    thats a bit crap.
    I was told 350 for the premium (with nintendoland) , now its 375?
    I have no proof as the receipt doesnt say.
    Hopefully they will honor the pre-orders.

    It should be on their system what date you preordered at, so you should be ok. Maybe ring them and ask.

    Thanks for posting:) Cancelled my Amazon.fr order and went for this instead. Prob works out slightly cheaper as I won't have to get a eu plug adapter. The Zombieu pack worked out at €387 after discount (cyber2012)

    Cant get Harvey Norman to work. Seems to be stuck in an infinite loop at the "Placing the order" screen. On it at least 20 minutes now

    I don't think they've been selling online for very long, it could even be the first day today! (They have had a website for a good few years though) They are an established company here and elsewhere so there should be no problems.

    Seems good. (all depends on the game included)

    My concern with the white version is that I never saw a white charging stand available to buy from nintendo, likewise only saw the white pro controller on US stores.

    Just rang gamestop head office and was told they have received full orders for all wii u so all pre orders for GameStop here are guaranteed :D

    YESSSSS

    Friday can't come quick enough

    By "Here" do you mean Ireland? Ive had a Zombi U version pre ordered for almost 2 months, been counting down the days since E3 2011 so to not get one on launch could kill me...

    Anyone check out the littlewoods ireland website? Claims everthing is in stock now inclding Pikmin 3 :-P (and has was/now pricing on everything, which i though was illegal unless you actually had the product at the more expensive "was" price for a number of weeks).
    Anyway, some interesting deals on their...basic pack + batman ac for €359 (was €449, apparently).

    Was in there today and had display to say 30th of November it to be released.

    Is there suppose to be a fitness board going with the new wiiu like the wii, finding it hard to find one at the moment on its own!?

    Will hang on a few months to get the wiiU in case of software issues or anything like that, they don't seem to have many wiiu games out unlike the wiiu?

    Cheers for the head up on littlewoods.
    I pre- ordered the console with HMV Henry street, still waiting to see if they will honor pre-order pricing.
    I have 250 euro on a HMV voucher so can't shop elsewhere.

    I did manage to pre-order super mario bros for the WiiU on littlewoods for 46.80
    I used a 10% off code from bargain alerts.
    Happy with that.
    Thanks again.

    This is a great price either way - the console is €320 most places!

    Zombi U pack is a day one only SKU, qtys are very low across the whole market.

    Why?

    Good deal at harvey's. :9
    I just couldn't stomach cancelling my gamestop pre-order and having to spend the 380 in store there. Would be a far worse robbery.

    Has anyone heard anything about HMV in Liffey Valley regards honoring the price? I'll ring them now, but I expect the usual 'ah the price is gone up sorry" lark, be nice if I could throw back at them some people are getting the old price
