Wii U Belgium bomba - Premium 99

- Start date
lmao, like this post is any less sad.
Seconded. I am plugging in that pwer brick on a 220v outlet for a year.
I thought that was NZ? Australia got fucked, we never got the slick deals on the Wii U?
I saw $199 NZD Premiums in some ads, even I would've considered a Wii U at that price.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that, nah put em back on the fuckem pile. Region locks are gross shit.
derp, tuurlijk
Take pictures if you go Phazon (assuming a bunch of people will jump on this ofc)

My acquaintance in Belgium seems to be asleep, so no super cheap PAL Wii U for me.
Dick Smith in NZ first, then Dick Smith in Australia too.
They were sold out within hours nationwide. I refuse to buy in Aus until they drop the launch price, and no I don't want "free" NSMBU or Just Dance.
is the controller wider than your wingspan? seems like it would be hard to play if so
So you say it's awful yet you haven't ever touched one...

OP=OP is the new EENBOMZALDROPPENTON
Should I drive 2 hours for this?
Guess I'll just wait until the Dutch MM chains start dropping the Wii-U.

2 hours? Isn't gas really expensive in Europe?
Sure, I'll take some with my mobile phone.
Yes, it is and that would be totally not worth the ride. (because there's a high chance the stock is low and it will sell out in a minute)
I'm expecting more second hand bargain sellers (buy wii u at 99, sell it for 199) than people who really want one for themselves, so I'm curious to see how it'll turn out.
It is, but it is somewhat offset by most cars having half liter 2 cylinder engines producing 12 horsepower. At least that's the case here in France.

About 1,70 euros for 1 L in Holland but we are super rich here yo!
Plus my car drives a lot of miles to the gallon.I'm not doing it though lol.
Well maybe if they had a PS4 official DS4 charging cradle. Goddamn I would fight a granny for that shit. I can't find it ANYWHERE.
if you wait it out 4 months they'll probably start giving them as free toys in the mcdonalds kiddies meal

If MM did that deal here in the Netherlands I would buy a Wii U instantly...

I would definitely buy it at that price. Finding it for 199 Euros is really tough, never mind 99.
Figures. OP exaggerating. OP gonna OP, after all, you know what they say, OP=OP.

That's a really sweet deal, I'd definitely buy one for that price.
However I don't feel like driving to Belgium again. I have to drive to Belgium every Saturday for work. (to Lommel, which I just checked is not far from Hasselt)
I wonder if the Dutch MM will have an offer like this.

Is this in all Mediamarkts?
Yeah but wasn't our deal $299 AUD and theirs $199NZD? for the Premium units? Much much better?
It started to disappear after we posted it on our site and it took a couple of days. Even then, people weren't giving a fuck about it. So, if there's not a lot of people here today, Nintendo has a pretty big problem in Belgium when it comes to the Wii U
(I had a chat with a retailer couple of months ago in September. It doesn't sell and they decided to only stock big games like Mario etc. Pikmin and W101 were ignored)SpacePirate Ridley

Eh... You dont understand Media Markt if you think that is true. Its at that price because Media Markt is:
1. Having the day without VAT (2 or 3 days each year).
2. Having a crazy day sale, also 1 or 2 days each year. The announce them that same week on the radio a people go literally crazy at first hour to get the product they want first. The majority of products dissapear from the shelves and they restock one week later.
3. Media Markt is the cheapest place you can find videogames anywhere, on a normal release day, a game that will cost you 65 euros anywhere else can cost you there up to 15 euros less. So add something above with this and its probably done to create an interest on the wiiU. I know Media Markt here did that some weeks ago, its was at 150 euros, all the consoles dissapeared that day, and it was restocked one week later.

Whoa I had no idea, and I have a giant 220v down-converter sitting next to my TV just for the Wii U and gamepad. Why you no tell us Nintendo?

Reading the ad. It's a deal for ONE day only. With limited stock.
Only in Media markt Hasselt and only one Wii-u per customer.
To confirm: I just looked op the Wii-u on the belgian Media Markt site.
It's still 254,70 on there. Didn't see any deals either.

Aw damn I knew I should've waited Belgium is like 2 hours from here...

I think it might actually be cheaper to jump on a ferry ( I live about 20 min from Harwich) to Holland and drive to Belge to pick one up than nip into town and get one.

Screw them for picking a mediamarkt somewhere in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. I live in Antwerp goddamnit - I was going to pick it up if it required minimal effort and reached the 99 price point. Only one of those is true so I don't need no stinking Wii-U.
Cry me a river. Also, that's what you people get for calling the rest of Belgium 'parking'
Btw: I think i'll be back around 2-3pm CET, so I'll try to let you guys know how large the stock was/is.
In belgium it's a bit cheaper though then the netherlands. But 2 hour drive is also a bit to mutch for me.
Anyone else think/feel that 99€ sounds "too cheap", compared to what the machine offers? (Which should be a good sign.) I'm pretty sure the answers to this question can vary wildly depending by whether you already own the system or not.

They were 50% off RRP, so $214 and $174. Not as good as the NZ price, but still pretty good.
If nobody wants it at 200, it's probably not too cheap.
