What I mean is, was the ZombiU bundle available for pre-order before it was revealed as a bundle in the Nintendo Direct.

I just found this

Look at the sticker/logo on the box, it shows the zombi u logo and not the nintendo land one. I wish that people would pay more attention especially when it comes to forking out that kinda money

Go to game and complain if they gave you the wrong info, it sucks but what are you gonna do.

Demon, you are just a troll. You are baiting/trolling. I have already explained that me and many hundreds of others were told we were going to get Nintendo Land. If you want to take it out on someone, go to Nintendo.

It's them you should be mocking, not me, because I was told as the consumer, as the nobody, that I would get this product, and I was lied to.

As for the Zombi U bundle, it was available pretty much since Wii U was available to preorder. Day 1.

That's what I was hoping to be honest. I'll be going to town tomorrow anyway, but I can't see GAME giving me any kind of discount. Probably say "take it up with Nintendo as that's what we were told to say to customers".

I wish I waited longer to preorder now, but I panicked because the US sold out of preorders.

It's not Nintendo's fault, they never said that it came with Nintendo Land. It's easy to do a google search which takes 5 seconds to see what the bundle comes with. I did the same thing concerning the lack of a sensor bar with the basic model, there is nothing wrong with doing a bit of research. Also you could go into Game and demand for a full refund or they will have to give you Nintendo land for free if they really told you that it was included. I'm no troll, just an honest person that doesn't understand why you would buy it from them in the first place considering that they are ripping you off.

I find this thread very entertaining, people are crying over what $20-$30. In reality it's really not that much money.

[x-SourApple-x]

It's the only shop with easy access on the high street for me. Simple.

I went with HMV before, but proved to be useless, and conned me out of my money once, Argos I wouldn't touch for main electronics, and GAME is really the only place that is left.

I don't like using my card details online for a start, and if I go to plug my nice brand new Wii U in, and something isn't working, I'm going to be a bit gutted that I can't just get it replaced same day aren't I? You'd have to wait another 2 days just to get a courier to come round and pick it up, and wait just as long for a replacement.

I don't like GAME as much as the next person, but I'm not left with much of a choice. Even GAME have had many complaints from me in the past about misinformation.

I agree, and if it is too much then gaming shouldn't be a hobby for that person.

$20-$30? No, it's $65 extra I'm spending on the Zombi U bundle. We are talking Pound Sterling here, not US Dollars.

I would go into the shop and explain what happened, they can't take your deposit if you were misinformed about the product.

Old news.

If it's old news, why are there many people on other websites who never even heard of this?

I'm pretty sure that everyone already knows this

As for the Zombi U bundle, it was available pretty much since Wii U was available to preorder. Day 1.

I'm asking if it was before or after the Nintendo Direct, mainly because that was the official announcement for the ZombiU bundle. If retailers were already selling the bundle as a pre-order beforehand, then apart from a breach, they'd also have no way to deny misinformation.

More importantly, if it was after, their information would've been handed down based on this presentation, at which no point when I watched it believed the ZombiU bundle had Nintendoland in it, rather, Nintendoland itself being replaced by ZombiU.

[Crackkat]

you're getting ripped off not by nintendo but by GAME. they over price everything, order form Zavvi or Amazon. actually Zavvi sold out of the Zombi U bundle

[x-SourApple-x]

Well I didn't know, and I've been keeping up with Wii U news every day since release, as well as a good friend of mine, it's all we talk about lately, so everyone can't have known about this as soon as the news was released, especially parents who know nothing about gaming, and have bought their kids a Wii U for Christmas, having no idea about what they're buying.

I believe that it was up for preorder after it was announced on the nintendo direct live broadcast, and i agree that when nintendo revealed the bundle that it was quite obvious that it was replacing nintendo land.

You never get anything on time with Zavvi though. They basically send everything out like 2nd class post, and send out on the day of release, rather than beforehand so it gets to you on the day of release.

Preordered with them before, took 10 days to get to me.
