Today's the last day to claim the free game right?

No. July 31st, so you've got another full month.

 

[kangle4]

Do you have to have the game downloaded by than or just claimed the code?

Pretty sure it was just the claiming of the code. Might have another month or two in top of that to download it.

I've claimed my code but don't won't to download the game yet so hopefully that can be done anytime.

Has anyone hooked up an external HD? Which one's should I be looking at?

I bought this: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/seagate-2tb-expansion-desktop-hard-drive-sgbv2000gb

Plugged it in and was playing in 5min.

Thanks. I will only be able to use this for the Wii U correct? I can't put any other files on it?

You must format the drive when you connect it to the Wii U, so all files are deleted.

You can use any powered external HDD. I just hooked up a spare 500GB I had lying around that I was happy to wipe. I highly doubt you'll get anywhere near filling 2TB.

Yeah, unfortunately the Officeworks near me only had 2TB as the smallest available.

Couldn't be bothered shopping round and for $90 wasn't complaining.

I've only just found out that I can use the MK8 codes by making new club nintendo accs. Theyre going for $30 on eBay so in going to buy a few and throw them on a HD.

Some Kmarts have been selling the Mario kart 8 premium bundle for $179.

By the looks of things it is a directive from head office and the Skylanders bundle needs to have been sold out in store to get that price. The store also needs to have stock of the premium bundle too.

A guy on another forum went to get this and they told him it's not happening.

If you're heading to Oz Comic Con in Melbourne this weekend both Smash Bros Wii U/3DS and Hyrule Warriors will be playable there.

Do you prefer 2D platformers or JRPGs?

I picked up a Skylanders bundle yesterday. Haven't had a chance to play the console yet though.

Any must have games? Zombi U always interested me

Personally a huge fan of Monster Hunter, Wind Waker and Mario 3d World are popular choices, Mario Kart if you don't already have it.

Mario Kart 8 and you get a choice of a free download of another game.

But must be before 31st July.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Anyone know if EB will be getting more of the Basic model with MK8?

 

[Mister Carlton]

Picked up Super Mario World. Well worth the purchase.
