I went to Target and got my deluxe version pre-ordered! It's a $5 pre-order fee.
Warning: the store I went to and another I called for a friend only got FIVE pre-order cards per system edition, each. Meaning 5 standard / 5 deluxe. And I'm in a big city (Miami), and these are the two busiest Targets. So I would definitely go to Target today if you plan on taking advantage of this. If cards are not on display, ask someone in electronics and they should be in the back (which was my case).
Good luck!

But i know that is how the stories go.
I got my deluxe from gamestop. They called me and said hey come preorder one. You only gotta put down $25 because your a member. I said cool im coming.
Get there and he said preorders for the deluxe will stop tonight. your the 2 second person to preorder one i only got 6 more left. And sure enough came the next day and they where sold out of 8 deluxe and 26 basic.
Now target is a little late to the game but i am betting the same thing will happen. That is what happen with walmart they sold out as soon as it went online.

Now, what happens to the $5 you spent on the reservation card if you choose to not pick up the Wii U console?

Mahahah money in there pocket.Okay, let's see if I have this right. You buy the reservation card for $5. You have 7 days after the release to pick up your Wii U console. You present your reservation card and they give you a $5 gift card which can't be used on the Wii U console purchase.
Now, what happens to the $5 you spent on the reservation card if you choose to not pick up the Wii U console?
I heard walmart layaway is the same thing. If you make the payments but then stop they put back all your stuff and charge you a 15% restock fee. So you dont get refunded all your money.
So game here. IF you put $5 down and dont pick it the system. They keep it as a restocking fee.
Either way i dont like preordering from stores like that. I only deal wil gamestop. Plus the own and workers there know me by name lol. So we all get along and its cool. I walk in and my games are already for me with my name on them.

Just found out the answer. I returned my $5 reservation card and got my $5 back. As far as Walmart goes . . . on the receipt it clearly states "If you cancel your layaway account: - - The items will be returned to inventory - - Your down payment, payments made, and the layaway open fee of $5.00 will be refunded". So, you can cancel your layaway account, assuming that you just opened it to pre order a Wii U, and get all of your money back.
Pre ordering from GameStop was my preference as well but I missed the pre ordering window before they sold out. So, I did the Walmart and Target thing as back ups. I was put on the wait list at GameStop and just got a call 2 days ago saying I could pick up my Wii U Sunday morning at 8:30 am. That's why I returned my Target reservation card and will close my layaway account at Wally World.
