US retail emporium Best Buy has begun discounting the Wii U 8GB Basic Set presumably because the Deluxe is getting more love from consumers. You can now pick up a 8GB Basic Wii U system with Nintendo Land for $299.99 on the Best Buy website. I’m not sure whether the offer is replicated in stores, so you will need to check.
That’s a good deal. I will still go for the Deluxe set.
Wasn’t that its original price, with the Deluxe being 349.99?
i agree, wasn’t this the original price?
I think it is because it comes with Nintendoland now. The original was just the Wii U and controller and NO game for $299.99 right???
Yes, you’re right. You now get a free copy of Nintendo Land with this deal.
Just when I bought the Deluxe Wii U from the same exact store(hits nearest thing with foot)
Nintendo Land comes free with the Basic Set according to Best Buy, so you’re basically saving 59.99.
Deluxe is still preferred for most people due to its colour, storage, accessories and DDP, though.
I’d still go for the deluxe, more memory and it’s in black :D
But I want white sister to my Wii
Indeed it is, but with one game: Nintendo Land in the Package
Ehhh, i still prefer the deluxe because it has the deluxe digital promotion.
Now THIS is the way it should have always been. Makes people look even dumber for preferring the Deluxe set. just because of the extra memory etc. Who cares about the memory when you can just use an external hard drive, or a piece of plastic that holds the console (or game pad) up?
But unfortunately, by the time I finally buy a Wii U (when Pikmin 3 comes out), this offer probably won’t exist anymore.
why do people forget about a premium promotion when when you get paid 5 bucks to download a 60 dollar game?
I don’t care about downloaded games. I’m one of those “physical copy or nothing” gamers. So that premium promotion doesn’t interest me in the least bit.
What about indie games.. that at download online…?
Oh for the love of god!
What if it has less storage?! buy a frickin hard drive storage or ask that for christmas (even though it passed already) and the accessories are not really that necessary! What if is white? White is a good color!
For god’s sake, guys, not to be mean but whoever doesn’t have a Wii U, get this offer at best buy because is freaking worth it!
I WOULD get it if I had the money. But Christmas took all of the money I had saved for the Wii U. I’m very annoyed.
I like the white one……no finger prints all the place. I agree great deal plus you can buy a HD later.
That 10% offer is kinda dumb. You can wait for physical games to buy them when on sale. I just got 6 Wii U games for the price of 4. Buy 2 get 1 free ^_^
Where?!
I though it was buy two get 1 50% off.
ToyRus had buy 1 get 1 50% off but Target had buy 2 get 1 free. It was right before Christmas.
Its not dumb for games that are sold exclusively to the game store. :)
true that… but you kinda have to ask yourself if that’s really worth it .. and how many games are eventually gonna end up exclusively on that store within 1 year that you want to buy
and these titles are usually in between 10-20$ anyway… so 10% off isn’t gonna do much
at that rate you’d have to buy 34 games within the first year on the eshop to offset the 50$ you paid extra
