Just a couple of weeks before launch, Nintendo has revealed the digital benefits of purchasing a Wii U Deluxe set. The set, which costs $50 more than the Basic model, comes with a number of hardware upgrades and accesries, which have long been known. The system itself is in the black colorway, there is 32GB of internal memory (compared to 8GB for the basic), the console comes with NintendoLand, ...

It's not a horrible deal. I say this puts it between XBL crappy percentage off and PS+. I know PS+ only gives away free "rentals" but lets face it, that saves a lot in $ right there; and I really hope Sony sticks with that going into PS IV era.

That aside going back to the article, the reason I claim it's not a great deal is simply because of this: yes you speak truly that after 8-10 titles you get a free new game of your choice essentially making it 1 new title every year. But aside from DS, SNES, GBA, Gameboy, NES; Nintendo hasn't exactly been scoring 10 must have titles (3rd Party or no), a year. Considering over half the launch titles are remade or ported games that already been out for 360/PC/PS3, it makes little sense to most to even invest in the system right now. So overall knowing that 10 hits that "MUST HAVE" by at least 1 member of the family will be virtually non-existent, the 10% cash back is an ok deal at best.
