Rumor: Wii U Details

[Demon_Skeith]

While we’ve heard multiple reports in the past that suggest Nintendo’s console will arrive in North America on November 18, today’s listing suggests it’ll actually be on November 11.

That's according to a listing spotted on Video Product Distributors, which is a distribution company that supplies Amazon, Blockbuster and Overstock.
According to an entry on the site, the Wii U will become available in North America on November 11. Three SKUs are listed:

• WIIU SYSTEM - GM - 11/11/12 $249.99
• WIIU SYSTEM W/ - GM - 11/11/12 $299.99
• WIIU SYSTEM 349 W/ - GM - 11/11/12 $349.99

While we don't know precisely what each one involves, presumably the $299.99 and $349.99 versions will contain either some extra games or other peripherals like an additional GamePad to justify the beefed up price. To see the entry you'd normally need a trade login, but thankfully a YouTube user has recorded a shot of the page that reveals all.

Looks like Nintendo has been keeping somethings under lock and key. Shocking, but a rather good move.

349 with GM? What? Anyways, if it really is $250, that's a nice price.

pending on what those other two packages are, I'm shooting for the $250 one.

My uncle said if I get straight A's this semester, he'd get me a Wii U. Really hope I get straight A's. xD

Lucky you, I shoot for A's as well.

I never get anything for straight A's, except once when my uncle's friend said he'd get me a PS3 if I got straight A's in 6th grade. Best day of my life when I saw that report card. xD
