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 :heh:

 

 

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 :mad:

 

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

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

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 are. They won't know how much stock they're getting until the start of November

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.

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

Never mind what you've pre-ordered, but consider where you've preordered. Zavvi are absolutely shit at hitting release dates. I rarely use them and when I do its only ever for old stock stuff.
