Anyone's Gamestop having a midnight opening?  Mine isn't, pretty f*cking weak if you ask me.


It's the Wii U. You can wait a few hours. It'll have a lifetime of collecting dust after that, so no rush.

No stores are opening at midnight for the same reason Nintendo releases their stuff on Sundays: Nintendo is a goody two-shoes company targeted at children. Good boys and girls do not stay up past 8:30pm on Saturday nights because it's wrong and evil. So go to church in the morning and pick it up after. I mean you DO go to church....

Can you tuck me in tonight ?

Drove by a Best Buy and there was a line of 40 people outside waiting at 8:00.  Ended up in Walmart at 10:30 to get some Christmas lights and I asked in the electronics department what they were doing with the Wii U and they said "we did all preorders except 8 systems.  Currently there are 6 people waiting, so get in line.". Made me laugh because it is less than 40 degrees outside and hours earlier there was a giant line at Best Buy, when I could've just gotten in line at 10:30 and waited cozily inside for one.  Had one preordered so it is moot, but I was in a story telling mood.  One thing for sure, the thing will be in short supply.

That Wii U hard drive format will be cracked pretty quickly, allowing you to mount the drives on a PC and muck with the data. I wonder why any game system needs a multi-gigbyte OS. Just a few hundred megs would be more than enough, I would think.

Went to Toys R Us today to take advantage of the buy one get one 40% deal on Wii u games ( i dont even have mine yet, gotta wait for GS to open) They had one extra basic model. I decided to pick it up and try an make some extra cash on it to pay for the games i got and a possible pro controller.

I got my Wii U

Gamestop pulled a Watermelon Factory:

Bunch of instock signs all over the place for Wii U.

I said COOL GIMME A SECOND ONE

"oh, its only in stock if you preordered".


*facepalm*


I am now enjoying my white, basic one with no gay overpriced accessories I don't need.

Toys R Us deal was awesome today.  Luckily got there just in time to snag the last 2 Marios (one for me and one for my niece and nephew xmas present).  I was surprised to see they had one white basic model left more than 2 hours after opening.  It seems the deluxe went super quick and the basic sales lagged.  This makes sense, because the basic system deal is a rip off.

Now the bad news, servers must be on overload because the mandatory system update is taking an hour to download, which is ridiculous.

The white one isn't a ripoff.

You get a white console.  That's immediately better than the stupid black one.


Nintendo consoles look retarded in black.

Sure you don't get a gay Nintendo Land game, or the DLC discount thing, or the dumb accessories you don't need, but hey you saved 50$ and get a white console.

Win in my book.


Also, yeah f*ck that update. 


I am impressed with the thing overall.

Sounds kind of like the 20gb PS3 Launch model... if you were already spending $500, what's another $100 to upgrade to the 60gb.  Maybe the basic model will be ZOMG UBER R@RE L@@K someday...

The basic one simply looks nicer to me.  Nintendo is super white power.

I've been playing Mario.  It's extremely nice.

Yeah, got a black one w/ Mario- found it @ Target. I really like the controller- you can play Mario and watch the Lions lose at the same time. And it's extremely responsive- better than the image on my tv.
Take off yer flip flops and set up the tripod: it's bag kickin' time!
