They dont take anything until dispatch and its a price promise so if increased you dont pay anymore or if it decreases you will pay less so might aswell take a punt and pre order it
CANCELLATION EMAIL RECEIVED FROM THE **** 14/06/2012
THINKING OF TAKING THEM TO COURT OVER THIS - RIDICULOUSNESS.

So you think that WiiU controllers will be £200? And we're the planks?
Look Wozzer, most here thought this would be an error. The release date was the biggest giveaway. Amazon will likely send emails out to cancel the orders now, but what have we lost? 2 minutes of our time placing an order. Big whoop!
Stop trying to rile people up by acting so arrogant.
Heat added!
Ordered one.
I hate this site sometimes.
I haven't contacted Amazon about this but think you can probably start filling out the refund form right now; REASON FOR RETURN: Product not as described (does not include hands in picture with tablet controller).
Wozzer, see that bike in your avatar?!... Get on it!
It was never going to happen at the end of the day........... Why order a wii u off them if your hacked off that your pre-orders never came on time? i will tell you why, price the same reason you will order off them next time round because its the cheapest
(edited)
Its a deal as this is the best price as of yet and you can actually pre-order it
On this console, I would say that ZombiU is the only game that I would consider pre-ordering alongside it and I can imagine that's probably quite a popular opinion.
If you can't find anything of interest on the PS3 or 360 though then you may as well either give up gaming altogether or just stick to your Wii balance board.

I'd be expecting to pay twice this to play games like Arkham City and Assassins Creed.
You're talking about that shiny new suit in Arkham City aren't you!!
Maybe they'll bring out a Miley Cyrus game too
Not a chance..the screen controller is the main controller for the system..many of the announced launched games (Zombi U, Nintendoland, Game & wario) wouldn't even be playable without the screen controller.
You know someone without one?????????
Part of their price promise
Yeah no set date yet so will prob get pushed back near xmas i imagine
Because the rrp is unlikely to be lower. it will in fact probably be higher. If it's lower u pay less if its higher you dont pay anymore and you can cancel for FREE. you can't lose. that's why it's a deal.
Nods, wiiU controllers must be in the region of £50 (Im expecting near £60, will be surprised if they are are £45 or below), ordered one just incase it does get honoured, I remember getting the wii first week of release and straight swapping for a 360 with games mwhahahah.
No, Iwata the chairman on Nintendo confirmed that all Wii U's will come with a console and a Tablet Pad controller.
Interesting. If anyone in the UK (retailer wise) has a direct line through to the department that sets prices at Nintendo it would be Amazon, they will probably be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) online sellers of Wii U.
Worth a punt.
