If someone can clear this up for me, the Neo Geo x Gold Limited Edition is only available Online and will not be sold in stores at all?

Half-half. You can make an in-store order (such as at GameStop, if they still provide in-store preoders). You probably won't be able to find one in a store on the 18th, though.

I preordered mine for instore pickup.

The Neo Geo Gold X bundle is still available from Target and BB, and the standalone joystick is still available at Target and TRU (and you can take advantage of the B1G1 50% off at TRU). As I said, if you've decided to go ahead and already have the credit, you might want to just pull the trigger. I ordered two sticks from TRU with the B1G1-50% deal, and the system from Amazon.

Thanks for the push. I ended up ordering it. Can't wait to get this thing in my hands now.

Best buy is fine with me I get free shipping and can easily return it.now that Amazon charges tax in California I have no benefit to buy from them

Best Buy may only have this as an online item; the site says "online only". It seems like this won't be available in local brick & mortar stores right now.

I was about to preorder the joystick but supposedly it only works with the x-station. That sucks

Well it's USB, so there is a possibility it might work on a PC, but we won't know until it releases and people try it out. Better to wait and see on this, for sure.

Thanks for clearing it up, also can you stack BBRZ Gift Certificates? I went online and to check-out and there's no option (for me atleast) to add another, I have $65 in RZ GC I would like to burn on this.. Thanks.

Did you order for the B1G1-50% deal from TRU go through?!? Asking because their website said the promo excludes pre-orders.

So...still no news as far as prices and games for the cards yet, right?

Yep, I ordered two and got the 2nd for 50% off. It mentions the promotion on the product page for the stick on TRU. Two sticks for $75 plus tax (free shipping), came out to $78.xx for me shipped for both.

You should be able to. the site will normally give you the option to automatically add multiple certs if you click the link to add RZ certs and if you've linked your RZ to your Bestbuy.com account.

Looks like Target sold out of the Gold bundles? No more preorder button (except for the sticks).

That leaves Best Buy as the last site.

How many of these LE's do you think they are making? I would assume they would be halting production soon to ship in time for release date.

Anyone know if this shows up in the in-store preorder kiosk at Best Buy? The kiosk at my nearest store has been broken for several months now, otherwise I'd check it myself.

I can find out.

No way to know about quantities of the LE version with the Ninja Master's card. But I can't believe this won't be available after the release date, at worst without the extra game. It's all really up in the air right now . . . we don't even know if future game cards are planned, although Tommo claims they are. Not enough information can be frustrating for stuff like this, but I guess we just have to hope the support is there in the future. I'd be really surprised if no future games came out, especially since they have the gamecard slot for just that purpose.

I don't think anyone outside of Blaze and Tommo knows for sure, but it's pretty unlikely these are still in manufacturing unless the December 18th date is not accurate. These are being manufactured in China and sea freight typically takes 30 days for consumer electronics as they generally don't offload on the West Coast, but they have to go through the Panama Canal to unload in the New York/New Jersey ports where most electronics sold in the US travel through. It's likely whatever quantity they produced was manufactured several months ago.
