Will wait for 150.

 

[qwerty2k]

Pre-ordered, no harm in it i guess.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

get in before;

sold out

 

[Salvadora]

I expected it to be 250 in all honesty so this would be a nice surprise.

 

[massoluk]

There's no harm in taking up this pre-order. Amazon doesn't charge pre-order, you can cancel any time, and you also get pre-order price guarantee if legit.

 

[JiliK]

Screw it, pre-ordered. Can't wait to be playing Pikmin 3 next month.

 

[walking fiend]

Yes. The UK is part of the European Union, just not the Euro zone.

thanks.

I think your conversion might be off a bit.

lol.

at 200 GBP, it'll probably launch $279 in the US

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Wii launched at £179.99 for reference.

And the GameCube was £129. Those were the days.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Just so you guys know I had preordered the vita memory card 16GB at £17.99 (before launch) and they just wrote it as a pricing error and cancelled it outright. Probs what's gonna happen to this, but I'll try my luck again XD

Edit: also notice it's for the Black WiiU but Nintendo said they were launching with white first, iirc.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Yes, I think we could have all guessed that. An additional controller price should be more interesting.

 

[Levyne]

I've taken advantage of the pre-order guarantee before..I would here too if the US site had it

 

[MadmanUK]

Want black.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

thanks.

lol.

at 200 GBP, it'll probably launch $279 in the US

Remember that the price includes VAT @20%, are US prices inclusive of taxes(also this wont actually be the price of the WiiU)?

 

[Befindlichkeit]

it's tempting but we don't even know what's in the box yet

 

[beje]

No harm in trying. It's worked for me a lot of times with games, saving as much as £10 over the final price.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

it's tempting but we don't even know what's in the box yet

A console, wires, a gamepad and a manual or two.

 

[Busaiku]

For $199 (if traditional pricing conversion applies) I'd buy it at launch.

This typically holds true for Euros and Yen, but not Pounds.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

thanks.

lol.

at 200 GBP, it'll probably launch $279 in the US

Yurop tax probably makes it $250 if legit.

 

[hatchx]

279.99 with Nintendo Land packed in would be a good deal.


If they wanted to sweeten the pot, make a 329.99 bundle that includes a 150GB harddrive and a game. White console with NSMBU or a black console with Assassins Creed 3.

 

[Rekubot]

Pre-ordered just in case Amazon decides to honour it. And I told myself I wasn't going to buy it on launch day... At least I can cancel any time.

 

[Salvadora]

I think its been confirmed to come with 8gb flash memory.

I like!

black please

 

[radioheadrule83]

Would jizz and buy one day one. Early launch would explain a lot, but I don't believe it.

 

[Thoraxes]

Means nothing if they make a mistake and got the price wrong. They've already canceled pre-orders for me saying they made a mistake.

Anyway, this seems way too low, I'll wait for Nintendo to officially announce the price.

Edit: It says it ships in four weeks lol, no doubt this is a mistake.

I've gotten all mine honored

Like that super-cheap PS3 mistake that happened.

 

[hatchx]

I think its been confirmed to come with 8gb flash memory.

8GB won't matter if I'm downloading most of my games digitally.

 

[Apoc87]

So guys, is this what the console looks like?!?!

 

[gcubed]

I've taken advantage of the pre-order guarantee before..I would here too if the US site had it

the guarantee is only good for a few dollars. They will do what they have been doing lately. "Its the wrong listing, so we cancelled all orders, please re-order on the new listing"

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Took a punt..........never have got a pre-order deal before though.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

One month? This can't be true.

 

[specialguy]

Is July 14 serious?

Also whats that in typical US pricing? 250 or 299?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Not up on USA amazon.

$250 ^^^^

 

[Busaiku]

8GB won't matter if I'm downloading most of my games digitally.

Just get a cheaper HD yourself.

 

[GQman2121]

So that's $300. At that price I'm not sold on it yet. A new 3D Mario would probably push me over the edge though.....again.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

July 14th?

LOL

 

[Samurai_Heart]

One month? This can't be true.

Of course it's now true XD

 

[radioheadrule83]

So that's $300.

£180 Wii Launch was equivalent to $250 Wii Launch.
It's probably around the same, or $279 at worst imo.

If this is remotely true or relevant.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

One month? This can't be true.

soft launch to test the shark waters

as much as I would want this, too many games need polish
give ZombiU the extra time lol

 

[toythatkills]

The date and price are both placeholders, obviously, stop asking if it's coming out in a month :lol

While they won't honour the date, they *might* honour the price, 'cause I'd expect this to be nearer shopto's estimate.

 

[timcsavage]

Oooh, a black console would be really nice but as others have said, the price seems low and the launch date seems too soon

I'm tempted to get one at launch/soon after launch if Pikmin and P-100 are in that window but I'm cautious after getting 3DS at launch (woo for free Metroid Fusion though).

 

[specialguy]

july 14=new saturn confirmed.

 

[Haunted]

How much is that in euros or dls?

250 EUR
310 USD

 

[sakipon]

One month? This can't be true.

Summer vacation officially saved. Hurrah!

 

[hatchx]

Just get a cheaper HD yourself.

This is what I'll probably do, but I think a lot of people won't have this option. Not everyone owns piles of external harddrives like I do. I fully expect Nintendo to have their own branded HDD for consumers at launch.

 

[gamergirly]

July 14? X_x

 

[deleted]

Preordered just in case. Maybe I'll cancel it later, depends on the online infrastructure Nintendo is going to announce.

 

[Baconbitz]

I find the launch date hard to believe.

 

[Rootbeer]

Hurry up amazon USA, update your listing so I can pre-order still says unavailable

I find it extremely hard to believe that it is launching in July

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this thing does have that Amazon DD service as Reggie talked about on stage at E3 so why art they not hyping that up?

 

[ToastyBanana]

Noice, preordered. Was expecting £250+ especially with the shopto price that went up first. If we're lucky we'll see supermarket price wars closer to launch too.

 

[Sanjay]

Is July 14 serious?

Also whats that in typical US pricing? 250 or 299?

The Wii was launched in the United States on November 19, 2006 at $249.99. It was later launched in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2006 at £179.

1:1 it is $310 so they could retail in US for $299.99

But if that's the UK price then US price would be $279.99 going by how they have priced stuff in the US/UK.
