Wii-U - Amazon listing UK prices and launch date

I'm totally in the 'received despatch email from Sainsbury's this morning but DPD site hasn't updated yet' camp.

People who might have more experience with this - is it worth staying in all day for it? Or is it certainly going to be tomorrow?
 
GAME are up to their usual tricks.

Just phoned up a friend trying to flog him insurance cover on the unit for £59.99 a year.
They told him some utter bull - according to them, the one year manufacturer's warranty only covers the console and not the gamepad so if it goes wrong, you have to buy a whole new console as you can't buy the gamepad on its own......

Yeah.......

how does that work then? they are sold as one, one can't work without the other, so how can they claim they won't cover the gamepad?

I know it's a scare tactic, but if they use it on someone who doesn't take the cover and their gamepad doesn't work, will they really refuse to replace it?
 
My copy of NSMBU has shipped! But Wii U is still "dispatching soon" and Sonic All-Stars Racing has no change in status :/
 
So I was reading up on shopto's delivery stuff and it says that my first two orders must be sent to my billing address (Blackpool), but my current delivery address is Cardiff.

Now I made sure (about 40 times) that my delivery address was set to my current address and the email I got said it was being delivered to cardiff, so should I be worried at all about it getting delivered to Blackpool? Because that's quite a while away from where I live right now.

Yes, I am incredibley paranoid.

Best thing to do would be to ring them and ask.
 
Tracking number for TNT still dead (shopto), no sign of delivery yet either. I got tracking number at 8.25am yesterday, really hope it comes today so I can get all the downloading done :(
 
Sainsburys sent me my DPD tracking link today at 06:52. Doesn't show any info for me as yet.

Not hopeful that it will arrive today all the way down here at the end of England.
 
Just got this email from Amazon and almost had a heart attack.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:

"Hard Case for Gamepad - Black (Nintendo Wii U)"
Estimated arrival date: December 10 2012 - December 12 2012

Until I realised it was just my case :)
 
Your order from Amazon is out for delivery today by Mick your DPD driver and is due to be delivered between 13:12-14:12

Come on Mick! In other news, thegamecollection.net aren't budging on a ZombiU order but Lovefilm already put Mario U in my queue.
 
Housemate just sent me a message saying my Wii U has arrived from Amazon!
I'm not home until 7:30pm tonight, however!! D:

Watching the clock slowly tick. Hurry up, clock!

Yay! Didn't expect it until tomorrow!
 
I've jumped on the bangwagon and have decided to get the WiiU. Not sure whether to chance my luck with shops tomorrow or order it on Amazon now with next day delivery.

Amazon are giving me the option to have it delivered for tomorrow. Seems legit? Any idea what stock availability is like over here? Don't want to order it today and instantly get an email telling me I have to wait a week!

From what i've gathered so far Wii U stock isn't really an issue at the moment
 
*Just* got my email from ShopTo saying it's been dispatched and will be picked up on their next TNT run.

Still waiting for my dispatch from them. Pretty annoyed that some have received theres already despite ordering this week when I've had my preorder in place since the beginning of September.

Awesome! Good to hear someone else's is taking a while, was starting to worry there was something wrong with my order. Hopefully they ship mine soon!

I'm a Gold member, put my order in as soon as they put the console on sale, and they still haven't shipped mine... Seems like they just ship them out at random :/
 
Nice. Amazon lowered the price to the one that was a mistake. 200£ for the premium pack is not too shabby.
According to dhl, it should arrive today.
 
Can you still preorder on Amazon.co.uk? Can someone check for me please as I'm currently out and my phones slow :(

Yes. Both the black and white bundles are still available to preorder.


Every damn car door noise is making me fly towards the window to check, this wait is killing me.

Anyone else living in cardiff pre-order from shopto?
