I just preordered from joblots2go, it was the cheapest place i could find the premium at £285 with nintendoland.. it even says it comes with a pro controller, i emailed them to confirm it and i got a response back saying it does.. i thought that it only comes with the ZombiU pack?

here is the link to the page http://www.joblots2g...74_7819249.aspx

the site is fairly plain looking, that's not to say it could be a scam but i am always wary of plain looking sites.. i took a chance and placed an order anyway. What does everyone else think?, i registered to see what people think, and if anyone else from the UK has placed an order from there?

[WisdomPowerCourage]

It looks like its real, but I don't know the layouts a little sketchy.

[Nollog]

If you fear a website to be a scam, google them for a while.
Call any phone numbers on the page and google them too.
Look for an address, and check their terms.

These are the areas scammers usually don't bother with.

I could be real, it could just be a smaller and newer online store that isn't trying to do much in the design. This site called Gameexpress.com seems plain, but it is actually the real deal. It just happens to be a website for a local gamestore that I used to go to back in New York City.

I agree with Caius. Some local game stores have very basic looking websites but they can be the real deal. Try doing as Nollog suggested, it can't hurt. Good luck!

Good luck it looks fake but could be some random store.

Not looking good you honestly think this place will have wii u on the launch. I live in the us and there is a small mom and pop type video game store chain and they said they cant even get wii u threw there distributer cause the big chains like gamestop best buy are getting pretty much all the systems.

In the UK Its not so bad.

I also came across this website when looking for prices, it looks OK, it should be fine.

On second thought's I wouldn't be so sure

I do find it odd that they only have Wii U. Trust your gut.

Also, welcome to the forums!

I'm thinking it might be real. The Pro Controller thing could just be a mistake. It could just be a smaller business.

[GreatestGamer]

I'm thinking otherwise...

Things that make it look fake...

1. The webpage looks horrible.
2. Only Wii U products??
3. Non history on the internet (google search)

Things that make it look legit..

1. Terms and Conditions on the page.
2. It is LINKED to a ESTABLISHED EBAY seller page. http://stores.ebay.c...PRICE-BUSTERS4U - although this could still be a scam.

broseph this looks pretty iffy to me. im in the UK btw anyway dude im really really worried about the limited product range they have, i recommend you just cancel your pre order and go somewhere else, Zavvi.co.uk is usually the cheapest, if not then amazon or shopto.

[GreatestGamer]

Even cancelling the order might not work..if its fraud..all they wanted was the Credit Card number or payment information..so most likely Cancel the card and order.
But that might be over drive

[Tsuchinoko]

They have a Terms and Conditions page, but to me it still looks pretty shady. But they might not have someone good to design their site. I just would never order from a place like that, ever. You are better off just pre-ordering from an established chain like Best Buy, Gamestop places like that. Or a privately owned game store.

If you had suspicions on whether it was real or not why did you pay the pre-order then come for advice on what we think? You would think that the smart thing to do is ask opinions first and get as much information from them as possible before going through with it.

Hi, thanks.

Actually my order didn't go through anyway, for some reason i have trouble with google wallet making a payment.. so i have not given them any money, i only tried because it was the lowest price.. maybe it's worth spending a little bit more for peace of mind.

I was in a rush to order, no not the best thing to have done but the order never went through anyway.

I could order from Zavvi but the problem is the ZombiU bundle is out of stock now and i don't know where else to order from, i'd order the Nintendoland one but i can't find anywhere that confirms whether it comes with the pro controller or not. So obviously the better value deal is the ZombiU bundle at the moment.. but to get that it looks like i need to pay more.

Next cheapest from Zavvi's £310 is £330.. it just keeps getting more expensive.

The Wii U Nintendo Land bundle dosen't have a Wii U pro controller, only the ZombiU bundle do.

[Welsh Jester]

The Wii U Nintendo Land bundle dosen't have a Wii U pro controller, only the ZombiU bundle do.

Yeah seems so, i am having trouble finding anywhere with stock though.. at least at the lower prices.

I could just go for the Nintendoland bundle at Zavvi (or sainsburys.. since it's even cheaper) and order a pro controller seperately, i guess there isn't much difference in price compared to if i bought the ZombiU bundle and Nintendoland seperately?.

I mean if i don't want ZombiU, may as well just get the Nintendoland bundle and a pro controller seperate, price is not much difference that way i think.

I kinda wished you would have asked us first. It looks extremely illegitimate.

Read my above post, the order didn't go through so it's fine now.

I think i'll just get Nintendoland with a pro controller seperate, and order from a respectable well known site.

It looks like Shop To still has the Zombie U bundle for pre-order for £324.85.

http://www.shopto.net/wiiu/WIIUHW03-nintendo-wii-u-console-32gb-black-premium-zombiu-bundle

That's a pretty good deal considering you get Zombie U and a pro controller.
