Preorders for Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U sold out at every major retailer almost immediately after they were first offered in mid-September, but you can still guarantee yourself access to the system just after its November 18 launch. You’d better be ready to pay quite a bit extra for the privilege, though. Completed eBay listings dating back to Sept. 20 show resold preorders for the 32GB “Deluxe” system (which comes with a copy of NintendoLand and some accessories) selling for an average of $517, 48 percent higher than the $350 retail price.
