I plan on buying and playing Wii U. If you need further proof, just compare my gamer score on 360 to yours. ;)

    I think I read somewhere earlier that it applies a patch that enables play of Wii games. Not sure what else is included.

    Also, for some reason, they didn't have ANY copies of NSMBU. They had pretty much everything else. Not sure what the deal was with that.

    Just got back from Wal-Mart. They only took 3 preorders. Other than that, they only got in FOUR basics and NO deluxes. Some of the people lined up at layaway were pissed. I waited until they left, paid for my preorder, snagged a Pro Controller, and got the hell out of Dodge before the pissed...

    This is what New Egg told me: "We apologize for the inconvenience. We have an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) as 12/31. It is for all the pre-orders. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimated date of arrival given to us by the manufacturer. " Not sure what to say about that....

    I just contacted New Egg about the Wii U Pro Controller release date...and this is the reply I got: "We apologize for the inconvenience. We have an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) as 12/31. It is for all the pre-orders. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimated date of arrival given to...

    Does anyone know whether or not New Egg has pushed the date for the Pro Controller back for ALL preorders, or just if you order it now?

    I have to agree with this. This was also being discussed a few pages back. I tested my wireless speed and this is what I got: Download: 48.70 Mbps Upload: 4.59 Mbps Ping: 11 ms When I play online games wirelessly (and that includes more than one console online at once on the same signal), I...

    I, too, was told by a Walmart employee that they would NOT cancel my layaway unless I had not picked it up by Dec. 14. I told her that I had heard otherwise on the Internet and she laughed at me. She said "sir, you have been given some misguided information." Also, how in the world could they...

    I will admit that I'm not much of a "fighting game" person, but I wasn't trying to say that wireless is superior, just that I have had no issues with it. Just for context, I did a speed test on my connection over the wireless signal on my laptop, and this is what it said: Download: 48.70 Mbps...

    Either some of you guys have really crappy Internet connections, or I have a really good one. We have four consoles hooked up, three of which are wireless, and we have no problem whatsoever, no lag or anything. That includes if different people in the house are playing online at the same time. I...

    That kind of makes the idea of "reservation card" a moot point doesn't it?

    This is the actual financial report that they are quoting if anyone cares to read about it: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/121025/02.html It doesn't say anywhere in there that Gamestop exceeded their allotment.

    I think that the article in question may have misquoted the financial report. This is the only thing I could find that remotely resembles that in the actual financial report: "To give a nice anecdote which illustrates how well pre-orders are doing at the moment, GameStop, which is the largest...

    I put one of my preorders on Craigslist just to see if I would get any bites. I specifically stated that the console would be available on launch day. Just got flagged and removed. Oh well....

    I think what some of these folks that are worried are trying to get at is that they never witnessed the labels in question being printed by the cashier, per the instructions on the memo, so they are concerned that this will cause issues with receiving or being allowed to pick up their preorder...
