What a gigantic pooch screw.

I was JUST on IGN last night reading that thought preorders would open in a week. I went to bed after midnight. Then I go to a movie and get to this news. Nintendo just doesn't give a fuck.

If you can find it.

https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/28/1...ow-to-buy-tips

Best Buy: The go-to electronics retailer will be distributing its SNES Classics through a ticketing system. Every Best Buy location will have stock, and tickets for all available launch-day units will be distributed at 7AM to those in line. Best Buy isn’t holding a midnight launch, nor is it opening early for this launch; regular business hours at most stores start at 10AM. But if you manage to get a ticket before then, you’ll know you’re guaranteed Nintendo’s latest nostalgia gadget. “We will only pass out as many tickets as we have systems available, with a limit of one per customer,” the company has confirmed.

GameStop: Again, every location is guaranteed to have some Super NES Classic devices available on day one. GameStop isn’t doing tickets, but the retailer is taking a somewhat unusual and transparent step to at least prevent people from waiting in long lines for no reason; it will post the number of consoles available right on the front door! That will happen either “after close tonight or before the stores open tomorrow” depending on the store, according to a spokesperson. Also, they’ll be sold individually and you won’t have to buy a bundle with things you don’t want.

Nintendo World NYC: Nintendo’s flagship retail store in Manhattan is being pretty strict about this launch. The company is limiting SNES Classic purchases to one-per-customer. The console can only be purchased with a debit or credit card, and the name on that payment method must match the ID of whoever’s buying. If it doesn’t, you’ll be turned away. Sales begin at 9AM.

Target: Every Target will have stock and customers in line will receive tickets for the SNES Classic before doors open. Many Target stores open a couple hours earlier than your typical Best Buy or GameStop, so it might be worth an early AM visit.

ThinkGeek: I’m still bitter and ashamed that I somehow convinced myself to give ThinkGeek over $100 for an NES Classic and some stupid Tetris lamp a couple months ago, but that’s a thing that happened. For the SNES Classic, ThinkGeek wants you to know that it’s going to be selling the console individually without forcing customers into buying a bundle.

Toys “R” Us: Every store will have SNES Classics available, and a spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that every Toys “R” Us will be handing out tickets to line dwellers before opening. “Our stores will open at normal time (9AM local) and every big-box store — not express or outlet with the exception of Times Square — will have a limited quantity of consoles. So, we recommend that gamers get in line bright and early!”

Walmart: The Super NES Classic will be available at every Walmart. For Walmarts that are open 24/7, the console will be available for purchase beginning at 12:01AM ET. Elsewhere, they’ll go on sale as soon as the store opens.

Target had a line around the front of the store. My friend in NY got in line and got s ticket saying he’s 28/42. So that’s a good number of units.

I went to gamestop where I scored the nes. Only 7 people.

Didn't get it. I got the site the second they tweeted it was available.

but on my iPhone I couldn't click on the actual product page link.
i tapped everywhere on the screen too.

I then tried loading the page on my work computer but i kept getting the 503 error

Poor Miz.

I happen to have my 2nd one still in the shipping package from thinkgeek. I think it was $93 including shipping.

You pay me $87 (price plus tax) and the cost to ship to you, and its yours. I'll eat the original shipping fee.

I dont care to profit on this shit, I just someone to have it who will actually play it and enjoy it. If I find out you turned around and shilled it...I'll fly up and skin your testicles.
