I am looking for opinions, do you guys think the white Wii U is worth the buy? Is there any real difference besides the memory? I had a deluxe one pre-ordered and backed out a week before it came out because I thought I didn't want it anymore, but now I do again, really bad. I know I'd regret not having one when the new Zelda and Marios come out. I'd rather save as much money as I can though, so is the white one fine, or do you think the black one is better. Put memory aside, I want to buy a TB harddrive anyway.

well, the black one is the only way I would go, but If you want it for these games coming out I would like to point out that Ocarina of Time 3D released in a bundle with a special zelda 3DS. I know they don't do this as often with home consoles, but I suggest you wait and see if they maybe release a special edition console. Nintendo usually waits a while before announcing special bundles consoles and Windwaker HD seems like a pretty good place for them to announce one (especially if they need a way to boost sales)

if u use online services, white is a better choice in my opinion, because YOU WILL buy an hdd after all. The 32 gigs save u just a little time, except if u DONT use internet at all, so its more than enough. Also the fingerprints are less visible that the black one.

That is my personal opinion, read others to.

you get 32 gigs with the black on, not sure if you still get ninty land. which is just a temperary spot filler game.

with both you will need a SD card or flashdrive for extensive online downloads(many games) 8 gig works if you dont get DLC or anything similar. you are left with about 3 gigs-5 gigs after the update on 8gig wiiU.

They are also coming out with a ZombiU Deluxe set. Read that it comes out Feb 17th.

The Wii U ZombiU Deluxe Set comes with all the contents of the standard Wii U Deluxe Set, plus the addition of the ZombiU game, a black Wii U Pro Controller and a collectible booklet featuring artwork from the game and never-before-seen developer commentary. Nintendo Land will also be included as a downloadable game, rather than a packed-in disc. The jam-packed ZombiU Deluxe Set will be available at a suggested retail price of $389.99, a savings of $70 if all items were purchased separately.

I have the White, it was worth it.

[YoshiGamer9]

Deluxe set comes with three stands.

deluxe digital promotion.

Nintendo land.

32 GB.

Oh, and it's in black.

[Guy Fieri]

Depends, if you want Nintendo Land with the console, you should already get the Deluxe console. Since you're saving $10 off the price of Nintendo Land. If you plan to download a ton of games, the Deluxe is the way to go ( but you will buy an HDD sooner or later). Not to mention you'll be rewarded for eShop purchases for the Deluxe. So it depends, the regular console is worth it if you're not interested in Nintendo Land or downloading much. If you want Nintendo Land and/or plan on downloading games, the Deluxe is the way to go.

And it also comes with stands

[Scumbag]

Yes the white Wii U is worth it, I have one.

I made the decision to buy white as I was buying a 500GB hard drive with it. I think the white is sexier, the console and gamepad get NO fingerpriints or smears like the black does.

It's up to you, if you were buying Nintendoland anyway then black might suit you.

Since you said you are getting a TB harddrive anyway, I assume you'll be getting lots of digital content. With the Deluxe version you get the digital promotion which basically reimburses 10% of your digital spendings for the next two years. Add in Nintendoland, the two extra gamepad stands, and the increased internal storage space, and I think it's worth the extra $50. Even if you aren't interested in Nintendoland, you could trade it in or sell it and recover some of that difference.

the black part is more phycologicaly appealing =/

[Alex Wolfers]

The deluxe set is a better buy. The only reason I have a basic is because Game$top screwed me over on my preorder.

[Foot]

Well, I got the black version because the White GamePad can get dirty very easy. I saw a video from E3 last year and it showed the GamePad and the thumb sticks were COMPLETELY YELLOW. If they made a bundle with a white console and a black GamePad, I would have bought that in a heartbeat

[A W Reezy]

Financially speaking.. No. The deluxe set provides you with the system and Nintendoland. Both of those separately would run you over $349.99 which is what the deluxe set costs. Not to mention the extra stands, Gamepad charger, etc...

[alan123]

no the white is not worth buying.

[cannonshane]

I wouldn't bother with the white one, Better value buying the deluxe. But at the end of the day its still a wii U.

[Dough]

no

[syks-1]

Get the black one

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

I don't think so, plus I like my consoles and tech black it just looks smarter, could be good if your on a budget though.
