If you can cash in NintendoLand for £25.00 you get a cost price of £230. Not great but not bad either.

Expansys shipping price is ridiculous. They want 40 Euro to Malta, where it costs like 10 Euro from Amazon for express shipping.

I put my pre-order there within minutes that they put it.
I don't see why they should remove it though

Just the Deluxe version or the Basic Set, too?
All sold out:
- Deluxe version.
- Basic version.
- Wii U Premium Pack - ZombiU
I don't know if other shops have opened the preorders. I have to go to GAME, Gameshop, Gamestop, MediaMarkt and Saturn to confirm it.
I am betting that is a listing error, Nintendo has confirmed this is not the case.

Just noticed they left out the classic Wii U controller.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Zavvi UK has the ZombiU pack for £299.99 and the premium for £274.99

They also have TANK TANK TANK for £23.95 which is the cheapest game i've seen.
Expansys's cheap price changes to TBA when you try to order it.... so yeah, don't go there.

It's not like you can't cancel any pre-order over the next two months...
I pre-ordered the Wii U when drunk at 2am on Thursday, haha. I had no 3G in the pubs I was in and it was killing me. I'm such a loser!
Well, I paid it off all in one go at blockbuster. I was buying it anyway, so Ill just leave it heh

Ah right, in that case it probably is a good thing. I put four Wii U pre-orders in online and cancelled three of them so I assumed you were in that situation 
They also seem to have an Austrian outlet. It says 319,99 on the page but at checkout it was 266,66... no shipping and no taxes.. hmm. So it will jump back to 319,99 then. Gonna cancel xD
that's pricey. I will check if amazon.it lists it, it will probably be cheaper on there
ps. site lists Rayman Legends as multiplatform, eh eh...eh
cause they want the media to report it as being sold out before and on launch.
Just like the wii.
then they will have big shipments arriving for Black Friday and the pre-Christmas rush
Parents do not dare not buying the latest and biggest console for Christmas in fear of it running out of stock.
It will be sold out in November, but late november early december it will be available everywhere again.

I don't believe stores even know their launch allocation yet. I would say they're all being very conservative at the moment.
As someone who worked in games retail management for the past few years, I can say that retailers do get a precise allocation number. We knew exactly how many consoles we were going to have for each major launch, and any extra allocation was completely unknown until the buying team told us of any (which was a very rare occurance and only happened with the slim 360)

Yup, they also give a 5% discount if it's your first order so you can get it for £285 if you haven't ordered from them before. I'm waiting to hear from Amazon about my request to have my June pre-order for £199.99 reinstated but if I don't get it then Zavvi is my next stop.
Can't believe that some people were doubting that a Nintendo console launching with a 2D Mario game was going to be anything but a runaway success, pre-orders are selling out all over the place in Europe and the States, and with the U launching with a Monster Hunter bundle and keys for the Beta of Dragon Quest X in Japan things are going to be really mental over there!
OSainsbury's (cheaper than Zavvi with the offer code) because I believe their delivery to be more reliable.
Hoping someone even more reliable goes cheaper though.
like I said, amazon. it. Cheaper than Zavvi and it delivers faster, at least for me

Honestly I don't think it's too bad buying hardware from Zavvi. They send all that stuff by next day courier.
Just to make things clear, Zavvi can't deliver orders to all European customers.
I just got a mail saying that my order has been cancelled due to the fact that they can't deliver home electronics outside of UK
You can re-order this item if you have an alternative delivery address within the United Kingdom for us to despatch to.
maybe you can use borderlinx but there will be extra costs to that. as well as delivery delays
Which code are we talking about?
Sainsbury's for me but I'm keeping a constant eye on Amazon.
People have mixed experiences with Zavvi but for me I'd rather just spend the extra money at a more trusted retailer.
Pro controller seems to be around £30-32, so assuming you want both Nintendoland and zombieU, the price is basically the same whether you get the premium bundle and buy zombieU and pro controller, or the zombieU bundle and buy Nintendoland.
I'd be wary of zavvi shipping on time. Don't know how reliable amazon are but they should be better. Tempted to gamble on a preorder there with the hope that prices drop due to matching a supermarket etc.

I have mine at ShopTo. Slightly more expensive, but I actually trust them to get it to me on launch (if not a day earlier), and I'll make most of the price difference back in reward points anyway. I just don't trust Zavvi.

I'm buying from a supermarket or will run the gauntlet and buy one from game if they give me a good price for playstation 3 and games. I''m also keeping an eye on amazon hoping they will match zavvi.

Probably - also, I have a feeling that ZombiU will drop in price quickly, where as Nintendoland - being a Nintendo first party game - will still be the same price 4 years from now.
Just done this too. With points I currently have, plus points earned, it's only slightly more than zavvi, and I'm more confident I'll get it on time. Premium pack.

£199 for the Basic SKU..? I thought the Premium SKU was £199.99 at one point..?

Awww that kinda sucks. I enjoyed Wii sports as a pack in showing off some of what the Wiimote can do and I kinda want Nintendoland for the same reason.
Is TTT2WiiU edition a launch title? Might get the Nintendo land bundle and that as it'd come out at just a bit over the price of the ZombiU one and then get ZombiU a bit later if it ends up being as awesome as it should be.
