Nintendo Wii U Pre-order £199.99 (around €250) @ Amazon

Worth doing just in case the price goes higher, their price guarantee means you pay the price you pre-ordered at. (It's currently £280 on shopto)

It's strange that it has a release date of July 14.

Does the money come out now or when it's released?

It won't be released then at all. We will get an email in the next few days telling us of that mistake and an updated release date.

The price however will stay the same. This has been my experience from other amazon pre orders that seemed to good to be true.

UPDATE: An Amazon customer service representative, speaking to me over the phone, tells me that all information in their Black Wii U listing – including price and date – comes from their suppliers (not the manufacturer). I was also assured that this console is covered by their price guarantee, including the eventuality that the price increases once customers have placed their order (though the on-site guarantee mentions only decreases). This means that if you order a Black Wii U from Amazon for £199.99, that is the maximum price you will pay.

Any ideas on what the actual release date for this is? Also, do Amazon only charge when it's been shipped?
