Agent Gibbs Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 @dazzybee where do you work? the bank of england? a casino? are you a disabled midget with 30 children and get a huge dole check a month? how they hell can you afford all of that? which is completely ignoring the question of where will you find time to use all of them. you are one rich man!
david.dakota Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 @dazzybeeare you a disabled midget with 30 children and get a huge dole check a month? Spot on there, but you missed the fact he also rents himself out to men.
Cube Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 but you missed the fact he also rents himself out to men. I can testify to that.
david.dakota Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I can testi Aww, imagine the sad look on his face when you finished that sentence.
are1981 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 This thread now reads less as Wii U Price Check, and more like Wiilling Uth Price Check.
dazzybee Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I can testify to that. Cubes paying for my wii u collection. I'm THAT good!

Mokong Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 So I original had a pre-order down in GameStop for the Prem Bundle and ZombiU game on it's own. Went in today and they finally got the ZombiU WiiU Bundle on their system so I switched my pre-order to that. And switched my ZombiU game pre-order to Nintendo Land....but was a bit surprised to learn that they have Nintendo Land down as a full price game (59.99 euro)? I was expecting it to be a bit cheaper than others. Hope they end up doing a good offer closer to release like they did with the 3DS where they gave two games for the price of one with a pre-order as I want to get Black Ops 2 also (not currently on their system) but if they are both full price I might cancel the Nintendo Land one If anyone wondering, prices here in Ireland seem to be like this at the moment Basic Bundle - 320 euro Prem Bundle - 370 euro ZombiU Bundle - 420 euro So the Pro Controller is adding about 50 euro to the price of the Prem bundle...which is about the price it would cost on it's own anyway (Gamestop didn't have a price on it but going by the Sterling price it about 50 euro).... I don't think the ZombiU Bundle is offering much in overall cost reduction Hopefully these prices also come down a bit closer to launch. I checked Symths Toystore here too and they are listing the same prices for the bundles as GameStop
Dcubed Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 They haven't actually announced game and accessory prices yet (in the EU at least) so whatever you see for them will probably be placeholders.
Cube Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Most games will likely be £49.99 RRP but £39.99 or less in all stores.
Serebii Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Most games will likely be £49.99 RRP but £39.99 or less in all stores. In all stores except GAME

dazzybee Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 How come I don't have these emails? Pretty tempted at the game at that price.
are1981 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I now have four pre-orders in! I have pre-ordered the Premium Pack three places for NOK 3199 (GBP 343), and one place for NOK 3299 (GBP 354). http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=3199&From=NOK&To=GBP http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=3299&From=NOK&To=GBP I am fairly confident I will get one on launch day.
Agent Gibbs Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 How come I don't have these emails? Pretty tempted at the game at that price. I'm always getting 10/20/30% discount codes from zavvi because I haven't used them in so long, not had one for ages otherwise I'd have considered per-ordering from them
Londragon Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 ZAVII PRE-ORDER HAS GONE UP TO £300. So has The HUT.
dazzybee Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 ARGH!!! Just realised my preorder with Zavvi is BOTH premium and zombi u pack Damn. Was going to cancel and reorder but Zombi U is sold out and they've gone up in price... Hmm... I guess i could sell the other one, or I wonder if I called them they would let me cancel one of them... I guess the price won't be coming down at all then. It's selling out at the higher price. One nil to retailer I guess
LukeLee Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Wow, thats the first english retailer I've seen saying sold out. I was beginning to worry that english retailers were just taking preorders with no idea of how much stock they would actually get for launch.

They won't know how much stock they're getting until the start of November
Grazza Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 If it carries on at this price I'm not getting one. Really thought my favourite retailer would have offered me a good deal by now, but no. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just surprised. You have to hand it to Nintendo. If the public really are desperate for Wii Us and are happy to pay £300, good luck to them. It's just that I haven't heard a single person talk about it in real life.

It's just that I haven't heard a single person talk about it in real life. Nintendo isn't setting the price. They set the industry price the retailers purchase it and it's the retailers who are setting the price. Due to high demand, there's no plan to drop it
LukeLee Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 They are. They won't know how much stock they're getting until the start of November I wonder why they are saying sold out now then. With American retailers quickly saying sold out, I imagined they had a better idea of stock levels.

Zavvi are absolutely shit at hitting release dates. I rarely use them and when I do its only ever for old stock stuff.
