Fallen

I have a little bone to pick with Gamestop, so lately I've been trying to find a Wii U Deluxe Bundle in my city for the past week and they're literally sold out everywhere. This morning I woke up at 9am to check the store availability's in my city and it showed that all the stores got a shipment in (this is when they update that portion of the website ACCORDING to them)

So I drove to one of the Gamestops that was listed and waited outside for an hour until it opened. I go in when the guy was finished setting up etc (I gave the worker some time to settle in) and that's when I posed the question "Do you have any Wii U Deluxe bundles?" and he looked at me with the weirdest look and said "No, Nintendo shut down so we're not getting any shipments in until the end of January." I then followed up with "Are there any stores in Hamilton that have them in stock?" he just replied with a simple No and dismissed me.

Personally, it was quite the let-down. I was actually really stoked to get a Wii U (finally) but apparently Gamestop likes to mislead us a little bit with their availability locator. That is a great marketing scheme though, mislead people into thinking the item they want is in stock in hopes of them going to the store and buying something else instead.

TL;DR Gamestop is shady and I'm only realizing this now.

Hey guys I'm Mike, I'm new to these forums.
I joined this forum to lurk around and see how people are liking the Wii U (haven't bought one yet). I've been seriously considering buying one, I'm not much of a console gamer anymore (once-upon a time a PC Gamer for the 'Hard-Core' scene); or a gamer for that matter anymore due to how busy I get due to college. That being said, I've been looking into the Wii U for something a little more casual and something new.
If anyone wants to throw in their two cents on the Wii U feel free too! I'd love to see what people think of the system so far/have any recommendations of any sort for if/when I do buy this system.
Have a good one!
