no no no!!! take that back before he realises u said this!! this is genuine, this guy knew that u have to pay a £20 deposit when u pre order a wii u, which means he must be legit cos i can confirm that you need to pay that when you pre order at GAME. and the guy on the youtube vid said something quite different

dude it really isn't the same story, its totally different. this guy said his local GAME store's manager told him the wii u will be priced at 200 pounds. jodecidion from the article said he is friends with his gamestops manager and he told him that Gamestop is teaming up with nintendo to air the september 13th conference live at all gamestops. its totally different, im not saying this story is definitely true just that its not a copy of that one

KEWL. This is the most reliable source about the Wii U's price. Thanks!

If this is sarcasm, I have to give you a standing-O.

I don't know if I believe this rumor. The price seems believable though.

Your grammar is terrible, you need to turn off your caps lock for good. And you need to watch your language because their are some younger people here who might be offended by it. And your wrong because
It's in pounds not dollars, the guy on YouTube said dollars. A lot of people are hearing things from stores, my GameStop told me $299 but I just ignored it because GameStop is stupid. Please be more respectful with your posts :)

It's you're. You also can't start a sentence with a conjunction. You used the wrong form of "there" when you said "their are some younger people".

Sure I made a few mistakes, but go look at the post I was commenting on. I don't want to start a fight, but his post was something straight out of a YouTube comment section. It makes this sight look bad, and the people on it too. So if you want that image, fine.

When did we start talking about computer specs. I saw the video just now and I agree he lied. However you can't guarantee PowerPC or power7, because nothing has been announced spec wise. And unless you are a developer with Dev kits please excuse me if I don't listen to you on that. I believe it has a better chance of being power 7 because IBM stated it was a costom computer based off of power architecture used in Watson which is power 7. What is your proof of powerPC???

Let me rephrase that for you, so that a good tone is kept in the forums: "I believe your story is untrue, I think you just copied it from this video I saw recently, with a person claiming to have had the same experience: [link]".

All right?

I went into a big chain GAME store ;) to put down my holding deposit and was chatting to the manager as he took my £20 i thought id ask straight out how much it would be, (even though im aware we gotta wait till september) and to my surprise (expecting him to say "i dont know ") he just said " ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE POUNDS" straight out ! I asked how he new he said they were told!!!! I suppose they mite no as if there takin money from us for deposits they must get asked a hell of a lot, and it only takes one nintendo rep who knows to much and talks alot to let slip there target price!



2 things wrong with this story...

first off its probably Walmart... and we all know what kind of people work at walmart, this so called "Manager" probably had a diaper full of crap and drool down his face

2nd, this guy is british... and as we all know Brits cant be trusted

A big chain store? What are we, math problems? Was it GameStop? EBGames?ToysRUS?Walmart?Kmart?

Another thing.

I don't believe in rumors. It's against my religion to believe absurd garbage (no offense). I mean it isn't your fault these things go around, but I do have to say that it's mighty interesting that the manager at " a big chain store" told you the value of the Wii U.(not being sarcastic btw)

I say lets wait for the impending release of the Wii U together!

and that includes you too Auzzie!

and your Brittish friends >_>

I still find it weird that retailers can put up pre-orders for something they can't put a price tag to.

Like what if you paid in full, only to realise that it's cheaper. I assume they'd give you the money back, but.....
