dazzybee Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I'm HOPING I don't need the next xbox of ps. But ultimately if shit like watch dogs and Starwars 1313 only come out, I'll just have to pick one up. I really don't play games like I used to and buy more games than I will ever play, but there's just something I need to play; or have the opporutnity to play but never actually do it... *sadlife*
not_so_tiny Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 This many! this picture was taken in July, I've since purchased 2 Wii, 2 DS, 1 3DS games. This makes me wish I didn't trade in my old games. My collection would be godly.
Darren Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 ShopTo/TNT were great with my 3DS. I was expecting it a day early. However, TNT tried to deliver two days early. Nobody was in so they left a note saying they'll try again tomorrow. Then the driver turned up at 8:30PM the same day with my 3DS. Same! My 3DS came a day or two early, I was very happy with the service. I have a backup plan. I have a friend who is a manager at Tesco, will just get her to get me one at midnight Good luck with that, they'll all be allocated, so you should secure one all the same.
madeinbeats Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) EDIT -- it's an extra 50% console trade in value credit !!! GAME may be offering 50% off Wii U for console trade ins. If this doesn't work with Wiis, I'm screwed. http://www.videogamer.com/news/game_to_offer_50_extra_trade-in_on_hardware_against_wii_u.html "Pre-ordering is a great way of guaranteeing a Wii U for the release date and our exceptional trade-in offer gives customers a massive 50% extra value on any console or handheld console traded in against the Wii U." F me, GAME, I think you have a customer. Edited September 19, 2012 by madeinbeats

Ike Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Don't trade in your Wii if you have VC/Wiiware games on it and want to transfer them, remember That's an impressive deal though, wonder if it would work with stuff like the original DS model? (Probably not)
Serebii Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Don't trade in your Wii if you have VC/Wiiware games on it and want to transfer them, remember That's an impressive deal though, wonder if it would work with stuff like the original DS model? (Probably not) They say "Any". That's a form of contract with no clause listing any console specifics
Cube Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 The deal is 50% extra trade-in value on any console when trading it in for a Wii U.
Debug Mode Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 The deal is 50% extra trade-in value on any console when trading it in for a Wii U. So every ones Wii's will be worth a massive £15 trade-in value! An exaggeration right now, but it wouldn't surprise me if it goes down that low in the run up to Wii-U.
madeinbeats Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) The deal is 50% extra trade-in value on any console when trading it in for a Wii U. Ahh, so not 50% off... right.. shit.. still might work out as best value deal if trade it in, though maybe not if i have to put a wiimote in the box. I read because of the VC transfer, they are giving you a week after launch to hand it in and complete the trade. Shit man, I was convinced I was getting a premium Wii U for £155 then ;__; Out of interest, anyone willing to trade in their PS360s? Edited September 19, 2012 by madeinbeats
david.dakota Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Don't trade in your Wii if you have VC/Wiiware games on it and want to transfer them, remember Do trade in your Wii if you have VC/WiiWare on it. Game had great solution for this at 3DS XL Launch: buy your 3DS XL and tell them you have a 3DS to trade in; they charge you full price for the XL which you take home, transfer your data and then take your old 3DS in for the credit - which they offered a cash at the agreed rate. Its worth checking first, but I would expect them to do something similar. Edited September 19, 2012 by david.dakota Automerged Doublepost

If that's the case, it barely works out cheaper than Zavvi. Hype level deflation activated. I would be temped to trade in my 3DS and Vita. Only time I wish I owned a Vita. All is not lost, launch operation find-a-Wii cheaper than GAME trade in value!!!
Cube Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I just can't decide. I want the console because it's a new console, but none of the launch games.
Dcubed Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I just can't decide. I want the console because it's a new console, but none of the launch games. So wait until the games you want actually come out for it! Edit: Oh wait, hang on I forgot about the (probable) incoming shortages. In that case... time to broaden your horizons and give NSMBU, NintendoLand, Zombi U, Sonic & All Stars Racing, Scribblenauts Unlimited and Rayman Legends a chance! (Plus Fifa Wii U might turn out to be good, as well as Batman Arkham City AE and - as a real longshot! - Ninja Gaiden 3 RE...) Edited September 19, 2012 by Dcubed
madeinbeats Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Waiting is still an option for me... no Pikmin, no P-100. Beyond BLOPS2 which I half resent buying because I'd have no intention of playing 1 second of the single player campaign, I'm struggling to point at a game and say 'I want that one'... Oh, Lego City if that's launching.
Cube Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I don't think there's an official line-up yet as lots of places seem to be reporting differently. I even saw an article saying that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Bayonetta 2 (both apparently from Capcom) are launch titles.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 The release titles aren't set in stone yet. I mean companies are still announcing what titles will be available on the release day, with both Tekken and Sega Racing Transformed recently announced.
Cube Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I think the confirmed ones are: - Nintendoland - NSMB - ZombiU - Rayman Legends - Tekken - Mass Effect 3 - Assassin's Creed 3 - Black Ops 2 - Sega Racing Transformed - FIFA 13 - Nano Assault Neo - Trine 2 - Toki Tori 2. Others are expected (Batman, Darksiders) but haven't been confirmed.
Retro_Link Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 It's not much, but I think the current Amazon trade in price for a Wii is £15. Which is actually a pretty good price for just the console, as it's pretty much worthless in the marketplace today.
Serebii Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 America is getting more launch titles announced every day. I think they'll bulk announce it here next month Scribblenauts has made launch there, better make launch here
Agent Gibbs Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I'm at work now but off the top of my head Nes = 5 (sold some years ago and regret it) Snes = 10 playstaion = 12 N64 = 8 PS2 = 18 GCN = 10 Xbox = 6 Wii = 13 PS3 = 12 xbox 360 = 22 then if i include PC and handhelds PC = around 35/40 Gameboy = 20 GBA = 16 DS = 27 3DS = 12 so what was the point of the e-penis waving session? oh how many games... it depends on how good they are really, and if i decide to trade them in is an entirely different story, usually judge that on as i go to put them in the trade in pile do i want to play it,and after 5 min of play do i reconsider. If i hadn't trade them in, then i'd have had around 50 ps2 games, i know i was a few less than my friend and he had just below 60 As for WiiU i'm getting 3 games at launch, maybe another for Christmas, then probably one a month after that as thats what its ended up like with the 3DS so i expect similar with the WiiU
dazzybee Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 THere's still runours Need for speed is coming too. That would be incredible if so. Love Burnout Paradise! Looking forward to the launch being announced so I know exactly what to get an dhow much it'll cost me
david.dakota Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Looking forward to the launch being announced so I know exactly what to get an dhow much it'll cost me Judging by your previous lists a fucking fortune.
