GameStop advertisement suggests pre-orders may be available soon.

GameStop may begin to take pre-orders for the Wii U as early as August 13.

GenGAME recently reported on an image of what appears to be Wii U advertising in a GameStop. Citing "good relations" with GameStop management, GenGAME insists that the image is legit and that the advertisement campaign should begin on August 13. Furthermore, the article indicates that pre-orders will likely be available the same day the promotion begins or shortly after.

We called a few GameStop locations this morning, and while none are currently taking pre-orders, each store made it very clear that the day Nintendo announces a release date for the Wii U, they will begin to offer pre-orders. If GameStop is indeed beginning a big advertising push for the Wii U next week, it might indicate that Nintendo is close to finally revealing release information for the upcoming console.

I hope it is. The fact of not knowing the price until the fall is killing me inside. I hope this is true

I'm thinking $299.99 with a Wii RemotePlus, GamePad, and NintendoLand.

I can confirm those box thingy-s. I saw 'em in my local GameStop last night.
