    the basic console bundle is way better value than the premium console bundle. You can just connect your own hard drive later. Also the prices on the eshop are so expensive so i cant really see people buying too many games anyways.

  • argonide on 19/01/2014 - 15:39

    Is it "Pokémon X and Pokémon Y" or "Pokemon X or Pokemon Y"?

      Like I said above. Nintendo's problem are their games. They have no momentum but they expect that to pick up when Mariokart 8 and Supersmash bros come out so it's logical to see if they have any impact on console sales before Nintendo did a price cut.

      Had to lmao at that Pachter jerk saying Nintendo should make their top games on PS4 and Xbox One… so wrong.

      The Wii U is a failure and I don't see it recovering but for fans of the first party games, if they can get the console cheap, it's a small price to pay for even a small bunch of A quality games.

      What Nintendo need to do is launch a proper next gen console (don't give devs a choice to keep their games in SD like they've done with the Wii U), no gimmicky controllers and actually launch with a Zelda and Mario game.

      • TRENT86 on 19/01/2014 - 19:57

          Indeed. It's like the majority of people tripped over in store and bought Samsung's by accident. The reason iPhone gained its popularity back in the day was because it was great quality and innovative. Now it has been long surpassed and is old hat so the die hards defend it to the death and the iSheep still buy it until they realize that their friend's phone actually does everything better.

          @Putnum, My phone is a Nexus, my 7" tablet is a Nook running Jellybean and my large tablet is an iPad 3. I'm open to all brands. I hate on Samsung because they are overpriced plastic crap the ruins the Android name. My $299 Nexus 4 with a custom ROM and kernel nearly matches the REAL WORLD performance of a stock Galaxy S4, despite the S4 being far superior on specs. Really highlights how terrible Samsung is at delivering quality products.

          Samsung was just clever with their marketing timing. They saw Apple was floundering and they spent billions marketing themselves as their replacement. I guess you gobbled that up, meanwhile the likes of LG and Sony are producing physically better phones and UI more in line with Matias Duarte vision.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/01/2014 - 08:57
          +1

          Excuse me? In my experience the Nexus 4 is a poorly made PoS. I just got rid of mine and went back to Samsung devices as I've never had a problem with them. The Nexus range is (in my experience) all spec and no build quality. My Nexus One constantly had rebooting issues and over heated often. My Nexus 7 cannot have it's storage filled, you try to go any closer than 3GB to capacity (16GB model) and it slows down almost to a standstill. This can only be fixed by a clean wipe, it's a known issue with one of the chips (I forget now, google it for clarity) and the Nexus 4 is the biggest joke of them all. Glass back? Check (dropped a tea spoon on it from around a foot above and it shattered. Overheating issue? Check (the top of the phone heats up so bad it actually caused me pain several times when it was in my jeans pocket. Random reboots? Check (the phone was completely stock yet rebooted several times a day, total deal breaker for me as I listen to many podcasts or audiobooks whilst working)

          I only got the Nexus 4 as my wife had broken her much loved Note(1). She didn't wanted to splurge at the time for the Note 2 as she wanted to wait on either a price drop or the Note 3 so we decided the Nexus 4 was good bang for buck, after a couple of days she asked if I would swap her as she preferred my S34G and I did, big mistake. Anyway I'm
          back on to a Note 3 now after 4 months of putting up with the N4, absolutely love it. No reboots, lightening fast, beautiful screen and does everything it is supposed to. What's not to like?

        • PainToad on 20/01/2014 - 09:22
          +1

          Never had any issues you have described. The Nexus 7 issue with space was probably related to TRIM, which has been fixed.

          I'd rather a glass back than plastic or heaven forbid the absolute cringe worthy fake leather on the Note 3. Seriously only Samsunng could think of something incredibly tacky. Honestly the Huawei Mate 2 looks more classy than the Note 3. Shame because the internals in the Note 3 are a beast.

          The best option I reckon is the metal back found on the HTC One and iPhone 5 but.

        • cheepwun on 20/01/2014 - 10:46

          Metal interferes with radio frequencies. I much prefer plastic, plus the cold feeling you get when picking a metal phone on a cold day is not to my tastes.

          Nobody seems to complain that games controllers are plastic (for example), and I'd hate for them to start using metals on exterior surfaces. Yet they have to be durable (and are). I'm not quite sure why plastic phones in general are considered cheap crap. Plastic is one of the most practical and durable materials to use for the exterior of a phone.

          All the companies making the OS and/or the phone themselves are NSA associates, and as such should be named & shamed. I think Apple, Google & Samsung all have overpriced offerings and all use (or have used) the public as guinea pigs with their overhyped products at some point. Generally-speaking the best value is to be had outside the overhyped phones, such as cheap China phones.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/01/2014 - 10:53

          Yeah the first thing I done was added a leather wallet case which solved the leather look plastic case you mentioned so as you said yourself, it's beast. But for me the glass back on the N4 was a mistake. They already had issues with it enough to cause a revision, they added small nubs in corners to help prevent it sliding when vibrating on tables and other surfaces (which did little to help) but I think the glass also added to the heat issues.

        • PainToad on 20/01/2014 - 11:21

          "Nobody seems to complain that games controllers are plastic"
          Well that would be because game controllers don't cost $300-$999. People expect higher quality materials on more expensive products.

          The Nexus 4 nubs were to raise the device so the back speaker would be louder. Unfortunately your leather case won't get rid of the horrid TouchWiz, unless your rocking a custom ROM, in which case kudos.

        • cheepwun on 20/01/2014 - 11:58

          People expect higher quality materials on more expensive products.

          Most TVs for example are still all-plastic outside, despite the high price. Some might use brushed metal or metallic-looking paint on parts to satisfy perceptions of premium materials. All cosmetic, in my opinion.

          If some people do want 'quality' materials as you put it, that's a marketing problem, not really a quality materials problem. Yes, some of the public wants to differentiate their device from the mainstream devices (being all-plastic), that's all that is. What's worse to me is when they do the silver paint thing to differentiate.

          Metal-back phones are terrible for antennas. There has to be a gap for antennas anyway, and most metal-shelled phones fare worse as communications devices than regular phones with a plastic shell. They have to be carefully designed with enough clearance for the antennas (gps/bluetooth/wifi/phone) to do their thing, and the engineering task is generally less flexible and more difficult, all things being equal.

          When you consider that today's devices (given their size and glass use) are actually less durable than the phones of old, that's saying something about what is premium and what isn't (to me). The rest is just perceptions and marketing fluff (again, my opinion only). This is without going into the fact that many 'premium'-marketed phones omit MicroSD and removable batteries (which are two things I expect on all modern phones).

          If games controllers (again, for example) came in metal shells (even at the same price), I'd be asking for the plastic one instead. I think metal is a worse choice, but of course opinions vary. To me there's nothing premium about a worse choice of materials, but of course there is the market that still wants to differentiate itself from the crowd and likes the look and feel of metal (which is fair enough).

          To be honest I'm a fan of TW. Have been since the SGS2. It's fast, very fast infact. It is intuitive (Google have integrated some TW features into their stock OS) and the SPen features are spot on. It's also not far behind on updates, 4.2.2 update is rolling out already and it is said to be even faster (which is hard to imagine as everything already works instantaneously) It's cool to bag on the bloatware but truth be told, you don't need to use it. I just install the apps I want, set them to default and carry on regardless.

          "4.2.2 update is rolling out already"
          Already? 4.2.2 is 11 months old. No achievement there.

          "Most TVs for example are still all-plastic outside, despite the high price"
          People don't hold TVs in their hands. The plastic feel isn't an issue.

          My bad. 4.4.2, KitKat. Not bad at all considering it's not a 'Pure Google' device as my Nexus loving friend often tells me.

          As for plastic, isn't the new Nexus back to being rubber/plastic mold?

          If you love metal so much you can finally buy a Samsung galaxy s5 which will be metal, I know you want to

          they do remotes.
          And they don't break when dropped…

    There will be a price matching frenzy when this starts on Thu. Anything to save a few bucks…

    • gibspmuh on 23/01/2014 - 13:20

      Looks like JB Hi-Fi have started the price matching, they're also selling the bundle for $249 now as well - http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/wii-u/wii-u-8gb-skylande…

        The Wii-U will only get cheaper when SSB & MK8 comes out. Maybe around $199 for basic or $300 for pro console only packs. They rely (almost) purely on 1st party titles to shift consoles.

        • TRENT86 on 23/01/2014 - 15:38

          Maybe in America but not here, Nintendo already makes basically no money on it's consoles so they won't want to go much further, that being said Australia is still missing out on the $50 price drop Americans got last year.

        • grab_ur_freebies on 23/01/2014 - 17:38

          Thats why I think they may reduce the cost of the console & sell those at a loss all while placing their bets on those games to make up for the loss & break even this gen.

        • TRENT86 on 23/01/2014 - 22:54

          You know what amazes me is the fact Wii games are still like $89!!! Wtf!

  • jace88 on 20/01/2014 - 12:25

    $249 on Wii U basic seems reasonable. $399 for premium with JD4/Nintendoland is a bit rich- would pony up $50 more to get Mario Bros pack.

    • TRENT86 on 20/01/2014 - 16:04

      I wouldn't be surprised if Target let you get the Mario bros pack for the same price if you asked.

        They don't stock it.

        • TRENT86 on 23/01/2014 - 15:40

          Asked them today and they do

    The rumour mill was saying that KMART might be clearing out their consoles soon… not sure on the validity of it… read it on some forums. Alot of KMARTS don't seem to have Wii U in stock these days.

    Might be a repeat of DickSmith when they sold the Wii U for $214…

    • jace88 on 21/01/2014 - 17:58

      I'd say a lot of stores don't stock many Wii U's these days.

      Tempting to get the Skylanders pack as it seems to be popular, and use the $10 AMEX cashback as well so it'll be $239.

  • Camcordx on 23/01/2014 - 16:11

    great deal
