GameStop Giving Away Five Wii U Consoles Before Launch

Those of you that would like a Wii U before the console’s official launch on November 18th can do so by entering a competition courtesy of GameStop. To be eligible all you need to do is snap a photo showing them why you want a Wii U by using your arms, body, or friends, to create a U shape. You could be one of five lucky winners to get a Wii U party before launch day and a Wii U prize pack consisting of a Wii U, eight Wii U video games, four Wii Remote controllers, two Nunchuk controllers, a Wii U Pro Controller and an HD TV. You can enter the competition here.

Thanks, Simply G

            Wow. Why don’t you get some friends together and a “U” out of your wiiwiis? It’ll beat your usual sword fight, and it’s obvious you you have no real women in your life.

    1. Entries are randomly drawn anyways (and there’s a method without submitting a picture for whatever reason which still has equal chance of winnings among those who did submit) (and yes I read through the giant paragraph of rules)

    1. I’m going to take a crack at it, and I’ll send the pic to everyone on my 3DS friend rooster as well. :D

        1. I’ve got 4 tattoos, but non on my ass. I have something already cooked up. I won’t be submitting it until a few days before the end to prevent copy-cats. ;-)

          Although the drawing is “random,” I’m counting on a company like gamestop cheating, and picking at least one great pic to draw attention to them. :p

    2. It would be cool. I never win anything, so I know it wont be me.

      I’m getting a Wii U anyway, so I suppose it will be better for someone who can’t get one. =p

      1. Yeah, I was thinking of entering and then selling the Wii U if I won (not for an insane price, maybe $380-$400). But then I thought the same as you that it would be better if someone who doesn’t have a pre-order won.

        1. I’ve won a few times at Texas hold em tournament in my local PUB/bar :P .
          Cannot recall winning any meaningfull competition though :S

    1. The Only Pokemon Champion

      This
      Considering we have EB Game which is one of the subsidaries of Gamestop, as well as Gamestop, we should also be included in this competition

  1. 5 wii u consoles?? Wow gamestop you are so generous, you know, since you dont make that much money from ripping people off every single day, so yeah five consoles that is a massive number :D

  2. Meh even though I’d like to compete, I’ve already got my WiiU reserved and a few games in mind which is all I need. Maybe an additional Wii plus controller and an HD Tv, but I can get those in time. I’m passin this knowledege to my friend who wants one

  3. The winner will be a chick creating a u shape with her hand, by putting her fingers in her vagina and thumb up her butt.

  4. “a Wii U prize pack consisting of a Wii U, eight Wii U video games, four Wii Remote controllers, two Nunchuk controllers, a Wii U Pro Controller and an HD TV”

    Jeez.

      1. man i sort of want to enter based off the highly unlikely chance that i win by some miracle

        but i’m sort of shy when it comes to taking pictures of myself D:

        1. ”ergianerogabebgrea” hahah is that a psycho bob reference XD . I was like what the hell has he written there ??? Then I got an image of psycho bob being smacked in the face with a rake XD!!!

  6. I think its a bit unfair that I can’t enter this competition because I live in UK. I’m sat on my bed in hospital waiting to have another operation in the morning! How cool it would of been if I had entered and won one before the launch! Well all the best to those who can enter :@) Good Luck Everyone :@)
