Brera to have lost his money

I'm not proud of it, but I'll be there day one, paying the extortionate price Game are charging.

I'd probably push over a magazine rack or two after purchase to show my disgust at their gouging, but they don't have any more. Don't even have a guide rack...

 

[Aostia]

hopefully it will be available in italy for 60
euro considering that the normal price is 49

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

The Wind Waker bundle is weak, but that statue is pretty cool.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

£60? Really GAME?

 

[Verendus]

Still won't sell.

 

[klier]

Must have!

Good to be European, once again.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Still won't sell.

.


Im missing the memo here. Who is this going to sell (the console bundle) to who doesn't already own a WiiU?

£249.99 is a joke price for the Wii U in the UK.

 

[Xun]

American prices don't include tax

So? Even with tax I highly doubt it'll be anywhere near $90.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

£60? Really GAME?

It's standard practise for Game. Normally I'd pass and go for the standard edition, but I need that figure.

Like, really need it.

 

[Persona86]

I don't have a Wii U yet, but I preordered that special edition game....

Nintendo: taking advantage of fanboys.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

So, the Ganondorf figurine only availabe to Game preorders??NOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[friskykillface]

amazing, i want it

hmmmmm *rereads threads* is america getting it?


edit: didn't see the america thread, i was raging lol.

 

[Qurupeke]

For UK, not the rest of Europe.

$45 sales tax? THANKS OBAMA

 

[vgachi57]

looks like the gamestop SKU is up...

http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games...edition-ganondorf-collectible-figurine/111455

didn't the nintendo press release say $54.99 US MSRP? so gamestop is upping it to $59.99 US?

 

[Canis lupus]

What Im planning to do is to buy the WW bundle, sell the digital copy and buy the LE.

Do mainland Euro eshop codes work in the UK and vice versa?

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

For UK, not the rest of Europe.

So maybe our local provider will bring it...

 

[BGBW]

Game keeps drawing me back in…

Well guess I know what I'm ordering the moment I get home from my holidays.

 

[forknknife]

Nintendo is really out of ideas if this is the bundle they hope will start selling WiiUs. I don't think the game will do as well as the Ocarina remake, either.

As time passes it's becoming even more clear that I won't be getting a Nintendo console this generation

 

[Peagles]

£60? Really GAME?

And the worst bit is, if I import they still charge VAT even though no other fucking site in the UK does, so it ends up being pretty costly for me in New Zealand.

Added to that, they don't ever add tracking for international orders (and refuse to add it as an option even though I offered to pay more) so it's a gamble whether it'll even turn up.

I just gotta hope like fuck that EB or something gets it in here.

 

[Moobabe]

Staff discount knocks this down to £40 for me. I like it.

 

[NotLiquid]

edit: nvm.

 

[MicH]

GAME exclusive ack. Hoping Amazon DE gets it

 

[Josh7289]

Yeeeaah... I don't often buy games for the bonus crap included with them, but that is a nice figure, and it'll probably go well alongside my Figma Skyward Sword Link (different games, but similar styles).

Edit: Oh this is the Euro thread. Well that's okay!

 

[Kater]

Does anyone know the price for the WW Wii U bundle yet in Euro? If it's around 300 it would certainly be interesting to me.

Nintendo of Australia have said it isn't being brought over. So GAME it is :\

[Duster]

Like, really need it.

It's not standard practise, that Spirit Tracks special edition mentioned earlier in the thread cost £25 from GAME, I also bought a fair few PSP special editions and lots of other Nintendo games with pre-order bonuses and most were around £30 (and not more than £35).

Admittedly that Ganondorf figure seems to be of a much higher quality but I don't think that makes up for the extra £20+, especially as it seems cheapers elsewhere even when tax is taken into account.

Well fuck.

 

[ShellyDeKiller]

Damn, Why GAME?

Maybe it's because they're only remaining UK retailer who still promote Nintendo stuff? That would explain all the exclusives.

 

[boi]

The Wind Waker bundle is Nintendo's best idea for pushing the console in a long time. Many people are willing to buy a Wii U for Zelda and Nintendo is now giving them a very convenient deal. This will sell both hardware and future software. It's a great link-up.

 

[Metroid]

Still waiting for a place in Germany to finally open preorders. Any hints?

60$ via gamestop in america, online only, no pick up at store. Just got my pre order in .

 

[Amalthea]

Ganon edition pre-ordered. 95 Swiss francs! Last time I paid this much for a Zelda game was OoT in 1998.

 

[Aostia]

Nope...and still no hints neither for Italy..

I see what you did there.
If this was £50 I'd bite, £60 is a lot of money...

 

[Ashler]

Just pre-ordered mine at Game.co.uk.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

American prices don't include tax

Look at how much the standard Wind Waker HD is? US $50 so UK is £50, right? Nowhere close. A £25 upgrade is different form a $10 one.

 

[Peagles]

Briefly looked at importing from Gamestop just for the figure. Thirty dollars shipping for a sixty dollar game? No thanks. Even shitty old Game only charges five pounds to ship to NZ.

 

[lordchompy]

American prices don't include tax

Some states have tax as low as 4-5%.

 

[Aostia]

still no news about other pal markets?

 

[Wurstsemmel]

Preordered the special edition for 65 Eur + shipping at spielegrotte.de (germany).

 

[Mr-Joker]

The CE with figure is exclusive to GAME.

Damn it! I really didn't want it to be a GAME exclusive as they are overcharging for the figure and I am not paying £60 just for the figure nor am I cancelling my pre-order at Amazon.

Really disappointed in Nintendo.

 

[javac]

So yeah I bit. £55 with a few quid I had in my reward card. *Sigh* the things I do.

 

[Weilthain]

its not good enough.

I just had my WiiU stolen. Its not worth buying it again for a 10 year old Hd port and Mario 3d world (which admitadly I really want to play). They are both great games but its just not worth £250.

£150 and EVERYONE would buy.

They were £150 at Asda, you missed that opportunity. =(

Really disappointed in Nintendo.

Amazon's price is not great either. £50 for the standard edition.
I pre-ordered at shop-to. It's £40

 

[kubus]

Relax dudes, it's not gonna be GAME exclusive. The trailer for the CE was released in Dutch on the Dutch Nintendo youtube channel so it'll definitely come out in the Netherlands, at least. Maybe Game Mania exclusive, the Spirit Tracks CE was Game Mania exclusive too, iirc.

Someone just mentioned preordering this from a german site so there's that, too.

Maybe not all areas will be covered but I suggest wait it out a bit and see where preorders will pop up.

 

[RetroGreg]

Nintendo should do something like this for every big release. I bet they'd sell really well.
