I just paid for it in full online at gamestop's website. Am I guaranteed one at launch?

Just pre-ordered mine. The Premium Edition for $428 AUS Dollars.

Still thinking about the games though, I'll probably pre-order them tomorrow.

Also, what should I expect when going to pre-order and pick up a console? This is my first time attempting a purchase at launch. >_> Also I have 200 USD saved up already.

Well I don't think I am going to preorder it as I have school and other expenses to pay off. Although gamestop did send me an email about preordering, though if I were to pick one up I would also consider best buy. Who knows I might just be able to pull it off.

I'll be pre-ordering mine and at least Rayman Legends tomorrow, probably. $160 down should be enough, yes?

I'll take that back, the prices I'm seeing online are the prices I actually expected for UK so I am pre-ordering if my independant shop doesn't get it early.

Since GS is already talking about a limited amount of Premium bundles, I had to jump on it now. They said they may have to cut off Premium pre-orders within a few days. I work in another town, so I'll have a thirty minute drive on the 18th.

Anyway, I'm all pre-ordered up with NSMBU and Zombie U.

Will there be a midnight release?

I pre-ordered the premium bundle at my local Game Stop after school let out. I tried to pre-order Darksiders II with it, but the guy said he couldn't find it in their system. The only D game he could find was Disney's Epic Mickey 2. He said it might have something to do with how it's already out on other systems. Went with pre-ordering NSMBU instead.

As much as I don't care for Gamestop...my other local place isn't doing pre-orders yet..so I decided not to do the "sorry I waited" game and pre-ordered

I'd love to yell people that pre-ordering is safe ..but it's not..when the Wii launched my local Gamestops had to give out pre-orders in 3 or 4 loads..so some pre-orders weren't filled till almost 6 months after launch.

I believe it will ship to you after the 18th.

I will be first to GS to get my Wii U on the 18th.

I preordered the premium version. Thank you SOOOOO much dUstin I would not have gotten the black premium without this important info!

I preordered Scribblenauts Unlimited, and am hoping to get nsmbU and pikmin 3 for christmas. I don't have enough money for paper mario: sticker star so I'll be asking for that for christmas too.

I was number 9 on the preorder list for a black wii u. No white wii u's had been preordered yesterday at 4:45. I called today and they are no longer taking preorders for black systems.
