It's live.

 

[Hilti92]

Was just in EB Games and was buying Black Ops 2 for my PS3 and the couple beside me were told that they are very sorry but they cannot get their Deluxe edition day 1 due to a lack in shipment and because of this problem, the couple will be moved to the top of the wait list for it. Wonder how many people they've told that to. Can`t believe that shit.

 

[majik13]

Fuck, on that buy 2 get 1. Has that ever happened at launch for a console? I wanted to make things Digital only this generation but I won't be able to resist. Between these types of deals and bargain bins, I may just need to adopt a blended philosophy.

Can't decide on a few things. Getting a deluxe, Nintendoland. Pretty sure I'll double dip on Batman and pick up ZombieU and NSMBU. Then, what would be next? COD, ACIII, Epic Mickey? Damn, this launch is stacked.

I like COD somewhat but don't do multiplayer (i know, sounds stupid but I like FPS) and not thrilled about the gameplay. Never played Assassin's Creed and think it might be time to jump in. Still have Epic Mickey 1 in the wrapper but get excited about those disney characters. I might get excited and buy 6 games. Any reccs on those 3 games?

That buy 2 get 1 40% off is only for games 49.99 and below right? That excludes a lot of wiiu games. or is there a different deal somewhere?

 

[bobbychalkers]

I kinda regret not preordering, I'm on 2 different gamestop's waiting list but who knows how long that could take. Are stores only getting enough to cover preorders or should I be able to walk in and buy one? I'm gonna attempt picking one up on Sunday morning at Best Buy.

 

[rakka]

Admit it, it's not a gift for her, it's a gift for yourself.

Get her ZombiU.

well im not saying I won't play the thing, but most of the games or at least what Im aware of don't really interest me.

at the moment she mostly just plays splitscreen halo matchmaking with me so i suppose a first person zombie game might work.

will it play DVDs?

Is this a Blues Clues live stream?

 

[MicH]

The Wii U menu music is so relaxing. Really liking it.

[shadyspace]

Think going to a 24hr Walmart at midnight tomorrow is a good idea?

 

[JFunky]

I preordered online for in store pickup from Best Buy back on 9/14, and I am thoroughly convinced I'm going to be screwed somehow.

Anyone with me?

I have that same feeling about my in store pickup order. They never seem to actually set aside my stuff for pickup even though I always wait until I get the email saying its ready to be picked up. Hopefully they won't screw me on this one.

 

[Dartastic]

I need to go buy some twinkies. Rip, twinkies.

 

[Community Forum]

Ahahaha this live stream just turned into an infomercial.

 

[majik13]

so has anybodies NewEgg games ship yet? Mine havent changed.

 

[TriGen]

Okay so I guess I have 3 options.

-Use the credit on the white model that they have available and use it as a family machine. Later get a black model for myself once a few price drops come.
-Wait 2-3 months for my local store to get a black model in. Use credit on that.
-Use my store credit on games/pro controllers and go searching for a black model on launch (probably a 1% chance of this working out).

Recommendations anyone?


Thanks.

I'd still try and find a deluxe. I think it can be done if you're committed to trying multiple stores early.

This same thing happened to me with the 360. I was assured GS would get the premium, they didn't. When I turned the console down the manager assured me I'd screwed myself, I said I would get one. The next day I had four premiums (thanks to Kmart) on launch day for everyone. The major retailers should have some set aside for walk-ins (Wal-Mart told me they in fact did). And since it doesn't seem like we are seeing a bunch of people camping out like in other years, I think getting to every store within the first hour of opening gives you a chance. I have faith!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this is a talk show I guess they are still not allowed to show anything?

 

[shadyspace]

app store amirite lolz

 

[dkeane]

Already turned the steam off. Where those dudes on crank or something? Looked and acted really fucked up.

 

[KillerTravis]

Really? Comparing Nintendoland to a $0.99 app? NeoGAF's hyperbole has met it's match.

 

[XenodudeX]

Stop fucking talking and show the games ffs

 

[TriniTrin]

I plan to do this then go to best buy or kmart if I don't get one. Might as well try!

 

[SteveWinwood]

This stream is trash.

I'll wait for giant bomb's on Sunday.

 

[TriGen]

These guys don't realise an iPad isn't the same thing as a GamePad. You're holding the wrong thing!

 

[A Human Becoming]

My Walmart isn't doing a midnight launch. They did for the Gamecube and Wii. Guess I'll just sleep in Sunday morning seeing as I already pre-ordered.

 

[pestul]

Gamepad distance test!

 

[XenodudeX]

That guy has like no ass

 

[Downhome]

Wow at the distance he could go...

 

[brochiller]

Seems like it reached pretty far.

 

[TriGen]

Started to breakup at 40ft. Lost at about 50ft.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Okay that was okay. Went alot further then I thought...

 

[jett]

Really? Comparing Nintendoland to a $0.99 app? NeoGAF's hyperbole has met it's match.

Comparing some of the minigames to iOS apps. Frankly something like the Balloon Fight minigame for instance really is $0.99 material.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

okay distance was good

I guess I'll go after my night shift ends on Sunday (3am). I'll check my Walmart/The Source right when they open. If they don't have any then I'll get a white unit using my credit and buy a few Wii remote plus controllers and nunchucks.

 

[brochiller]

This split screen is awful.

Seems like a sound strategy.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Hmm... system music seems to be synthesized. Was hoping for live orchestra for this stuff. Oh well.

 

[Baconsammy]

okay distance was good

If you live in a tiny house or apartment. No way will I be able to use this in bed. Not a big deal since that's what my iPad mini is for.

Lol.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

dirtiest console ever

get some gloves like me

 

[Bidermaier]

I kinda love to follow these launchs from Europe. Yes we have to wait two weeks more.. but thanks to the intergaf we feel the hype.

 

[The Elite]

System Update might not show until Sunday?

The fuck?

They really should have tested this on the press first. Hilarious.

 

[Gahiggidy]

That smudgy console makes me feel better for going with a white/basic set.

 

[AGITΩ]

:lol

That's awesome! You still the only one in line?

Nope. Someone else pitched a tent.

How big is your tent? And where are you waiting at? IS IT FREEZING THERE?

It is pretty cold. Im in georgia. Heres the pic earlier in the thread.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

so has anybodies NewEgg games ship yet? Mine havent changed.

Mine haven't either. I'm getting worried. I did so good on the deal for this but I don't want them to be cancelled.

 

[Gahiggidy]

I'm liking this OS better than what I've seen from Windows 8.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm liking this OS better than what I've seen from Windows 8.

Not saying much. Look what Microsoft has done to the 360.

So there aren't any really good deals for launch games huh? If I could get Zombi U for $40 I'd jump on it.

 

[Eusis]

Better fitting the environment most people will use it in helps a lot.

No, but paper Mario wasn't charged/shipped to me until Saturday last week. I'm expecting the same this week.
