Help your fellow gamers out! If you happen to be in a store and see a Wii U for sale, post it here!

Just an Example: I was just at Target in Commack, NY and they had a 32GB Wii U in stock! **NOT REAL! JUST AN EXAMPLE!**

That's weird. The forum isn't showing my post as the 'Last Post' in the topic, and it didn't bump it up the page... AND I REALLY JUST SAW SOME FOR SALE!!

I was just in the Best Buy (Eaton Centre, Toronto Canada location), no black 32GB units, but NINE white 8GB units on display. I picked one up just to make sure it wasn't an empty box. I personally would only want the black unit, but thought any Toronto GS posters might find this useful. On a related note, a Kijiji (like Craigslist) poster in the GTA is selling the same unit for $500. Don't do it!

I'm getting a VERY strong "now or never" vibe when I am out and about in stores today. While in line in that particular Walmart, I was standing behind a Mother buying a Wii game as a gift. She saw an employee buying a Deluxe for himself and asked him what it was. When he told her how short in supply they were, she IMMEDIATELY bought TWO and started calling all her Soccer-Mom friends. She went from spending $30 dollars to spending over $700+ in an instant, on impulse. Once Black Friday hits and the general public catches wind of what's out there, I just DO NOT believe they will be on shelves 'til AFTER the holidays!

Long story short: Try --TODAY-- while stores are stocking their shelves for Friday, or prepare yourself for a long, Winter's wait!

Almost anywhere where I live, both models are still in stock. Yet in my Kijiji, I still see people seeing them almost double the price. <_<

I was just at Fry's in Burbank, CA, and they had Wii U Deluxe's in stock. Not on the floor but the sales rep sold me one when I asked if they had them. Have to buy as a combo with either Super Mario and Zombie U, or Super Mario and Sonic All Star Racing. Can't buy just the system.

I called places in my area and they said they were sold out.

But I called on Monday and only asked for the Deluxe version because at the time Gamestop didn't ship my Deluxe Edition Wii U.

They all said they were expecting a new shipment but they didn't know when it would arrive.

You guys are so lucky, in my area they are holding back stock they got in Wednesday for Black Friday, so I just have to hope I will be able to get a deluxe tonight.

I used to work at Walmart. Employees are not supposed to do that.

One of the Wal-Marts in my area I was there two weeks ago. I asked for a game and they said I never heard of it; I said it released yesterday and he said for some reason our store doesn't get many new games.

Yeah that just ain't right...what if you were on a budget (and really who isn't these days) and wanted to grab the system for your kids for the holidays...planning to pick up software at a later date...that's a bunch of garbage.

I was at best buy today and decided to see if they had any Wii U's in stock. They only had 3 basic Wii U's left and that was their second shipment. I decided to cave in and buy the basic model.

You know what... I advocate for the Black, but the truth is you'll have a gas with the White model too.

So, what's the verdict after "Black Friday?" Are systems out there or has no one seen any?

Well I won't be purchasing one, nintendo In my own personal opinion have

lost all their momentum and core gamer fanbase, I will not buy a console that

is just barely technically comparable to the sony and microsoft consoles, plus

there is no blu-ray or mp3 features. And most of their titles are flipping ports

and they have the sheer audacity to charge £49.99 for them.

So when the new sony/microsoft console come out in a year or so nintendo will behind

their technological superiors once again. I am also put off their I-pad style controller

looks so awkward and uncomfortable. plus no most probably third party support and online

support. Nintendo have been poor in quality and entertainment since the gamecube!

Our Wal-Mart had one basic model Wii-U available last night, and only about three Wii-U games. I should point out that our Wal-Mart is a bit of mess in the electronic department.
