Shit product confirmed.
What's wrong with giving this tip? The update is there, not much Nintendo can do now. Some people jump on anything.
This just reminded me that my ps3 under the tree is definitely going to need some updates before I use it Christmas Day... Crap
How is it embarrassing?It's an embarrassing admission for a device that launched weeks ago, not months ago but still sound advice given the situation.

Buying this brand new 2013 Ford Focus for your kid, eh?
Might wanna take it by the shop for a good tune up before you give it to her. Just in case.
Ugh, these non-replies are so stupid. Grow up./thread

Worst end thread ever.
is it easy to repackage? Once I pull shit out IT never goes back right. The kids will know, they will know.
Best Buy? Target? Pretty much anywhere? They don't accept electronics returns once they've been opened. If there's a defect, you contact the manufacturer (ie Nintendo)
If it involves Nintendo then, yeah, it's gonna be pretty awful.

It's hilarious but I did the same the thing for a friend. Bought him GT5 and couldn't let him go through that install being excited and all.

I fail to see what's so wrong about this, its good advice, specially if you're gifting to someone who isnt tech-savy/doesnt have a constant internet connection
Well, even if it was a reasonable process it's good advice, but there really is no excuse for it taking an hour+ to pull down and install a 1GB file.
Have heard plenty of horror stories from people trying to download full games, as well. Sounds worse than early PS3 fare, and in an era where I get slightly cranky while Steam downloads at 4 megs a second it's a good thing I stick to discs only for consoles.
I'm guessing this is a tip to parents. You know, like assembling a bike instead of giving the kids a box.
How is it embarrassing?
It's not.How is it embarrassing?
So you broke into his house and secretly updated his PS3? Or did you magically put the update on the actual disc? Both options are funny.
It's good advice, I'm not sure what the "internet spin" here is going for?
Thats what I was thinking. Its good advice if you want to makes sure you recipient can game right away Xmas morning. This forum has been foaming at the mouth for any reason to hate on teh Wiiu since launch. Makes no sense really, its a great little device. I think most of them should take teh time to actually play with a WiiU before hating it so blindly.
Its so funny how everyone acts like the Xbox360/PS3 launched with all the features and services they have in place now. I shouldn't have to remind you, but there was no game invites on PS3 for the first year and a half. Trophies came equally late. Netflix/Hulu came to Xbox years after launch. And both had you download OS updates just about anytime you bought one. Helli my Xbox Slim i got 3 months ago did not come with the latest OS updates. The Wii U has been out for 1 month... give it a break.
It's this, I think you guys are overreacting.

Haha that's actually a fantastic adviceGahiggidy Tip: Make an Mii of the person you are giving it to ahead of time (or transfer it from an old Wii/3DS). That way the first time they boot up the machine they will see themselves in the center of Wara Wara plaza with hundreds of other Miis running past to the those game and app tiles.
This is gaf.
Nintendo of America is offering some very practical advice on Twitter this holiday season. It's also possibly the most telling sign we've seen of Nintendo's epic Wii U launch failure.

Because Wii U isn't all that old, and a consumer probably would expect the ones on store shelves to be of the latest firmware given this is such a young device. Nintendo has said that isn't going to be the case for a while.
Manufacturing #WiiU? Pro-tip: Perform system updates before shipping so it's good to go as soon as it's opened!
