Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

Maybe it will be a Friday delivery as street date will be broken if they come tomorrow

[teddymeow]

Yeah they have balsed up big time on that ... so there is no real way to know what is going on! ... Maybe Nintendo secretly run Shopto ... It would explain a lot!

Thing is, if its shipped tonight, you won't be able to track it until it reaches the TNT / DPD depot which won't be until at least tonight. It may even be early tomorrow morning when its on a truck and waiting for delivery.

To be honest if i dont get it tomorrow its not the end of the world, if the online service/update is not live until Friday then im happy to wait

Anyone walking into a shop and buying thiers like the olden days?

Yup. Even pondering on collecting at midnight. Never attended a midnight launch in my life but it's tempting in order to beat the bustle come Friday daytime.

The stock arrived today, the painful wait starts.

i am , always get my hardware on launch from HMV. Got a call today to say i definitely have a premium pack, and they are opening at 8.30am. Got a lot of games coming from online retailers too. Tekken from the hut will probably turn up in 2 weeks time tho..

Would definitely have bought it in store if I wasn't so scared of not getting one on friday. It's not quite the same to pick up a brown cardboard box at the post office.

Well, there's a turn up for the books. My Amazon delivery has dispatched and is guaranteed to arrive tomorrow. Only fly in the ointment is I am now off work ill and the parcel is going to my wife's work and is out the country. Could be a sneaky cab ride.

When did you order yours? Mine's still 'preparing to dispatch'...

Anyone going for the midnight launch? My local GAME is less than 10 minutes away, might have a casual stroll down if I'm still awake!

Second week of October.

[BIG EDD]

No my tracking number does not work. Another reason why I don't think it's been sent yet.

mine wasn't working until I selected TNT express and it's saying 28/11/12 07:22:32 LLANTRISANT PLEASE CALL
LLANTRISANT is my local depot so ill ring them in the morning and find out what's going on???

Fair enough, so you got an email half an hour ago?

[Kieran76]

Email came at 8.50pm. It is being delivered by DPD.

[ETC]

Is the ZombiU pack much more expensive in store at say, game, than it is from the online places? (too lazy to look.......)

I think its ?349.99 in Game.

It is ?349.99.

If you haven't preordered in store, and unless there's been a cancellation of an existing deposit, don't expect to walk in and buy one. Stock is rather tight for bricks and mortar it seems.
