- How do you do it? - If you just ask a retailer straight up, when would be a good time? - If not, where would you obtain one? Wii U kiosk console can apparently be converted to a dev console so thats interesting. Might aswell try to get the easy way in.
Depends where you are, however. Usually they are auctioned off to employees... Otherwise if no one takes it, they send them away to get destroyed and sometimes people from those places take them home. You try to: 1) put you name down for one if you speak DIRECTLY to the store owner. Not a manager or employee. 2) call recycling companies near the end of generations and see if any are arriving 3) call nintendo,microsoft etc to buy a new unit (Anyone really can buy these). Topic moved to general gaming. Has nothing to do with unreleased games.
