I'm honestly in no rush. Heck, the system I've gotten the most games for of late is the PS2. I'm in no hurry for any new systems. :p

I really want to get one at launch, but I'm a college kid with rent to pay; I'm not sure I'll be able to afford it then. If I don't get it at launch, I'll definitely be getting one as soon as possible. The 3DS was the first system I actually got on the release day, and it was SUCH an amazing feeling; I'd love to repeat that with the Wii U.

I'll be camping outside and getting one on launch.

I'll then turn around and chuck it on ebay.

I'm really concerned about the price....I find it really odd that Nintendo has not announced a price for it yet...Theres no way that thing could possibly be sold at a reasonable price, I could see that controller alone selling for at least $120, especially considering that a Wii mote can cost $40.

Well, from what they said there should be no reason to buy extra tablet controllers unless you break yours. I can also see them taking a smaller margin with the tablet controller. I mean, we all know the Wii Remote costs maybe $2 to make.

I have also heard that but still the initial cost of the thing is definitely gonna be way higher than the Wii was at launch.

I'm still betting on $60 Utablets and $300 entry price. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see $80+ and $350.

Personally, I predict a lower/equal console price and a higher controller price.

In terms of UK, where it's always higher, I'd say £250 and £70. I sincerely hope to be proven wrong on that though.

I suppose I'm being a bit hopeful for the controller price, considering the Wiimotes. But I guess we won't know until E3.
