I don't see how Amazon could do this. Unless they made it a storefront for their PC download service, which would not work since a lot of Amazon PCDD stuff goes through Steam.

I will be up 5:45 tomorrow morning, hoping Amazon still has them if they did release tonight.

Sorry but I'm going to be ROFL when it ends up being rated 10+ or T.

Whether they give priority to people who pre-order earlier is on a store by store basis, but from what I know of the corporate structure I'd bet 9 times out of 10 someone who pre-orders the day before release gets just as much priority as someone who pre-ordered a month ago.

So yeah, don't preorder from Gamestop. Really hoping Amazon comes through for me.
For the DS, and Wii I was waiting in line for at least 20-30 mins to make sure I was reasonable close to first in line. For the 3DS I got there and was like maybe 5-6th and I waited 2 hours for it. I never trust gamestop with any preorders.

I don't want to have to wait again. This time I want painless.

Kinda surprised, but 2 of the 8 or so Best Buys nearest me are already showing "unavailable" for pre-ordering the black system. This is in TN
Old 09-13-2012, 11:22 PM   #486
Definitely going for the 32GB model. Hope to see some free game offers at launch!

Next time you go in I would still ask for a printout of your active preorders. They just have to hit Alt-P when they see your preorder list.
Old 09-13-2012, 11:35 PM   #488
I pre-ordered on Best Buy for in-store pick up. I told myself I would wait on this but I know if I do I will be mad I didn't pre-order. I will have to hold on to my Wii though since I gave my Gamecube away years back... I'm not going to have enough room for all my consoles. Might have to use my Wii like my Dreamcast and only hook it up when I want to play something

I called about the test SKU and she inquired with the Gaming Division for me. I deal with her a lot (she helps me out with in-store/preorder pickups) and she's never lied to me once in all my time going to that store, so I believe her.

I'll be there with bells on.

have you ever heard of these things called external hard drives?

One BB a little ways away from me shows unavailable. I wonder if that store actually sold out of their preorders

I already have too many games to play. Wii U can wait. I'm honestly very happy and content with my Wii and 3DS at the moment.

Two stores near me (MI), including the one I go to, are now showing "unavailable" for the black system as well and one store is showing this for the white.

That's good to know. The people in the gaming department know I'll be back tomorrow as well.

5 of the 10 closest to me are now unavailable for preorders. At least for the deluxe. Basic set is still showing up for all stores
Old 09-13-2012, 11:58 PM   #496
weird indeed, the local bestbuy has the white one available for store pickup but not the black one anymore
Old 09-14-2012, 12:01 AM   #497
I'm an unlocked member an a PUR member. Which store is best for preordering?

well if you are a best buy premier silver silver member, you have 60 days to return it in case you don't like it. For gamestop, well i dont know if they allow returns but i guess they have the better "gamer" atmosphere for a midnight launch??
Old 09-14-2012, 12:05 AM   #499
All BBs in the south bay are showing unavailable. Thanks to you guys, I was able to secure a preorder for store pickup earlier today

My local is listed as still available, but a lot of the other stores in my area (more popular stores I'd say) are all unavailable. I wonder what this is.
