Not sure if there is much cheaper than this for the premium.

Awesome, thanks!!!

 

[Probitas_]

Buying a Wii U tomorrow.

What is the best deal at the moment?

Or if you want the basic this is an insanely good deal.

I'd get it quick if I were you. I got it a couple of weeks ago so it's probably ending soon. Also, you can get a 2TB Seagate HDD from Big W for 98 dollars which I got. Works well. Just make sure you get a HDD with an external power source, otherwise it won't work (I learnt that the hard way )
EDIT: This is the HDD I got https://www.bigw.com.au/electronics...0816/seagate-expansion-2tb-desktop-hard-drive

Grab the deal from EB, $279.

Grab the deal from EB, $279.

I can't find that deal on their website all I can find is the mario kart premium pack for 429 or a pre owned basic pack for 248.

Does that deal include Mario Kart as well?

Damn, they must've finished the deal or maybe sold out? It came with Mario Kart and Skylanders.

I got that (purchased last friday) on Tuesday. Still need to trade in Skylanders for something else though.

Yeah sold out everywhere...

 

[doggies ftw]

Wii Us picking up steam, will be hilarious watching EA come crawling back.

 

[Bonz]

Got one

Decided to buy the $420 Bundle with Mario Kart.

Downloading Wind Waker as we speak!!!

That's not gonna be happening.

 

[Bonz]

That's not gonna be happening.

Can't see it happening either, EA would have to hire an entire development team to work on just the Wii U.

Nintendo don't have a large enough support base at the moment for EA to come crawling back.

 

[doggies ftw]

That's not gonna be happening.

I reckon it will eventually, not for their BFs, Star wars, and other big games. But they will want to be getting their casual/'kiddy' games on the Wii U for sure, when it picks up which it will. Hope Nintendo tell them to **** off

 

[The Speaker]

EA doesn't crawl.

They stride with great certainty wherever they go, regardless of the direction.

Why so sour, EA aren't the only ones not supporting the Wii U, Nintendo console just don't sell third party games warrant constant support.

You should have jumped on when MK8 was released, $358 at Big W

Regarding EA, makes no difference to me, I have zero interest in their games.

 

[TheKanga]

Ubisoft seems to still be on board though.
Watch_Dogs is still coming out for Wii U

 

[The Big Sauce]

EA at one point withheld their games from Xbox Live in the PS2 era. They were all online on PS2 only.

Eventually EA came to Microsoft's party and has been pretty successful ever since. EA goes where there is money, if there is enough money to be made on Wii U they'll come back and so will everyone else.

 

[pantskyle]

Ok Nintenhoes.

Really thinking about buying a Wii U now instead of a XBONE (will still get this eventually).

My only real concern in the controller tablet thingy, I hate it, never used it but just hate it. Is there a Wii U controller available that is a proper controller that works with all the games?

Yes, Pro Controller.

Edit : The main controller is very comfortable, I was dubious at first but I haven't been bothered by it at all.

Grab one now if you're definitely getting a machine, cheap.

Go this one instead, you're going to buy MK8 anyway.
