Found this gem, thought i'd share

Don't think it has Nintendoland though. Still at this price I could get Nintendoland, Zombi U asd a 32GB SD card for £354.68 which is around abouts the price of the premium with just Zombi U!

£300 for the ZombiU pack in is just beautiful. Though I'm going through my independent retailer, they've confirmed that they'll be stocking it and that they're just looking for the right distribution price.

Oh wow, sweet deal.. Yesterday I ran into a lot of people who were gloomy about the prices they saw.. thinks seem to be looking better now.

I've pre-ordered it at Expansys. I went through Quidco for 3% cashback (hope that works for pre-orders) and used my Aqua credit card which is 3% cashback so I'm down to about £240 for it. It says you can cancel without penalty so I'll switch over to a better offer if it comes along. It seems the logical thing to do. I really didn't want a white one.

I've got 2 original wii's and perhaps now is the time to sell one of them.

If it looks like the wii u is going to be a big flop I will cancel and wait for a price drop later. The only other console I've ever pre-ordered was the Nintendo Gamecube and never regretted it for a second with brilliant games like Rogue Squadron and Zelda Windwaker. Lets hope its the same situation here.

So how will you know the Wii U is going to be a "big flop" before its even released?

Also, I would say its pretty clear its NOT a big flop - seeing a the top stores in the US have already run out of pre orders.

We don't know how big the allocation of stock is for pre-orders. Nintendo could have set it very low in order to make it appear the console is in huge demand but then later bring in more stock closer to launch. If the wii u has a poor launch with low numbers then its clear it will need a price drop in order to sell larger numbers but if it is geniunely in huge demand it will at the very least have a successful launch even if demand tapers off sharply in the new year. I don't know if Expansys will honour that price anyway but will see what happens. I'm just trying to get good value for myself, I certainly don't want it to flop. Huge sales means more great software is developed for it which is in everyone's interest apart from Sony and Microsoft that is.

Quidco has tracked at £6.37 (its 3% of the price before VAT is added). The credit card cashback will be £7.65. So £241 in total.

In how much time do you think zavvi will run out of premium pack?

That's hard to say and it's anyones's guess. It all depends how much preorder stock they're getting. That's said they aren't the only major retailer here in the UK and there are several others so preorders will be spread amongst them.
