You may want to jump on this deal as quickly as possible, Nintendo’s new Wii U console is back in stock at GameStop. No telling when they will sell out again so go get it fast.
The White Basic set has been in and out of stock for the last two-weeks at GameStop, though the Deluxe set has been sold out everywhere for weeks. No telling when the stock will last, so we suggest that if you have been looking for either the White Wii U set or the Black Wii U set that you head over GameStop and add yours to the cart as quickly as possible.
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.

At this point in time If I didn't own a PS5 I would have done this in a heartbeat but I had already acquired a PS5 first before I acquired an XBSX.
I'll stick to keeping both. Gamestop though... seems kind of desperate to take in Series X units. What could they be plotting???
I just want some games for my series X I have both since release and after weighing the offerings in PS Essentials to Gamepass I quickly realized I Owned anything of worth in both catalogs. And, the things I didn't I didn't see as justifiable for maintaining both subs.
Since then my series X is a legacy machine that I play my old games on and that's it. 3 years ago I really thought from that Xbox showcase we were going to have some great games by now. Instead, it's just been a lot of meh
GameStop’s chief financial officer is resigning, in the latest of several executive departures from the video game retailer.
took long enough, but now i have deluxe of my own.
How has it been out of stock for 2 weeks if the system has only been out a week. Prior to the release it was in stock, but not sell-able to the masses. Unless the writer is talking about preorders?
The deluxe is the best one to go with for the extra 50 dollars.
Is this in store or online. GameStop online is a joke and anybody that worked for GameStop knows that. It runs off the same in stock computer system as the stores. Just because it said they are in stock on the website means it found some in a GameStop store and it assumes it is not already sold. I was going to pre order a game from GameStop.com and the local manager told me the odds of preordering from the website and actually getting were almost none existant because they prioritize in store customers first... So if they sold out of pre ordered copy's at launch I would have had to wait for a restock even though I pre ordered lol.
This isn't exactly true. The system is available to order online, but if you look at the details directly listed under "Add To Cart," it says "Backordered." This means that you can purchase the system in full, but you won't actually receive the system until GameStop has access to them, which is an indefinite amount of time. The same thing happened with the Wii, where people would order the system online but were told it could be a few months before they actually received it.
Wii U seems like it has its uniqueness but ill wait and see how things play out with it. This gen ill be a wise prudent and not jump to conclusions by rushing in getting a console. Ill wait and witness what the juggernauts have to offer first then ill make my choice....
