Well I saw on the game shop (gamestop?) that they were making a sale:

Wii u basic pack (includes 1 wii remote, wii party u and nintendo land)

€229,99 + Sonic Lost World €14,99

 

I have €375 to spend so should I choose this:

Wii U basic pack 8GB  €229,99  + Sonic Lost World  (in sale if I buy that) €14,99 + External Hard Drive 1TB € 69,99 + Game €59,99 
which gives a total of €375, aproximately
(but i fear that the HDD breaks up or that it's not compatible so this is a big disadvantage)

or this:

Wii U Deluxe pack 32GB €299,99 + Game €59,99

total= €360 )saving useless €15)

I personaly prefer the black rather than the white...

So what should I buy? (I'm so nervous because choosing the white one can make me lose €69,99 due to malfunction with the console and keep a 8GB Wii U, and choosing the black one that has 32GB and just get one game)

Just go with the deluxe (black) , you will most likely add an external harddrive anyways but at least you could hold off on that for a bit. There is quite a bit of nice DLC out there for Mario Kart 8, Hyrule and if you plan on spending some dough in the eshop/digital games.

I'd get the Deluxe and save for more gear (games, etc).

Don't bother with the deluxe, DPP is ending this month, if you want black, get a can of paint.
If you want a sensor bar, get one from china.
If you want a gamepad stand, get one for like 5 bucks, or use a book.

It literally has nothing going for it unless you like black consoles.
32gb is nothing, same as 8gb.

If the hard drive doesn't work, you can bring it back, just don't go ape rainbow and tear the packaging to shreds.

I'd get the regular version + external hdd + Mario Kart 8

[YoshiGamer9]

Buy all three, sell whatever you don't need on eBay for regular retail price once the sale is over XD

What if someone doesn't want to buy a hard drive and likes the colour black?

 

The white Wii U and gamepad always looked ugly in my opinion...

Once you go black you never go back. Get that sexy black deluxe baby.  32 GB's, oh yeah that's a nice rooty tooty flash you have there. That big blue L E D shining out of that Piano black. Oh yeah.

then they don't download any games, since 32 = 25 and possibly less now with the updates taking up storage space on the wii u.

That's me I only use it for physical copies of games anyway.

You spent extra money for just a colour?

I got it at launch, and it was a good deal at the time because it also included Nintendo land.

Yeah, it was a great deal 2 years ago.

Especially if you bought a few digital games.

I never bought one, lol.

Wasted opportunity.
A lot of great games on the eShop, and 10% back.

I would get the premium pack (I am sure you can find a good bundle with an extra game or two, and then save up for a external drive, just make sure the drive is compatible with the Wii U, I tried to use my old iomega and it did not work

 

I would recommend this one, it is only £63 for 2TB which I think is a steal (I currently own one) http://www.ebuyer.co...ive-stbv2000200
