How good is Amazon with online codes for things like MS Points?

I haven't had a problem with PSN codes or PC keys. You might have to wait a minute or two for your payment to finish processing before you can access your code, but that's it.

Looking to get ride of the Kinect should I trade it in at Gamestop or sell the thing on ebay?

on ebay a used working Kinect accessory will sell for around $50-$60.

Starting the auction at .01 and ending at $55 will net you $48.15 (minus the paypal and ebay fee of $6.85) Assuming you break even on shipping.

Good luck!

Thanks, thats about what I'm looking to get for the thing should I throw in the games I have for it with that auction or do the games separate?

IMO I would throw the games in to make it one transaction. You will net a little more if you do seperate.

Gamestop right now is giving $30 with powercord....so with power up card you could get $33. You talking a $22 difference or 40%.

Launches are always a mess, but a friend of mine told me that when he went to get one (he's the chatty type) that he had to stop a couple of different people (2 Mom's) from going home with Wii's instead of Wii U's. I was listening to a little of the Bombcast today and they were saying the same thing. Amazing, but also not at all, considering how poorly Nintendo has advertised/differentiated this from the Wii.

My wife, who is a pretty big gamer, had no idea it was a new system. She asked me just last week if it was an add on for the Wii.

Nintendo, you fail.

Yeah, another friend of mine asked me if he should get the Wii U add-on, or if it would be just like the MotionPlus and he'd never have anything to use it for. Had to explain to him that it was an entirely new system. This could be very, very bad for Nintendo between the poor marketing and the how bad the ports sound.

The dumbest thing they did was keep the Wii name.

That and continue to use the Wiimotes.
