I never use screenprotectors. I don't like the way they look after a while
i'm a real life graphics whore.

Hori Store
Amazon Currently out of stock
Amazon (stylus + Screen protector bundle, comes dec. 7th)
Those are the three cheapest places to get one. Play-asia does stock them but they're a tad bit more expensive and you have to pay more for shipping and handling.
Thanks for the video, it sure does look very user friendly. With that three-part adhesive layer protection (rather than just one unwieldy flap; I'm baffled that even large iPad protectors still use this), it does look much easier to align and apply.
Too bad the price in my region is rather high, almost 13£. Will be trying a generic brand £2 one first, perhaps replacing it with this it it's too cheap.

Keep it here. Let's all enjoy everyone's Wii U releases. Also better to leave it all here so US owners can answer questions of our friends in Europe and Japan.

Maybe more people in other regions getting it? Are there lights showing up in parts of Europe or something in the menu?
if i'm not mistaken the update is not live for EU, so it's just you guys on miiverse right now.

Ok now that I got SS back (still need motion plus remote) can I download the patch in wii mode thatll fix the game and play it bug free? Ive never went in Wii mode.
I guess more people just getting the game. What a black ops update?
Thanks! Let the hype begin!
I'm having urges to call the courier company to ask if they could maybe possibly rush and bring it today, but I'm thinking maybe there will be something on the box that says not to deliver it til tomorrow. Maybe I should just sit tight?

Tomorrow!
No midnight launches here >_> or else NZ would be one of the (or the?) first PAL places in the world to get it!
So instead have to wait till 9am to get it. Probably about 20ish hours to go till I'll have mine to play!

Ack! You beat me by...4 hours.Tomorrow!

Yea but I thought someone said the update was pre-installed for EU?
Nah. Urban myth.
Will I be able to play BLOPS2 online immediately, without having to worry about the update?
yeah, but a couple of post later the same person said he was wrong

Oh.. I doubt you can go online lol
Thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking that was a bit too fast for them to be pre-installed.
Nope. There was a clingy plastic wrap all over the console though.

I haven't played any virtual console games on my Wiiu, just my wii. No problems here. Own a 46 inch bravia.
The Elite

No tape.
The rumour is specifically for Wii U playing vc games in Wii mode. I have a lot of them and I'd rather not do a transfer if it makes them less playable.

I'm kinda surprised we don't. Even the 3DS had a midnight launch!

interesting question never really thought about that. I wonder if you could.

I don't really expect the Warehouse to open at 12am etc for it - but EB...... a specialist game store that is supposed to 'care' about us gamer customers not giving a shit about the Wii U is just the icing on the shit cake of reasons for me not shopping there.
They say 'SAVE MONEY WHEN YOU TRADE IN YOUR WII FOR WII U' and I'm like you know how else I can save money and still keep my Wii? Buying it somewhere else.
Pretty much my thoughts!
I'm dreading going in there soon to get my preorder deposit back. I know they will be dicks about it. I've got a plan though. I'll report back with the douchebaggery rating... Lol...

Tape on the console box or the games? My console had a seal on it, and the games were all in plastic (including Nintendoland inside the box).
No online play of any kind until you patch.
Haha well initially I was just gonna say I'm getting one as a present so don't need it, but I'm going in with my partner and we will both be cancelling and I know they will be super pissed hahaha...
Might just tell them the truth, they have no bundles so I'm buying elsewhere!

Awesome. I got the same one and found it pretty easy to apply, too. I did end up with a couple specs of dust near the top but other than that it looks great.

I have a Sony something or other (40" edge-lit-LED LCD with 3D), I've run a couple of my old VC games with no problems. If I remember right, back in the day there were issues running NeoGeo games on the VC with some HDTV's when using component, that required using a special interlace mode, but I don't remember exactly what that was about or if it was ever fixed or still exists.
Edit:
Yeah, mine's a Bravia. I've tested it with NES and Turbografx-16 games, they work fine (though if you want them to look right, you have to adjust your TV's widescreen mode so they aren't stretched to widescreen).

I never asked but I just assumed they wouldn't price match, they try any possible reason to weasel out of it I honestly couldn't even be bothered trying.
They only have themselves to blame. The fact is there are much better deals elsewhere, you can't make ZERO effort and expect people to happily throw away $100ish (free Mario etc) by purchasing it from them.
Shit. I made the mistake of checking the online stock tool for EBGames. Wii U deluxe system in stock at my local store. Then I made the further mistake of calling to see if this was true. Then I continued the idiocy by driving there and handing over my credit card. $463 for the system and NSMB.
Now, let's see if I am dumb enough to open the seal, rendering me unable to return anything.

Whatever you do, don't hook up a hard drive to it and check out the e-Store - it's SOOO easy to buy more games for it, no need to go to the store!
Cool, thx all. Yeah, the console itself had a seal when I checked it out (Plastic wrapping, green tape, etc.). Was just a bit weird when I didn't see tape sealing on both sides of the Wii U box when opening it.
It's been a while since I bought a console, can't recall if any of them do that anymore (360/PS3/Wii).

so NSMBU has finally shipped
the WIIU has not
seriously you guys are scarring me
the EU hype is too strong
Pretty much. Well I just got back and I actually did feel a bit bad cos it was a dude we know and he immediately was gonna get on the phone to see if he could match another store. But my order has already been charged and shipped. So yeh there are some good people at EB I guess. I was fearing that we'd get this younger d-bag who had jeered at us this one time because my partner was carrying a JB Hifi bag (we'd just bought some blurays). Sigh...
My understanding of their price matching is that they will only do it a) on the day, b) only if its in stock somewhere else, and c) only if that is a brick and mortar store, and d) it has to be within like 5km or something. It might not be that exactly but it's something like that, so I just couldn't be bothered risking it even if I wanted to give my money to EB. That and I'd have to pay $10+ to bus into the city to pick it up...
