Mega Bomba: Wii U Deluxe Nintendoland bundle $191.77 at Sam's Club
- Thread starter Tripon
- Start date
As an employee of Sam's Club I'll give you guys an inside track on this.
That Wii U bundle is an cancelled item at whatever club that pull tag was taken from. You can tell that by the "C" right beside the item number 595158. It's likely they have only one or two left in stock and the sales underperformed so bad the club decided to slash the price and get it out of there to clear up space.
As far as I know, other clubs likely won't match this price because while one item at one club is cancelled it might be active at another. So please don't go into your local Sam's Club and expect to walk out with a Wii U because (in my experience as a Member Service Supervisor) 9 times out of 10 they will not price match, even if its another Sam's Club. And yes, its bullshit, I know.
Call ahead first and see if your local Sam's Club has cancelled the item as well and save yourself the headache. The club I'm employed at doesn't even carry that bundle and cancelled the Wii U months ago.

Thankfully for you guys, Sam's Club is having an Open House December 6-8. No need to have a membership to use their stores on those days.
'That makes it around $210, phew we don't have to make good on our we'd bite at $200 promises'!
wow so i can just go in their store and buy a Wii U for 191.77? is it in all sam's club stores? Nearest store is in Concord, CA
Oh some of you don't have an excuse now. That is damn good price.
Its looking like it's YMMV.
YMMV? Sorry but whats the full form?
Your mileage may vary.

Ultra bomba. Even I would buy the thing and keep it in a box for that price. When the game I want comes out, then I'd open it.

I bought my Deluxe Wii U brand new for $247 (including tax) in April, so I'd say that I'm still OK with having only spent ~$38 more (including the tax I'd be charged at Sam's) to get my Wii U 8 months before this deal.

I don't have anymore inputs lol.
I will have to either remove my 360 or my ps3.
Get an AVR or a new TV.

I bought my Wii Deluxe last month for 480 bucks(lol Mexico), no regrets, even if I need money to buy more games.
190 is nothing if you're into Nintendo games, and if you want Bayonetta 2 then you should check out W101.

B-b-but Miiverse art... Hold me.
Seriously, I've had a blast this year with my now-ludicrously expensive launch Wii U. I caught up with Wii games with the benefit of HDMI, VC is awesome, and streaming movies, TV and internet to the Gamepad while in bed has been fantastic.
Oh, and those Wii U games were nice too, of course.
If you can get all that for this price, it's one of the best value purchases you'll ever make.

Did they pull that sign out of the trash bin?
Yeah seriously no regrets here at all I have Mario 3D under the tree for the kids and they were too young for the wii so they have and entire library to catch up on also its our number one Netflix machine and looks great next to my PS4.

If I had the cash I would be heading down there ASAP....damnit ;-;
Any store that doesn't require a membership or special conditions to enter, so Costco/Sam's Club are out as well as the NEX/AAFES
You regret buying a Wii U or buying it 2nd hand for more than this deal?
Walmart and Best Buy always match ads if you have the physical ad with you. It being from the Navy Exchange might make that difficult though as I'm not sure how they handle something like that (Navy Exchange versus big box store ads).

Same here but we're owners of a new console at least
Like... your store doesn't carry the console at all?

It's snowing here, FYI. Still, I called the two nearest Sam's Clubs. One told me that they hadn't had Wii U's since their launch day batch, they never got another shipment, and the other had me wait on hold for quite a while (but hey, clerks can be busy), to confirm a $299 price point.
I did confirm it's an Open House this weekend, so call around, someone here (other than OP) might actually get lucky.
One of the stores I called said the exact same thing, so it's likely.

Pardon the ignorance (I am not versed on this), but couldn't they deny checking you out still since you're not checking out booze? That, or just check out the booze if you brought booze and the console to the counter?
Awesome, will probably go by the the local one tonight and see if they have any for that price.

When I got o Costco, I need a card to do a checkout. There might be rules in place regarding other items outside alcohol when you try and checkout.
This sucks, I would totally jump on this if it was more widespread (Oregon, no Sams Club) and I hadn't already spent a truckload of money on presents (for myself and others).
