Put it like this i use to have an xbox 360 and never brought a game for it. Had halo 3wk ahead of time.

But The different is he has a business and that can put him out. Its just not smart to break the street dates when you have a business.
Amazon has been sued before for breaking street date and some companies have even pulled there stock from them.


The mom and pop store around the corner from me does the same thing. They sold me my 3DS the day before the street date. I guess they figured who cares? No one will turn them in and they only get a few compared to the loads the big guys do. I hope they do the same for the Wii U tomorrow...

Well guys I went to the video game store my buddy works at that gets games in early and fed ex droped off three basic wii u the owner ordered 10 whites and 10 blacks for each store but due to limited quanties was only shipped 3 white wii us I have pictures. I went there for nsmbu and zombie u but they did not get them in so I will just keep my amazon preorder for those. I did buy a black wii u motion plus though. T he bad news is the owner of the store told my friend to hide the 3 wii us and dont sell them hes going to sell them for a hire price online I thought that was really shady.

Awsome news just checked my email and was sent a traking number for my deluxe wii u.



I don't agree with that at all, I can't belive he would do that, to play off peoples desperation to get more money for it is wrong.

I agree my buddy that works there was pissed to he did not preorder 1 but he wants to get a deluxe when the store gets em . I was joking around with my buddy cause as soon as he got the wii u in he had to call the boss to let him know and the boss told him dont tell anyone and lock them in the bathroom im coming to pick them up. The store only got 2 preorders for wii u . Not alot of people know about wii u but the boss was checking prices on ebay to see what they were going for i think hes going to prob sell the basic for 400 I hope none buys em and they rot.

Unfortunatley there will be desparate parents buying wii u on ebay at high prices cause they dont want to see there kids dissappointed christmas day its a bad world we live in. Maybbe one day a video game company will actually make enough supply for the demand. PEople should know better when a new system comes out you got to preorder if you want to get 1. I feel bad for anyone that preorders a basic at that store there prob going to get lied too.
