I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Utter madness, that's what it is.
Wii-U - Amazon listing UK prices and launch date
- Thread starter mocoworm
- Start date
Utter madness, that's what it is.

What's the 3 month Nintendo Network pack, I thought it ran til Dec 2014?
The BBC is one of the best things about the UK. What the fuck are you talking about?

Fair play! I'm actually kinda suprised we haven't seen any of Nintendo's big franchises so far. At this point with the Wii, we'd seen footage of Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Twilight Princess, Smash Bros. Brawl... we knew they'd got a lot of stuff coming, even if it was only Zelda that was out at launch. Would have thought they'd at least be teasing the Wii U installments of some of their franchises.
I still find it terrible compared to Free Greek public tv.
Somebody PM a mod.

Get out!.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Nintendo really seem to be into the "little notice" thing at the moment. Look at these Nintendo Directs - we didn't know about them 3 days ago.

Yeah because greek TV makes stuff like Doctor who and the Thick of it. Oh and of course the best News station on TV and Radio in the world.

I think it's just a popular game to throw in along the wii U, not an official pack of sorts.

A good point, and when you own the platform anyway it's an awesome surprise when they can be like "Check out this new Metroid game! It comes out in two months!"
But for a console launch, you'd think they'd be a bit more open with what they have in the pipeline, to encourage people to actually jump on in the first place.
If were talking about the 299 premium, then I dont think it is. On amazon placeholder prices are listed as 45 pounds, so you make a 14 pounds profit.
about 20p a month
No because Greek tv actually shows them too
And they also show lots of movies and stuff like that, in English. And shit loads of channels.

FWIW, the Customer Services guy I just spoke to confirmed my £199.99 order was safe.
*dances*
ahahahahahahahaha no.

ahahahahahahahaha no.
So reliable that there's no 'Buy' button on the page!
BBC radio network and sports coverage alone are worth the license fee. I don't watch that much BBC TV but what I do watch is good.
No, I think it is an official pack, isn't it? The Nintendo Direct specifically mentioned it for the EU. Basically just Premium + ZombiU + Pro Controller.

The fuck are you doing to blow £80 a month on electricity? And you're driving ~1000km every four days? Looks like you've got expensive tastes
i spend 120 euros on electricty at month
Where you order from?
What the fuck is this

Strange, we never get any of your Greek television over here.

are they honouring all £199 pre-orders as standard then? or is it case by case?
Its not like you could understand Greek , so it would be quite useless.
My point is the content of all the channels and not just one channel. From nice Greek movies and series (yes they make a few good ones). to English movies and series, to a few other international movies. I mean you could easily switch channels many times and find something interesting on all them.

We don't pay for all of our channels like you think...
Certainly a very unique opinion. Still, given that you get all our "terrible" television shows, I'm sure you'll know the chap in my avatar well. Needless to say, he will be having the last laugh.A personal opinion.. get used to it

Oh you silly donkey. We get Scandinavian and French dramas among others on our terrestrial TV. Subtitles. Anyway, we digress again.
I guess it should be standard right now, as I doubt they'll go cancelling one by one based on if you contacted customer support or not, neither they're going to delete the listing (which is the usual method when this stuff happens) as they'll also lose the preorders for 264, 280 and 300 pounds peeps.
I got in at £220. Good enough. I'll keep the preorder at that price for sure.
Ah well I got the £285 Wii U Premium bundle just before it went up to £300. Better than nothing.
And having seen the alternative, I'm really glad there is. And with Sky+HD thrown in the mix with a ridiculous amount of HD channels, I could never wish for anything more.But there is a tv tax ? aint there

No, there isn't. Not the topic, but it's optional; you don't even need it for iPlayer.
Also, I've experienced Greek TV, and you're full of shit.
Thanks, didn't realise that. I had the info from Eurogamer and assumed those were confirmed prices, shame they're not.
Why post this? As I said above I got the info from elsewhere, since it was wrong why not tell me that like the above posters did instead of making a pointless post?

Its almost like someone has seen what happens to certain threads when you mention certain things...
Anyway, on topic!
Crazy that Amazon will honour those preorders, but its policy - lucky gaffers!

This reads like a line from Red Dwarf.
I got my premium slightly cheaper than that, so it works out cheaper for me to get them separately now
not by much though.I got my premium slightly cheaper than that, so it works out cheaper for me to get them separately now
Even with the pro controller? Where did you buy it from?

Chuffed they seem to be honouring the pre-orders! Got black and white baby!
Also, when I stayed in Rhodes, the only channel worth watching was BBC World. All of the other channels was ad-riddled nonsense, reality shows and bollocks. Pretty much every Greek channel had the equivalent budget of something like "Dave" or "Viva". Crappy MTV shows like Pimp My Ride with subtitles and adverts every three minutes. Awful.
