Amazon. com Won’t Have Wii U For Pre-Order

The ongoing tiff between Nintendo and Amazon has reached escalation point as the popular online retailer says that it won’t have Nintendo’s latest console available for pre-order. Amazon apparently stopped selling the Nintendo 3DS a while back, and hasn’t ever stocked the Nintendo 3DS XL. Joystiq tried to reach out to both Amazon and Nintendo to find out what’s going on, but they have yet to receive a reply from either party.

Yet again only the consumer gets hurt…

The spAM IZ ON!

:D

Yes right again if companies dont suport there consumers then consumers just buy from a consumer frindley place best buy walmart game stop

GameStop? Consumer friendly? That’s a good one.

Cue angry people.

It’s weird because the other versions of Amazon don’t seem to be similarly afflicted. The UK site has them listed.

I’m guessing its a small feud between Nintendo and Amazon’s US company, or it’s one of the retailers that use Amazon.

I am assuming this is Amazon of America?

I’m guessing although is just check amazon us does have 3ds and 3dsXL listed with Free Super Shipping…

There are independent sellers that offer free shipping.

Thats gotta hurt sales. or maybe not as everywhere else is pre ordering anyway.

Game stop is not preorder and i also couldnt find anyone else who is. Since i can’t preorder it they will not get my money. i am not going to fight over finding a system close to christmas. what a joke. i wont by nintendo’s brand again.

The only people who loose out are Amazon. Idiots.

Amazon UK has it anyway, so it doesn’t apply to me.

Amazon going lose consumers

Dear Amazon. com Customer,

Thank for you signing up to be notified when the Wii U is available.

Unfortunately the Wii U console is not available at Amazon. com at this time but please check back in the future, as availability may change.

We do have the latest Wii U games and accessories available now so check them out.

Thank you for shopping with Amazon Video Games.

So if you’re interested in the Wii U, you’ll have to pre-order elsewhere – at least for now.

The wiiu is just not available YET on Amazon. will be in the near future some time….

A sad day for a lot of gamer’s for sure, especially with a massive F U message like that.

This is strange. Maybe Nintendo is sleeping with Amazon’s wife or something.

So nintendo dosent want some sorting robot, secret job steeler, econmy breaking, monygrubbling 3 man crew to sell thier items. at least nintendo will give gamestop/game people jobs still. screw amazon.

You don’t know much about the Amazon. com Inc., do you?

You do relise that since they are online only they dont deal with sales taxes? Their distribution is almost compleatly automated? Their workers do nothing but keep servers running and mechanics running at each distribution sight? Please I know enough not to tuch Amazon. they sell everything made and hurt every side of the industry minus food. amazon made borders close doors, they also helped close the doors to places like sunco, music center close down. Get out of your damn parents house every once in a while and realise people lost jobs cause of that fucking place.

1. They’re not online only.

2. Some states do require sales tax, even for Amazon. com

3. Distribution is not almost automated.

4. Amazon employs numerous people who do other things other than “do nothing but keep servers running.” Really… I don’t even think I have to explain..

5. You are very, very, very, ignorant and naive.

Yes i now that there 1% and we are 99% gamers

Amazon. ca also doesn’t have any problem with Nintendo. I don’t know what the US Amazon has against them, but I think it may be time for them to think about their own bottom line… unless they are planning on going to a streaming only service.

… I was just on amazon… I could buy a 3DS and a 3DSXL…

A person above answer that same question when i brought it up, they are independent seller that provide free shipping

No, it’s offered through amazon. com

I rechecked and It is not sold by Amazon. com. Through their website by independent sellers yes, for an exuberant price. If Amazon sells it themselves then they use the normal retail prices or sometimes less with free shipping.

Yes, this issue concerns NoA and US Amazon. BTW, yesterday afternoon I received the following:

“Dear Amazon. com Customer,

Thank for you signing up to be notified when the Wii U is available.

Unfortunately the Wii U console is not available at Amazon. com at this time but please check back in the future, as availability may change.

We do have the latest Wii U games and accessories available now so check them out.

Thank you for shopping with Amazon Video Games.”

Very strange. So far, in US, I know that both Best Buy and Game stop are receiving pre-orders.

I got that same email, too, and it sucks because I’m an Amazon Prime member who was hoping to get the Wii U with free shipping. Whatever, at least there’s a Gamestop within walking distance…

That’s it. The fact is that I usually prefer to purchase electronics at Amazon. com. Fair prices when compared to competitors (ok, it does not apply to WiiU since it has a fixed price, I know), good service, everything always well-packaged.

Another recent quite odd issue between NoA and local vendors was the one regarding Xenoblade: only Game Stop has it. o. O

“We won’t be selling the Wii U, but you can get Wii U games here. That’s good right?”

…I really don’t want to go to GameStop for the Wii U.

Try Toys r Us or Walmart. I think I’ll check there.

Looks like i have to scrape up 1800 dollars…

Amazon must be really stupid, the amount of hype created after yesterday is too large for a retailer to pass by, at least the other Amazon’s aren’t crybabies.

There are always valid reasons behind these decisions other than, “spite.”

The article says Amazon (of America, the other countries are unaffected it seems) isn’t selling 3DS XLs either. There’s obviously some sort of internal dispute between Amazon and Nintendo that we’re unaware of.

I heard that Amazon had tons of 3DS returns due to screen scratching issues and maybe other 3DS complaints. Maybe they took a big hit with the original 3DS and Nintendo didn’t make it right with Amazon.

Yesterday i was happy, now i am pissed off

Yeah, I kind of noticed. Even though they’re allowing pre-orders of the games, they aren’t doing the same for the console. I don’t have any idea why.

Likely some legal kinks.

Meh don’t care I don’t buy my stuff off the internet. I want it as soon as I can and that can only be done in store instead of waiting a few days or so after release.

Good thing about Amazon though, you can get a lot of stuff from day 1.

If the shipoing screws up you could be waiting weeks. I have walmart, bestbuy, futureshop, and EB games 10 min walk away from so I go there to get instantly. I was first to preorder my Wii U at my local eb games and I was the only one there too this morning.

I’ve been buying products from Amazon for years and if the listing specifically says ‘shipped and sold by Amazon’ there won’t be any issues.

Interesting… Amazon Germany / Austria doesn’t have those problems, i could preorder just fine.. altough they are missing details for the ZombiU Bundle…

Funny… Amazon Canada seem to have all Nintendo console available at the moment (3DS, 3DS XL and Wii). Amazon US must be kind of butt hurt or something. Or maybe MS and Sony gave big money to them to avoid selling Nintendo products. Wouldn’t be surprised.

Forgot to say that there aren’t any Wii U pre-order though.

Well good thing I preordered a Wii U at Gamestop, you only need to put down $25 and it can be easily refunded so my plan was to have a backup in case Amazon wasn’t preordering and it looks like I was right

This is a huge blow to a lot of folks… but I sort of saw it coming with the way Amazon handled the 3DS XL. Weird. Gamestop seems to be doing a lot of business in a very short time period. If you’re looking for a pre-order there I’d act fast.

That really sucks that you can’t preorder the Wii-U on Amazon. I preordered the Wii-U right a way after Nintendo Direct. I didn’t want to miss my chance on getting the Wii-U being sold out.

I’m no insider, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is because Amazon has sold a lot of NON Nintendo consoles that have Nintendo labels, and Nintendo has had to spend their own money to replace them. I have several friends both in the USA and in the UK who purchased their DS’s from amazon only to discover that they didn’t work at all. Nintendo was kind enough to replace the items.

I just screamed and threw my Oshawott plushie at my monitor.

Seriously, Amazon?!

You’re a business! Let me help you make money! There’s a reason why I’ve built up $400 in Amazon Gift Cards this past year through spending time on a bajillion sites!

What is Buy Now Pay Later?

Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months depending on how much you spend. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).

You can choose:

Buy Now Pay Later for 6 months when you spend £100 or more (1 month = 28 days).

Buy Now Pay Later for 12 months when you spend £300 or more (12 calendar months).

How is interest calculated?

Interest is calculated daily from date of order, compounded every 28 days and added to your account as a lump sum at the end of the delayed payment period. This means you will pay interest on interest.

How to avoid paying interest?

You can avoid all of the interest by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, this can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.

Making partial payments without clearing the cash price in full will reduce the lump sum of compound interest charged at the end of the delayed payment period.

Remember if you choose not to pay the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, any outstanding balance plus a lump sum of compound interest will be charged to your Very account.

How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?

To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose "Make a payment", select "Pay Buy Now Pay Later" and allocate your payment to the specific Buy Now Pay Later you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.

What happens after the delayed payment period?

If you have not paid the cash price in full or have only made a partial payment, a lump sum of interest will be charged to your Very account. Any outstanding balance plus the interest will now become payable on your account.

As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest at your account rate, meaning you will pay interest on interest. This will be included within your account minimum payment request every 28 days and cannot be repaid using Take 3.

If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.

What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?

The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.

Do I still have to pay my minimum payment?

Yes, allocating payments to Buy Now Pay Later will not cover the minimum payment for your Very account. If you have a non-Buy Now Pay Later balance on your Very account, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.
