According to Nintendo, consumers who purchase the Wii U Deluxe Set will be enrolled in the Deluxe Digital Promotion, which lets Wii U owners receive points for each digital download and redeem those points for future downloadable content from the Nintendo eShop. Nintendo product manager Bill Trinen has confirmed there is no other way to enroll in the promotion as it is tied to the Wii U Deluxe Set. Note, however, the promotion is currently planned through 2014.
Will there be any way to gain access to some of the Deluxe Digital Promotion stuff that’s included in the Deluxe set outside of that? Will there be any way to do that?
“No, that’s tied directly to the Deluxe set… When you’re purchasing digital content, what that does is it gets you credit back that you can then build up and use to purchase additional digital content. That’s the idea behind the promotion.”
-Bill Trinen, Nintendo product manager
Well ok… this was no surprise. I would have been first to tell you.
Awesome, way to rub it in more that they’re sold out. :'(
Only at a few places. Check Target or Wal-Mart.
I read somewhere last night that they are sold out at:
GameStop
Best Buy
Target
K-Mart
Toys R Us
There was somewhere else as well, but I don’t recall what that place was. It may have been Wal*Mart, but I don’t think so. That said, this is just the consoles they’ll have on the first day. Hopefully, they’ll have more by Black Friday (the 23rd). Also, this deal goes through 2014 I believe.
I went on saturday to Best Buy and they still had them even though this site said they were sold out. I reserved mine that day. (Portland, Or)
i live in kennewick , wa and same happened to me
Really? Interesting.
Same for me in St Paul MN.
I’m cool with this.
Already pre-ordered 2 Wii U deluxe set and its already solded out in my galaxy this is going to be big.
Together Wii U.
A collector I suppose? I don’t see any other reason to buy 2. Even as a sort-of collector spending this much at once is out of my way. XD
Or reselling 1 of them on Ebay 2 weeks before christmas.
Or right now. Listing can be seen on eBay for $900 upwards just for the pre order
You selfish, good idea-forming bastard. I should do the same! If I had enough moneys…
Good thing I got mine. XD
Friends in the New York City area, the Nintendo World Store still has Wii U Deluxe sets for pre-order! I don’t know for how long so get on it!
Yep your correct, went there today actually and they said they are still accepting, didnt preorder as i alread had one at my local gamestop(i live almost 2 hours away from city), putting down $50 for a second “backup” preorder would hurt the bare funds i have to afford the Wii U, still considering it though if i ever go back to city before launch and if im lucky enough to still get a preorder. all i know is that this is goig to be a nightmare like the Wii, i had to wait 8 hours total on line to get one (at nintendo world), so that defaintly tought me to preorder so not to suffer that kind of pain, if you end up not geting the preorder or something, dont worry nintendo world will have plently availbe, even at Wii launch they had tons for the entire launch week, so dont worry if you got there you will get one :),
sorry for the super long post…
he is correct i pre-ordered my deluxe from nintendo world store yesterday and they said they have plenty of pre-order tickets left
I believe that’s a bad move, excluding those who buy the basic version now.
not really you get what you pay for.
Nah that’s not a bad move, a bad move is keeping the people with the basic bundle from being able from getting a necessity such as the AC adapter for the gamepad
Ignore this either I’m retarded or they changed the bundle (most likely I’m retarded)
uh, i dont know. they could have extended it for a few weeks that both models get it because its gonna be EXTREMELY difficult to get a wii u considering how fast these retailers are selling out. some people and most are settling for the white models.
Is this thing going to end sometime or will I have this indefinitely for as long as I have my Wii U?
it ends december 2014.
I think that’s when they stop including it in the bundle though, but I don’t know for sure.
I just checked on nintendo.com to make sure. the Deluxe Digital Promotion is ”currently planned through 2014”.
Ok, guess I understood it wrong.
I kinda got confused too. I hope they make another promotion after it ends. I’d like to have some discounts and advantages on online purchases since I buy many games especially indie and classics.
I hope there will be Deluxe Sets in my country.
I hope this works well like Club Nintendo and isn’t a gimmick like Gamestop’s Power Up Rewards crap.
Hey, I use PowerUpRewards.
I used it too. It feels like you have to buy like, 1000 games just to get a $20 coupon. T__T
same here, but mine end in 2013.
Will there be deluxe bundles sold in stores? I really hope they don’t run out. Preorders are sold out at some retailers.
Go to Best Buy. I went there today and pre-ordered mine.
I thought Best Buy was all out?
thats online
So I guess they won’t offer any Wii U games for Club Nintendo coins? I hope they continue to support the Wii eshop then.
Are the deluxe sets limited? Are they going to stop selling them? Please reply!
As far as i know they are sold-out almost everywhere. Check Wal-Mart.
it’s not a limited edition, they will continue selling it after launch.
I hate how gamestop stopped taking pre-orders
Well they’re not going to take Preorders for console quantities they won’t be getting.
Glad I pre-ordered so I can say AAAWWW YEEAAAHHH!!!!!
Oh, come on. This Tyler hasn’t even pre-ordered yet! GOD DANGIT! CURSE YOU GAMESTOP AND BEST BUY!
There’s still something I don’t understand though. Everyone just assumes that the Wii U is selling out like hotcakes but it could also be that Nintendo is short-handed. I wish I could see some real figures of how many Wii U’s have actually been pre-ordered.
nope not nintendo you local retailer like gamestop holds the pre-order tickets and say its sold out to make there own bundles out the remaining wii-u’s deluxe and rape your pockets they did that when wii came out in 2006. i remember gamestop said sold out but was selling there own wii gamestop bundles for like $400 and it looks like there doing it again
and for some people at that time that was the only way to get one
I am just going to wait until it comes out, or at least I have enough money to spend. Promo is no biggy for me.
so… is that like an xbox live gold thing or something?
The Wii U’s online is a free service. All the deluxe package is going to do is add points for every digital game you buy to where you can eventually get a free game. So depending on how many digital games you buy this deal will pay itself off. Make sense?
That’s stupid. Out of all the times I’ve praised Nintendo, this one of those rare moments where I say this is a stupid decision.
What exactly makes this a “stupid decision”? If a person pays the additional $50 (here in the US), then they are eligible for more than just the NintedoLand hardcopy and/or the extra 24 GB of memory and/or the black color; they are also eligible for a promotion, as well! Nothing is stupid about that, it’s simply a marketing tool to not only sell more units, but offer more incentive to spending just a bit more for the system. That is business.
All sold out where I live, so I went and pre-ordered an escort instead. Probably look into getting a WiiU in March with MH3U.
It’d be helpful if they make more Deluxe sets available!
Make it happen, gaming gods!
Hmm, its not better than PSN plus, because with that you get free games ect, but obviously theyre not going to do that straight away, all the free Plus games are from years back, but i hope the WiiU has a membeeship like that, id invest in it
I hope so! I’d pay for free games, discounts and exclusives as I do on PSN.
you’ll pay for free games……. what? its not free! if your paying!
hey dragon234 games are not free if your paying for the service once you stop paying for psn plus all those so called free games are gone. so its not really free is it
thats sony yoy pay for service nintendo service is free service
I am definitely getting the Deluxe edition, if I can.
Now THAT is the sweetest deal ever! I’m buying the Wii U Deluxe Edition!!!!!
FUCK YEAH!

This
I would like to apologize publicly for my super long comment. I just…CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT! CAN’T WAIT!
I heard.
The promotion gives you a 10% discount on downloadable games, right? If that’s true I wonder if that includes retail games available for download, you know, since Wii U will feature full games in downloadable form. If so, then the premium bundle is definitely the way to go. Think about it, 10% major games till 2014? Those savings start adding up. Only downside is that you would have to buy a pretty big hard-drive.
Remember Wii U deluxe edition is 32Gb not 8 like the basic. IMO this is a steal but I’m curious as to where you heard that there is a 10% discount on downloadable games. That’s awesome if it is true.
I thought i read that on this site. However I might have been mistaken, as I can’t remember seeing the 10% off claim enywhere else. I’ll have to double check to see if it’s correct.
It’s what this article is about. If you get the Deluxe set you get included in a program sort of like the Ambassador program for 3DS, where 10% of funds spent on digital purchases get returned to you (basically 10% off). If this includes retail releases, it could be a great investment.
Indeed, that could be why Nintendo is doing it, to try to increase digital sales of retail titles.
Good thing I ordered mine at Toys-R-Us while they were available! November 18th can’t come soon enough!
