    I've often found Smyths to be farcical when it comes to pre-orders/stock/delivery etc

    So, I am rethinking I want the black wiiu now, Hhavent preordered at all, anywhere, in Dublin.
    What are the chances of getting one between now and the next two weeks?

    What are the actual prices?
    I see Ign have the UK prices up etc here http://ie.ign.com/articles/2012/11/27/wii-u-uk-launch-guide

    I would like Nintendo Land but I can see that going for €12 in the new year so ZombieU and MarioU maybe.

    Argh, do i need a WiiU?
    Nintendoland is a nintendo game.
    They don't like getting cheaper.

    Is 380 for black, 320 for white most places.
    Look for waryus' 6 posts in a row a few pages back for every price from everywhere.

    Got an email from harvey norman earlier saying i'll have to wait another week for my order to be delivered!? I ordered it early yesterday so i'm kinda raging over this. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm hoping they're only covering their backs by saying that.

    I got an email to say that there will be a delay but I expect that is because it is not out until Friday. Its to give to Santa so I don't mind any delays as long as its here by the 25th December;)

    I made the mistake of putting it down to be delivered to my door. They sent me the same email as lindtee but instead of 5 days it said 10. I've waited long enough for it i suppose an extra week wont kill me. There's nothing like getting the console on launch day though.

    Went into HMV in Grafton Street after work earlier today, and asked them about honoring the pre-order price, and they rang a manager, and said they would be honoring the price.

    2 seconds in the nintendoland box is seen inside the wii u box just like the american versions.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xP1a8nxFLc
    In this video, the game disc is inside a clear plastic sleeve.
    I hope the box is included, we're after-all, paying almost twice as much as the americans are for the game.

    Yes, after the initial shipment, once it's gone, it's gone.
    Probably the unit to get for the eBay scalpers out there.

    I'd say Smyth's is probably the best place for Nintendo stuff.
    HMV are probably the worst, I doubt they will get stock based on their interactions in store.

    Looks like all HMVs are now caving in to honouring pre-order price, stock levels are another matter. I have to ring my local one tomorrow to see if they'll have my ZombiU pack on Friday. They better have and i better get one because i was the second person to pre-order one in there...
