how the hell am i supposed to exchange my messed up wii u for a new one at gamestop if gamestop stores are all out of wii u's......ughhhhhhh i dont wanna deal with sending my wii u to nintendo:(

If you whinge enough Nintendo will make it really easy for you.

There's a saying, the squeaky door is the one that gets oiled.

Console launches suck. Some of us get screwed. I had a wiiu basic unit on preorder at a gamestop but was out of town when it came out. I wasn't able to get my unit until a 5 days after launch. I had feared that the moronic gamestop employees would open it up and play with it and sure enough when i picked it up and got it home it was missing all the protective plastic on the controller and screen. Someone had opened it and messed with it. Maybe they swapped mine out for parts of someone elses because I have a screen with backlight bleeding. Unfortunately the only thing I can do is write a letter to Gamestop HQ. When I confronted the employees about that they said they would look into it but there was nothing they could do unless I wanted to return it.

Supply and demand sucks. It's always best to wait on a launch of a new system.

Surely that's a breach of your consumer rights?

[QUOTE="psymon100"]

[QUOTE="rubber-chicken"] Wow... that sounds ridiculous. I would just return it and wait for a new shipment. At least you had a Wii U to test and you could have a fresh new one now! :Prubber-chicken

Exactly. They misrepresented the final product as being 'new'.
