Re: Wii U said by captokita:So the "Basic" version, has 8GB memory, and comes with the console, controller, HDMI cable, sensor bar, and AC Adapter. $299
The "Deluxe" version has 32GB memory, and comes with the console, controller, HDMI cable, sensor bar, AC adapter, and gamepad charging cradle. (seriously? This should be included in BOTH versions!), a stand for everything, and a copy of Nintendo Land. $349.
So obviously, the $50 more is a far better deal.
Will I get it? Don't know, Nintendo does a good job making games fun to play, and that's what they're going for again here. Time will tell how well it will do. I'm sure it will sell well at launch, and they will likely have limited numbers at launch to drive the demand for it further.
Oh, and it releases on 11/18.

As I said FAIL. 8 GB? Hell 32 GB? That's not enough space for storage. Unless you're a Mario or Zelda fan I guess other than that it's fail. For $250 I can get a PS3 with 160 GB. Oh and it plays blu-rays. | | |

kudos:1 | The storage doesn't matter that much. It is just like the Wii. the storage is only for save games and settings. "Wii U uses an internal flash memory (8 GB with the Basic Set; 32 GB with the Deluxe Set) for data storage. It also supports SDHC memory cards and external USB storage." | |

ever hear of DLC? Yes SDHC and extrenal storage. And that costs extra you know. So in reality by the time the average family buys a second contoller an adequate storage you're talking $500 for this thing. | |

Oh and it plays blu-rays. Remember when the PS3 launched and the 20 gig model was $500? The 60 gig was more. The 32 gig Wii U model is $350. You're comparing a console that's launched multiple versions over many years now and is near the end of its lifecycle to a console that's brand new. Imagine how much a 160 gb version of the PS3 would have cost you if they had launched with one.
The original 20 gig version of the Xbox 360 sold for $400, while the cheaper $300 version didn't even *HAVE* a hard drive. Microsoft is now selling a 4 gig version of their console, which is only half the size of the cheapest Wii U. My current 360 has a 20 gig hard drive, which I've noticed is making some awesome noises lately and has me paranoid about backing up my games. It can take USB memory, but only up to 16 gigs (unless something's changed) so I'd need multiple devices to get to the 32 gig capacity of the new Wii U or I'd need to cough up for a new hard drive.
I'm not impressed with the fact that the PS3 is still $250 almost six years after launch, either. I'd gladly take a 20 gig PS3 model for $150 or $200 over the ginormous hard drive I'd never use. Some of us don't want or need downloadable games/content. If I want that, I'll play my PC games. I just need enough space to save my games.
Until we know what the next generation of the Playstation and the Xbox will have in terms of specs, it's a pointless argument anyway. I saw rumors tonight that Sony is considering launching yet another iteration of the PS3 in October to compete with the Wii U. It's rumored to move to 12 gigs of internal flash rather than a hard drive. Are you planning to flame them for the small size they're going to be offering? Or is that okay because it's Sony?
