[QUOTE="AznbkdX"]

Forgot to preorder it :P.

Anyways, I'll take one if I can find one any time. Looking forward to ZombiU, NSMBU, and maybe some other random game I can't think of as of now on launch day.

Kind of focusing on getting rid of my PC backlog before then.

I'll sell one mine for $650.;)

I don't mean to be an ass, but I hope noone is stupid enough to buy a system that retails for $300 for double that price +$50, I mean i want one really bad, but I'd much rather wait a month, than spend double what I can get it for if I just wait until January to March. I also find it really selfish(even if profitable) to take what could be someone else's Wii U, and sell it for double the price.

If people were buying kinects for $350 at launch, I'm sure I'll find some potential buyers.

That's the sad part, I'm sure you'll make a good profit, Xmas shoppers can be so desperate. I'll be waiting though, I won't pay more than 400 tips, but I think I'm just going to wait to buy one myself. Let us know if you et someone to pay 650 though.

Ya pretty much thats why they did not change the name. It a new controller and for some reason thats what the U stands for? They did the same thing more or less with the n64 expansion pack. Just a little change to an out of date system to keep on making money on it.

No the wiiu should be able to do 480P/I. Early reviews of NG3 do show it to be weaker than PS3/360 but I think it will be able to do full lowdef/ standard def. We will need to wait to see if it can do anything else.

It actually just sums up the Miiverse and internet browser functions from the last Nintendo Direct that focused on Miiverse. Nothing new

Yeah, other than what NSMBU specifically does with Mii-verse, it is pretty much a slightly more in depth look/demo at/of what we already know

I would probably get a Wii U if it was the kind of thing that I could just walk into a store and buy. It's sort of ridiculous that you have to be on a waiting list for something like this.

So let's talk about this. The latest video showed Bill Trinen staring at an orange the same way Iwata stared at a bunch of bananas near E3 earlier this year. What could they be hinting at? Another Yoshi Story?

Try Target and maybe Toysrus I don't think they really did much preorders, Target did reserve cards but they've never been that reliable on tracking how many of those they sell.

I'm sold on the game, and while the multiplayer looks pretty fun, it is just not even close to as enticing as the single player is.

I'm excited for the Wii U but it it lacks the extreme novelty or the Twilight Princess that made me wait in line for 6 hours to get a Wii at launch. A Wii U deluxe with New Super Mario Bros U is over $400... I'll get one within the next 12 months for sure but not now.

the way the player in that vid switches between gaming, internet, and tv is a very modern touch. It totally reminded me about how manically i approach my entertainment

Quick question: Is that NintendoLand Plazza thing the same as Playstation Home, just using the Mii's? (minus the part of having your on "home" in PS Home)Desmonic
It is similar in that its real people walking around with avatars. It doesn't have a broad focus like home does though. Nintendo land is a video game

Crappy poll is crappy. No option for not getting it. I am not getting one because I already have a current gen console and don't need another one. I am waiting on the "real" next gen consoles to get here. I also don't like the controller and other than ZombiU, the games suck.

ZombiU is pretty neat. Besides that, I just don't think I have have a friend stop by and have them see me using that tablet thing. New tech usually tickles my interest just from that new product "high," but not a blip on the radar with this one. Enjoy all.

You sold a WiiU for 800$? Dafuq!? How? O.o?

Well as an incentive to sell I offer one free game. So the customer will get the Deluxe edition Wii-U with a copy of probably NSMBU Someone on craigslist contacted me, The original sell price was 700 with a game. He offered me 100 extra dollars to hold on to it for it. So $800. I reserved two of them. I can essentially at this point get the Wii-U for free. Which I think I'm probably going to keep. Though I know how bad some early adopters can get screwed.

Respect dude :P Pretty great business you managed there!

Thank you. I don't know if I should keep it. I'm just flip-flopping consistently :P Though I could make more money of some poor parents misery for a need of a wii-U :evil:
