I already pre-ordered mine (I was 2nd to pre-order at my store).

Based on the price differences there's no reason NOT to buy the Deluxe version... hard drive size aside it comes with a game for less than the price of the game, the hard drive is just a bonus.

if demand is high it will be worth it's weight in gold during the holiday season
if demand is mediocre and I don't like it I can probably get my money back easily enough
if demand is so low that it sits on shelves, at least it plays Wii games in HD and I don't own a Wii anymore, so it's worth that.

really you can't go wrong buying a console like this on release day.

Judging buy the fact that there was literally a line forming behind me at the store to place pre-orders, I'd say that it will probably sell very well at launch.
