I'm not worried about stock problems affecting me really. Not only did I get my pre-order through back in September, but I ordered the Ghetto White model too.


I wanted a white one but i thought it was a better deal buying the black since it came with more memory and a game

The black one just didn't seem worth it to me. A game I wasn't hugely interested in, storage I'll need to expand anyway, a discount/loyalty scheme that's dependent on my spending £50-£60 on eShop purchases for £5 off and a sensor bar I can just take from the Wii. Might as well pay £50 less and get NintendoLand, USB HDD and spare sensor bar over the next couple of years as I need them.

I guess, I actually got my bundle for £160 because of staff discount and a voucher i had so i thought it was a decent deal.

Oh yeah, I know it's not going to be the same for everybody. I was on a really tight budget so close to Christmas too so that factored in. I don't think either is a particularly bad choice, it just depends on how much good £50 is to you.

My Amazon.co.uk order just bumped up to "Dispatching Soon."

Excitement!

my order stillonly says processed :( but the delivery date is still 30th so fingers crossed it'll update to dispatched today some time.
I hear voices in my head all the time, telling me what to do. But I just ignore them and carry on killing.

1. I'm sure the OP is aware of this. Since it is a "British Wii U Thread" he decided to use stereotypical british phrases as a joke.

2. I know lots of people who say "cheerio"

As the OP, I'd like to say that I'm happier saying this like "pip pip" than derogatory things like "spasticated."
