I remember waiting on line for hours before the midnight release of the Wii. Definitely not doing it for the Wii U

Black one is already going for 500$ on ebay WITH bids!

Was out of stock at Walmart, but they now have the bundle available again (black and white versions).

Listed to ship on the 18th of Nov. I am sure Walmart will get a huge stock of these, it's only the largest retailer in the world.

Wal-Mart's site apparently makes you get a game and another controller with it. Kinda crappy if you don't want to.

You're going to buy it regardless. Maybe not the controller.

Not necessarily. I'm only getting the Black bundle that comes with NintendoLand. I don't plan on picking up another game on day one. Who are they to make you have to get a game AND a controller?

It increases the number of items they sell, so it's a good business strategy. With demand for preorders being so high people will pay for these bundles because it may be the only way to get the console. You can buy it or pass.

Looks like I'll be waiting until at least the 2013 lineup to look into picking one of these up. None of those 2012 titles seem interesting enough to warrant a new system, IMO.

I did pass. And got it from a place that doesn't make me buy things I don't want.

They can do whatever they want. They are walmart and will sell them to the next person.

EB Games when PS2 came out made people by 2 accessories and 2 games. Customers were pissed but we sold out of them all the time.

Pretty much goes with any new console launch. They know someone is going to buy it no matter what crap they throw in a bundle. I'm still uncertain on how much I really want this system....will just stick with my original instinct and wait until the first of the year.

Walmart's bundle is good though, you pick a game and a controller. The Wii U pro controller is essential if you want to play two player games, and for most NintendoLand is not enough so another game will be bought.

So, for the majority, I think the Walmart bundle is a logical option.

I thought I wanted to wait because I thought Zombie U came out in 2013. It's a launch game and me wants.

Exactly, you almost really do need everything anyways.

I'll be running to the closest electronics store to get one the same day a new Zelda gets announced.

At this time, Walmart is offering only the Basic system in a bundle and not the Deluxe.

Black= gonna be hard to find.

They sold out of the deluxe(black) model then, they were offering it before.
