Rumor Mill: Wii U Rumors Abound, Including Both Price and Release Date!

Thanks to a leaked Amazon listing (which has now been removed) all kinds of secret info on the Wii U has come out.  First of all, the listing claimed that the new console's release date would be November 11th (so soon!) and that it not only has one price, but three separate options: a $250 model, a $300 model, and a $350 one as well.  My guess on the price difference would be the inclusion of controllers and an additional Wii U pad.  Perhaps the $300 one comes with that Wii U Pro Controller and the $350 comes with a second Wii U pad?  Or maybe the extra $50 in the $350 model includes a pack-in game like Nintendo Land? Maybe it's different storage sizes.  I don't know, it's all speculation at this point.  Wait, hold on! There's also some Zelda rumors as well!
