    well, after checking up on some info sites, the 8gb wii u isn't very good, as soon as you get a wii u and get on line, there is a update that takes a long time to download and uses almost 5gb of the memory.

    so, if your going to get one, get the 32gb model with the free game, its a better deal.

    they will be offering game downloads and other things online, so the extra space will come in handy.

    Keep it a couple of weeks then cash in as everyone will want one for Christmas, and all the shops will be sold out.
    If that doesn't happen, then keep it

    the first update took an hour 5gb, then i had to setup all info on console, nintendo wii u store doesn't have much in it yet, i setup netflix and it undated that for about 15 mins.

    signed in and watched hercules tv episode, you can watch either on tv or game pad, you can go into another room and still watch netflix on the gamepad

    then I put the free nintendoland game in the console, another 15 minitue wait for update before playing game, i played pikman on the touchscreen using the stylus, its a fun game.

    i haven't tried a regular wii game but online says another update is needed.

    i can see how all these updates will fill the 8gb model fast, you can hook up an external drive on either of these right from the factory.

    for the extra 50 bucks you get 32gb plus the free game, a charging stand and regular stand for gamepad plus feet for using console upright ,

    on 8gb you have to plug power supply right into the gamepad.

    the game pad feels comfortable in your hands and games like pikman you just keep it flat on the table.

    i don't know why they use shiny black, console and gamepad picks up fingerprints fast, the bottom of gamepad is dulled.

    thats it for now, I really enjoy this so far

    To keep your wii u gamepad protected, you should get something like this => Pink Gamepad+Remote+Nunchuck Soft Case+Screen Protector+Pen For Nintendo Wii U | eBay

    My wife wanted the pink, but also comes in black, orange, blue, and green.
