I want a white console, but apparently if you get the white you must get the 8gb memory WTF? And if you want the black you MUST buy the $350 32gb memory? --- End quote --- the issue is more the stands, charger and the pack in game. The drive space is expanded via SD cards, usb keys and external usb harddrives (according to nintendo). So get what you want and then buy yourself a 32gb usb key. --- End quote --- beat me to it, yeah external storage, then in six months "buy the NEW Wii U, now with 10x more storage!!!" |

A black Wii U would be a Nice addition but I'll probably wait after released for a trim down black version with 8gb instead of 32gb.. Also black friday is around the corner after released, I'm sure that the stores will have some kind of sale. If it's not sold out by then. |

I actually kind of thought this would be the case so I wasnt too surprised by it. As previously stated Microsoft has done this before so its not out of the realm of thought for nintendo to do something similar. If nintendo had made both packages available in both colors that woukd have been 4 different skus at once. That would have been extremely frustrating coming from the retailer's perspective. I highly doubt anyone will have any sort of discount on the WiiU for black friday. Launch consoles sell themselves around the holiday so there will be no reason for a retailer to slash the prices of something that is only a week old and is likely sold out. I'm sure they'll advertise that some will be in stock but it'll be the same pricepoint and packaging. |

My guess is guaranteed 10 in stock per store ads. (thats if its a sell out like last time.... im not so sure this time.) |

Triple agree on no sale prices. Do expect to be forced to buy package "deals" though. That was the case with the PS3 and Wii at many retail chains. Retailers make zero dollars on consoles (and if you figure in their overhead and labor, they actually loose money on eah console sale), so the only way they can make that up is with game and accessory sales. |
