Without a doubt, this year's hot holiday item is the Nintendo Wii U. It's selling out everywhere. That means that we're starting to see shoppers scramble to store shelves, while others are trying to sell Nintendo's new console for well above the MSRP.
Instead of trying to scavenge for Nintendo's latest and greatest gaming device, you can just order one today from GameStop. There's no crazy markup for getting one, either. Imagine that?
We found the retailer selling the Wii U online for the manufacturer's MSRP -- and it's actually in stock. However, as a little incentive, GameStop is offering to ship the Wii U absolutely free if you buy the console along with one Wii U game. Find out more about the Wii U on GameStop:
Nintendo just started selling the Wii U and it's already selling out everywhere. That's because it combines a portable device with console gameplay, which can deliver content on a big screen up to 1080p.
That portable controller is the Wii U GamePad, and it's about to change gaming as we know it. Play games right on the device, mirror your gameplay to the big screen, or just use the controller to find and play video content. Find out more about the Wii U in Nintendo Says Game On With Wii U.
GameStop currently has four Wii U options available. The least expensive is the Nintendo Wii U 8GB Basic Set, which has an MSRP of $299.99 and comes with a white Wii U console that has 8GB of internal storage, one white GamePad controller, AC adapters for both the console and controller, a sensor bar and an HDMI cable. The most expensive option is the $549.95 black Wii U Deluxe Set, which has a lot of the same elements, as well as 32GB of internal storage, a console stand, a GamePad charging cradle, and a stand that holds the GamePad vertically on a table. It also comes with a skin and a screen protector, Super Mario Bros. New U, ZombiU, and Scribblenauts Unlimited.
If you're looking for other games to play, the Wii U is compatible with all of your Wii favorites. However, there are plenty of new ones -- ones that are elligible for this offer. We found GameStop selling titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Madden NFL 13, the Skylander's Giants Starter Pack, and so much more. Check out all of the Wii U bundles and games elligible for this offer on GameStop:
At last peek, GameStop had all of the available Wii U bundles in stock and ready ship. However, we're seeing this system go pretty fast. Better snag yours before the retailer runs out of stock!
