Am now at home, with my Wii U slowly downloading the day one software update. Excited to have one, but it's a bit disappointing to have to sit here and update the software the second I got home.
Did it force you to update?
I sort of interpreted it as saying I should update it, I'm uncertain as to whether or not it's required.
It's not that I can't wait it out, just a little disheartened that I'll probably be sitting here til 2:00 AM EST before it's completed if I'm lucky.
Of course, that's not to say I won't go ahead and deprive myself of sleep for the sake of playing around with it tonight
Anyone have any interesting stories picking up their system? My preorder was at the Raleigh Wal-Mart, so my wife and I had a 25 minute drive to the store, where we found 10 people standing in line. At midnight, the person in layaway rolls out a shopping cart with about 8 Wii U's (4 premium, 4 basic) and asks who has a pre-order. My wife and I were the only ones, so she had us cut in front of everyone to get ours first while those poor people waiting there for hours had to watch us take one of the Premium systems without more than a 5 min wait.
I felt a little bad for cutting, but I guess that's what they get for not pre-ordering
