    Look's like it'll be one of the big supermarket chain's which will be the safest bet as curry's/Comet seem to be going through a rough patch,Gamestation will cease to exist before Christmas as the local manager of Game who is a good friend on mine has told me.

    Several retailers have gone live with their own Wii U price tags. Both retailers is currently taking pre-orders for all three SKUs: the Basic, the Premium and the special ZombiU pack. Tesco is asking for £249 for Basic, £329 for the ZombiU bundle and £299 for the Premium model. This is inline with estimates based on trade prices revealed by high-end retail sources, which we reported on earlier. Amazon was offering lower prices, but has since bumped them up to £250 for the Basic SKU and £285 for the Premium. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to offering the ZombiU bundle at the time of writing. Similarly, ShopTo has opted for a Basic price of £247.85, a Premium price of £279.85. GAME has gone slightly higher at £259.99 (Basic), £309.99 (Premium) and £349.99 (ZombiU). The specialist is asking for a £20 deposit for each. But it's SimplyGames that currently has the lowest prices, offering the Premium pack for a low £249.99 and the Basic pack for £209.99.

    £299 Premium model with ZombiU

    EDIT: Same price at the Hut
    http://www.thehut.com/10639054.html

    Almost positive they are both the same company anyway....

    Game/Gamestation will be doing a £50 extra on console trade ins against it. Cant tell you which consoles cos am off work for a week.

    Gamestation is just being kinda re-branded so isnt going anywhere and neither is Game.

    If you want to get it from anywhere do it soon though as most places will run out really quickly.
    Beware the quiet ones, they often carry the biggest guns.

    Managed to pre-order the Wii U Black Premium 32GB console from Amazon for only £199.99. I had pre-ordered it back in June at this price, and after speaking to a senior supervisor from customer relations, they honoured the earlier pricing and she discounted my order while I was placing it and sent me a nice apologetic email too. They have done this for other people who pre-ordered in June too, but if you haven't then they obviously cant help you.

    But nonetheless it was great service as usual from Amazon. Absolute bargain for £199.99. Cheaper than my Vita pre-order. Will sell my 360 and keep this and my PS3 until the other next-gen consoles come out.
