Just found this in the target paper, Wii u basic 8GB bundle with Nintendo land and Just Dance
Cheapest is $278 for the console only at big w and the same bundle is $348.
could be of use for someone who really wants to get a wii u.
Starts on the 14th NOVEMBER
Except it's irreplacable because it isn't sold separately (even though they said each U can support 2 gamepads) and you have to go to Nintendo instead which charges a lot of money for another one.
What heck are people doing to break theirs O.o
Dropping it? Or just wanting a second gamepad? No games support 2 pads right now, but the capability is there and some day it will. And will they start selling pads separately when that time comes?
Game pad costs $140 or $150 to replace, and that's in USD. Nintendo Australia will charge the "aussie tax" on top of that, so maybe $180-200. They sold me component cables for $47, and I had to buy them because they were the only ones selling them (not available at retailers, can only buy direct from Nintendo).
Read that as:
Just found this in the toilet paper
LOL Kinda my intention
At least there's some use for catalogue deals that aren't worthy of OzB- use it to wipe ur butt. Now that's making a statement! Sustainability at its finest.
Eh… it's no Dick Smith deal unfortunately.
While it's not a great price, people really need to remember dick smith prices were once off clearance prices
Yeah, it's true. But you know… a bargain is a bargain!
Yes, but your comparing an Apple to an Orange and complaining the Apple isn't as good as the Orange.
Thats what Tal_Shiar is pointing out. Not all bargains are created equally. Or in stock heh.
Well, the base pack has been discontinued so this is effectively Targets "clearance sale" for them. In this case, a direct comparison to Dicks clearance sale isn't unreasonable! Also, unlike other Dick sales there were actually plenty of Wii U's to go round when Dick cleared them. I think they changed their policies so staff can't grab all the stock.

Like that's gonna stop them…remember they're 'Professionals' too.
at least target "has stock" allooo … alloooo ….
I'm only going to regret not getting one from DS once Super Mario 3D World is released.
They went fast I doubt you could have got one if you tried - I know I did and failed.
They still had White ones when I went; but yeah, pretty glad I didn't pick one up still.
Keep in mind that unlike the Dick Smith deal you're also getting two games, a sensor bar and a Wiimote as well with this one.
I thought they stopped selling the basic bundle, replaced it with the premium bundle for the same price?
Most likely Target clearing old Basic Bundle stock.
If this is a clearance price I'm not super impressed tbh. It would be a decent deal if it was the premium for this price.
I thought they stopped selling Wii U from day one in general? Well that's what the figures look like.
They didn't stop selling it. People just stopped buying it. There's a difference.
As long as the retailer buys it, Nintendo gets the sale. Whether retailers can shift their stock or not is the retailer's problem.

Good deal for a good console. Lack of games is dissapointing but they are finally starting to roll them out, little late but finally.
Super Mario in a few weeks, Smash Bros early next year, Monolith X, Bayonetta 2. Overdue but I look forward too them.
after getting a PSV yeseterday, i realized the remote on the wii U basic is basically a psv. touch screen, huge screen, little joystick
