Anyone that is going to Pre-Order the Deluxe / Premium Edition of the Wii U HAS TO pre-order it before days end

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/09/14/gamestop-to-have-limited-amounts-of-wii-u-premium-consoles/

Yes, this is true, when I went to put more money down today for mine, they informed me that it IS true and that TODAY will be the last day to order the Premium Editon, as Nintendo cannot stock enough for everyone. THE BASIC EDITION WILL BE THE ONLY RETAIL EDITION STARTING TOMORROW.

TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY SO HURRY!

Note: This only applies to North American GameStop Consumers.

EDIT: IF YOU TRY TO PRE-ORDER IT TOMORROW, THEY WILL REFUSE YOU.

EDIT:
According to Zonark, the Deluxe can no longer be pre-ordered, I'm assuming in store because GameStop.com still works for it, Sorry to anyone who didn't make it in time. Now that GameStop is sold out you may want to hit up Best But, WalMart (They have a $459 bundle containing EVERYTHING IN THE DELUXE EDITION, plus a free WiiMotePlus, and ANY Wii U game of your choice), etc. I'll provide speed links for those of you online shoppers below the quote.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but deluxe can no longer be preordered

GameStop.com (Can't Guarantee it'll work which is why I put it last): http://www.gamestop....luxe-set/104794

I may go after I get out this class and put $25 down on a bundle...I got one onlien, but I like playing it safe...if my GS online order ships, then I'll cancel the store one I am thinking of pre-ordering. Or I may do best-buy. All I know is during these console launches, people get screwed over, even if they were number 3 at their store out of 50 with pre-orders.

[Mignaga]

Wow this is crazy! Great to see the console selling so well.

[Dragon]

Yep. I just got word of it 10 minutes ago. My dad pre-ordered it for me. I'm in the safe zone.

[Nintendustin]

This is getting interesting. Glad I pre-ordered an hour ago. Good luck to everyone.

[Ixchel]

Wow this is crazy. Wonder if it's true of if GameStop is just trying to hype us up.

[Nintendustin]

If you ever wanted a console and couldn't find it during the holidays, you'd know how real it is.

[coolsarahkry]

oh my god, I'm trying to call gamestop to ask them if this is true, but they aren't picking up, the recording says they might be on hold! UGH pick up!

[Ixchel]

Lol honestly my mother has always been able to find a console before Xmas without a preorder, even the Wii. Never tried for a system with different bundles though. (Never got an Xbox, or a PS3 at launch)

I couldn't go yesterday, so I was going today anyway. But DAYM! I am blown away at the response!

So, basically, on launch day, the Premium edition will be for people who pre-order only. (Because of the limited stock.)

[unleashedknight]

Already ordered mine yesterday. $150 down.

I paid $35 (I also had two games).

I plan to pay $150 next week, $200 in October, and the rest at launch.

Online or store pick up?

I'm going to pay the last 200 in a paycheck or two, I have enough now, but I HATE not having any money, so I'm waiting.

Same. Anyway, I get paid monthly.

Ah, I get paid every other week. But there's no rush, still have plenty of time hah

Yeah, I got to have money for 3DS games!

[Heffir]

I have a 3DS, but I haven't played in months, nothing appeals to me... I want Animal Crossing to come out, and Pokemon.. xD

[Tricky Sonic]

Glad we pre-ordered ours 3 hours ago....this has potential to blow the Wii launch out of the water
