Where's my US of A version of this sale?!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I can't even see an add to basket button =/

 

[Amentallica]

Fucking hell. Why isn't this available in the USA?

 

[NeonDelta]

Once I logged in it said out of stock, wasn't gonna buy one anyway

 

[toythatkills]

I can't even see an add to basket button =/

It's sold out.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

It's sold out.

 

[Haunted]

Boom it's gone


If Nintendo were serious about this generation in the long term, they'd put this as the new regular price and eat a couple hundred millions in losses for the short term. Just get that thing out there!

 

[Amentallica]

...Okay? Lol Are you reassuring yourself because you missed out on the sale? I don't get it.

 

[score01]

£&&&!

I just missed out. Soon my pretties, soon...

 

[Madouu]

Don't think we got anymore basic models still in the channels in NA.

Didn't work for gamecube, won't work for Wii U

 

[Markitron]

Thats what it says when you click the ? over delivery

Thanks, was on my phone and couldn't see that. Looks like I'm outta luck, despite living about 20 mins from the border.

 

[Mesoian]

Probably February. I got my WiiU from overstock.com for 170, which is a similar deal.

And of course, there's always the 200 dollar refurbs from Nintendo.

 

[inner-G]

Sensational price to be honest. Worth it for Wind Waker HD alone.

Spoiler

And the White console is superior to the black system - in terms of looks.

Until your gamepad sticks discolor

 

[Mesoian]

Didn't work for gamecube, won't work for Wii U

Yup, and it's super not worth it now since there's software worth owning.

 

[Stereogatari]

I am actually shellshocked at missing out on this. I've been wrapping my brain about getting a WiiU for weeks, I was literally on Tesco 2 hours ago, but I missed it by a whisker ((.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I've been considering getting a wii-u but I think I'll hold off until I've finished more of my backlog

 

[gigantor21]

Well that's the first time I ever heard anyone say something costs a ton, and mean cheap. XD

Same here, LOL. UK slang is awesome.

OT: Holy shit, what a deal. I'd have a VERY hard time turning that down if they did that in the States.

 

[ah_hia]

Bah. Sold out.
Nearly bought another one for the family

 

[Stereogatari]

I suppose this is the logical way to get over it. Plus the Order and Bloodborne are coming up.

 

[near]

Crap! Just called my local Tesco and they don't have it in stock, was literally about to walk out my house to go pick it up, thankfully I made the call. Arghhhh Nintendo!!

 

[Eolz]

Once I logged in it said out of stock, wasn't gonna buy one anyway

"It's not like I wanted a WiiU or anything, b-baka!"

You're joking right? As said before, didn't work for the gamecube, and they prefer riding it out with small profits rather than losing money again.

 

[Stereogatari]

Would they match the online price?

 

[Davey Cakes]

For the equivalent of $150, the Wii U provides a lot of quality entertainment.

Congrats to those who are able to nab it at that price.

 

[Exile20]

Nah I'll get it when it's 59,99 and comes bundled with 8 gamepads.

Yup u need there 8 gamepads for Smash.

 

[near]

Would they match the online price?

Yeah, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone said if I reserve it online they'd match the price in-store provided I had a reservation number.

 

[Symphonia]

Sold out.

 

[Stereogatari]

Oh wow that's useful to know.

 

[Seanspeed]

Damn. That was my magic price for the system, but all gone. Figures.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Not good enough. Needs to be $50 with 7 games bundled.

Spoiler

/s

 

[Hot Coldman]

Holy shit please come back holy price of the gods

 

[Stereogatari]

Holy shit please come back holy price of the gods

Welp it won't be from Tesco. They've delisted the White WiiU from their site completely.

 

[Bricky]

Even the Wii U sells out for that price, would be pretty sad if stock for a deal this insane lasted longer than a day (or even a few hours).

 

[vortz]

Gamecube era all over again.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Welp it won't be from Tesco. They've delisted the White WiiU from their site completely.

ah well, I'd rather a black one anyway

Yep, that's what I concluded recently then Tesco had to go ahead and do this and confuse me.

I wouldn't mind the Black for £150. But after seeing this deal slip by I'm not so sure.

 

[near]

Oh wow that's useful to know.

Other retails do this as well, but didn't know Tesco did this too so it's I'll be taking advantage of this next time a good deal pops up.

 

[Mocca-Bear]

Reminds me of the €99,- Gamecube push, interested to see if we're going to reach that official sales point in the near future.

 

[spekkeh]

Nah I'll get it when it's 59,99 and comes bundled with 8 gamepads.

 

[Ricky 7]

I was gonna buy another one at that price.

 

[Übermatik]

Holy shit that's cheap... tempting.

 

[VegiHam]

Oh man. The one time I'm in class late a fantastic deal comes and goes. This sucks.

 

[Volotaire]

Great deal!

 

[nOoblet16]

And I bought a Wii U earlier this month :/

 

[SirRyanOfSmeg]

Noooo I missed it

 

[Starwolf_UK]

It is not a deal until someone has it in their cold bloody hands. I was burned several months ago by John Lewis who claimed to have 1000 Basic Wii U w/ NSMBU for £115. Order canceled as they blamed a supplier and John Lewis wouldn't give me any compensation* for the pending charge they issued (heres a fucking idea, don't make a pending charge until you've checked the item actually exists). A similar price point makes me wonder if it is the same shoddy supplier.

*-In-store I got NSMBU for £10 so thats okay.

Spoiler

I ended getting a used NSMBU Premium bundle a week later and sold NSMBU for £14 so maybe it worked out for the better?

Where's my US of A version of this sale?!

I'd much rather have $200 "refurbished" premium consoles on tap from NOA than wild goose chases/hope you were glued to your PC 24/7 for the 50 minute deal.

 

[Newline]

Sad that I missed it. £99 is a price that i'd bite at, the current library makes it worth it even if it completely tanks tomorrow.

 

[funkypie]

Same here, LOL. UK slang is awesome.

OT: Holy shit, what a deal. I'd have a VERY hard time turning that down if they did that in the States.

Ton = regarding weight. Not as a ton of ' mike had a ton of bullets to spare'.

 

[MCN]

Fucksake, just when I need to pay for work to be done on my car.

 

[jimi_dini]

Nah I'll get it when it's 59,99 and comes bundled with 8 gamepads.

You forgot to mention the free blowjob.
