Wii U Belgium bomba - Premium 99
- Thread starter Wolfgang Jr
- Start date
Publicity + hoping people will buy other stuff when they're there since the stock is so low anyway
To get people into the store.
After watching the video, I'm glad I missed it.

The black Nintendo Land bundle got replaced by the NSMBU + Luigi bundle, Wind Waker Bundle & Skylanders Bundle.
Maybe they want to get rid of the rest.

Its crazy how Dutch people are willing to cross the border and come and snatch deals in Belgium. A month ago we had a new MM opening, the store had ~270 ps4's but didn't take pre-orders so you had to stand in line until opening the next morning. They even managed to find that one out, not sure how this news spread over there. Luckily most in line were local people and people hearing it from social media(i.e. Dutch) returned emtpy-handed.

I loved the Wii a lot.
Nice minimal approach, miis, motion controls, pointer controls for shooters, a zelda and Excite Truck on launch. Lots of quirky games later on.
I somehow thought, the Wii U would be the same, although i hated the name and concept from the day they revealed it on that E3 all that years ago. Should have gone with my guts feeling.
I like my Wii U, but it's nothing special (yet)..
Hope they will improve..

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Thanks for this report!

Now add something like
"You mean I can't play Super Mario 3D World?"
"FUCK"

Thanks
. It's not that bad though. It's just a parttime job but they want me to work more and I simply can't combine that with being an university student. Maybe I should apply for a job at the local MediaMarkt
Man, seven WiiU games! NOE must be popping the champagne right about now!
Thanks

I worked at MediaMarkt for 3+ years.
Don't.
So the guy made an alt and bid €400? Or someone who saw all of this and tried to 'troll him'.
Aint nobody paying €400 for something that you can buy for much less at other shops
Unless someone was confusing it with the hype around the PS4 lol.

It was me lawl
yeah remind of the the hp touchpad being discounted to $99 and everyone scrambling to buy one at that price.
such evil
Sounded like 40 to me actually.
What a mess lol.
Nintendo doomed! A shop sold 30 systems at a discount in a stunt gone bad. Fire Iwata now!
And people look at me weird when I say Belgium is a shitty country, especially as a gamer.lol that ps3 guy, wiiUmad?
Funny random fact.
When I went to buy a spare PS3 last week in MM in Oostakker, I actually put 2 systems that were on top back on the pile and grabbed the 3rd one down because the boxed were dented somewhat. Wonder if this one was added back to the stack after the social outcasts left the store.
I like how the people hold the Wii U boxes with both hands really tight. The PS3 box didn't get that much love though

I am confused, why are they buying PS3s? I thought the WiiU was on sale.
I don't think they meant that in the same way that you're thinking. "X be damned" is just an expression, it's similar to saying "regardless of the X".
What a child.
There were presumably a bunch of PS3s where the WiiUs were, and that man was obviously displaying his frustration at missing out on getting a WiiU. Again, what a child.
Indeed, MM is being stupid again (just like in Germany) and all the Wii U's were mixed with PS3 and Xbox360's in a basket...;
Let's say there were 50 Wii U available and they were sold in half a minute (the time people needed to rush into the store and grab one).
That's 100 consoles per minute, 6k per hour, 144k per day and 4.3 million per month. In just one shop. Fastest selling console ever. Take that, Major Nelson!

Sales up 468%!

Belgium actually isn't that bad as a gamer. Things like this are exceptions tbh.
Remember when Carrefour sold the white Wii U for €150 for days? It was easy to get one, partially because it was being sold in a load of carrefours... not just a single store.
Mediamarkt are just bastards. They knew this would happen, they knew people would go mad. They even made sure the consoles were lying UNDER a pile of PS3s and Xbox 360s.
They could have made some system where people get a ticket in the line or something... I don't know... but NO... they wanted people to run around like monkeys... just like the PS4 release...

That might be true, but Resi 4 showed up in, what, year 3 or 4 of the Gamecube? Give the Wii U a chance before asking it to match the very best of the 'Cube.

Now I'm curious. What's wrong with working at MediaMarkt?
The only reason I can think about is getting serious diseases from all the radiation and electro smog coming off all these TV's, Computers, Laptops etc etc...
You weren't one of the people that got fired for using the security cameras to stalk cladly dressed women during summertime, wanking off in the surveillance room and saving the clips to SD cards, were you?

Did you make this up or did this actually happen? I mean people getting fired at mediamarkt for such a thing.
You mean a one year old system has a worse library than a full cycle machine?
