This is good to hear.  The grey market has exploded on ebay/amazon etc.  Lots of people only looking to make more off the product than the company that created it.  I wish all the grey market sellers failure and having to eat the cost and sell at a loss

5.0 out of 5 stars Wii U has Worked Great For Us! November 20, 2012By Fun DadFun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   We got our Wii U (Deluxe Set) early 11/18. Here are my impressions thus far:

1) Setup: Couldn't be easier. My 12-year old and I had it up and running in about 4 minutes, including connection to the internet. Anyone who says set up is difficult blows me away as you can do it without any instructions it's so intuitive. For those that have weird and needlessly complex home network and wifi configurations, plan on an extra 2-3 minutes for setup, but it has worked more easily and seamlessly than with our PS3.

2) Initial updates: The console required an update to access some of the features, and both of the games we tried had small updates too. The main console update took about 3 minutes to download and another 3-5 to install. Not bad considering it was a large (1.05 GB) update. For those who have issues with this taking a while, you may want to consider moving your wireless router closer to the unit temporarily or hard wiring it in. The game updates took 2-3 minutes total and were trivial from my perspective.

3) TouchPad. This is a very fun and neat addition. I'm not sure how it will be used all of the time, but so far Nintendo has done a great job integrating it into their new games. I think it has huge potential. The Pad display is very good and the touch screen is accurate and responsive. We use the unit with a brightness 3 out 5 and it lasts over 4 hours. Also YOU CAN USE THE UNIT WHILE CHARGING - WE DO IT ALL THE TIME AND IT WORKS JUST FINE! Anyone saying this isn't the case either hasn't tried or got a different unit they we did. We are very excited for this feature (and I'm glad I won't be buying 3 more of the things down the road). I love the touchpad!  Read more
