Yeah I would've caused a big scene over that.I got shafted yesterday at target for a NES Classic. Stood in line at 6:00 am 3rd person in line. Manager tells us there is 5 units, homeboy in front calls his buddies that drive up and cut the line. Told the manager he told me they had been waiting, I retorted I just watched them drive up and park. He replied oh I didn't know that.
I swear the selling of this device by brick and mortar has been so shady. Nintendo dropped the ball on this really bad. This device could have saved that company not the switch.
That sucks but hard to fault the manager over that one. It's your word vs the guy in front of you. That guy in front is the one who screwed you.I got shafted yesterday at target for a NES Classic.

That's ed up, but you have to cause a ruckus to stop this kind of shit from happening. People will only do as much as they can get away with. Was the second guy not willing to back you up?I got shafted yesterday at target for a NES Classic. Stood in line at 6:00 am 3rd person in line.

It was the second guy that did it. I feel from the response i got from the manager that he knew the guys. From his mannerism's to the tone he was using it just had shady written all over it. I call corporate told them about the situation as they should have done a ticketing system, which he should have gave when he came back and said they had 5. if that would have happened everything would have been fine as they weren't present in the line so i would have gotten a ticket. Corporate then called the store with me on the other line and apparently the manager said he did a ticketing system. Sounds like they are covering their asses.That's ed up, but you have to cause a ruckus to stop this kind of shit from happening. People will only do as much as they can get away with.

He described one as "homeboy" so they were probably negroes, and thus obviously carrying 10 concealed weapons each. Possibly blaring that damn hippity-hop out of their car as they pulled up.you gotta stand up for yourself dude. That shit doesn't fly if you explain yourself properly, and loudly.
WoahHe described one as "homeboy" so they were probably negroes, and thus obviously carrying 10 concealed weapons each. Possibly blaring that damn hippity-hop out of their car as they pulled up.

Its all good Phil Jacksonlol. Sorry I dont even know why i said homeboy.
I just thought it was funny, it sounded like a guy on an old episode of Law and Order talking about what a menace The Blacks are or something.lol. Sorry I dont even know why i said homeboy.
LOL. You sir won my heart with your post
That is the right sku.Has anyone purchased a NES Classic at Best Buy and still have the receipt? I am trying to make sure the SKU on the receipt is the same as on the website which is 5389100. I have reason to believe it is not. I ask because I can possibly get exact locations with exact numbers for everyone if I have the right SKU.
That is the right sku.

Thanks I will probably just have to wait and see what the query does when it comes back in stock then.From a BB online order, sku is 5389100. Printed on my invoice.
If I remember correctly, that was the "Rage" episode, and that was one of my favorites actually. I partially got the reference if that is the one you where referring to, and I also figured it was a joke as well.I just thought it was funny, it sounded like a guy on an old episode of Law and Order talking about what a menace The Blacks are or something.
I can verify this SKU.From a BB online order, sku is 5389100. Printed on my invoice.
They were supposed to go to the back of the line if they showed up that late. You should have caused a scene and complained even recorded it on your phone to make a video go viral, you could have cashed in on that.I got shafted yesterday at target for a NES Classic.

Agreed. It was a complete disaster that brought out the worst in people. NES Classic turned employees into absolute lying scumbags and customers into reselling cut throat vultures. And for what? To dump them on eBay for profit. Horrible. It's Nintendo's fault. They need to get out of the hardware industry and just do software only in my opinion.I took the NES Classic as my absolute, last final straw with Nintendo. em. I won't buy anything else by them again. I'm just one jaded gamer, but they won't have anymore of my jaded money. The bed was thoroughly shit, with the NES Classic.
haha I love these Nintendo tantrums.I took the NES Classic as my absolute, last final straw with Nintendo. em. I won't buy anything else by them again. I'm just one jaded gamer, but they won't have anymore of my jaded money. The bed was thoroughly shit, with the NES Classic.
My wishful thinking scenerio: Nintendo produces these minis as seasonal items.haha I love these Nintendo tantrums.
"I love Nintendo but they're never getting another cent from me." i.e. "I can't have something so I dun want it anymore!"
"Take my money Nintendo!! How come you hate money so much and fail at business?!"
You hear it from literally everyone, especially used to hear it a lot from people waiting in line for amiibos. It's funny to hear someone exclaiming how Nintendo sucks at everything while that person is waiting in line for a Nintendo product.
Yes, Nintendo controls people's actions.Agreed. It was a complete disaster that brought out the worst in people.

The real problem for anyone looking to keep one are the people shelling out $200+ for these on ebay.I love how Nintendo is the devil now because they choose to stop selling their own product that isn't a need for your livelihood. Oh these first world problems.

Totally agree. I would like to have gotten a Classic to be able to play NES games with decent emulation, but Nintendo really shit the bed on this one by not supplying enough product to meet demand, leaving the door open for scalpers to hoard them and sell for stupid amounts of money. I hope Nintendo fails soon, so someone else can take over their back catalog of games and do them justice.Agreed. It was a complete disaster that brought out the worst in people.

Since online first became a thing for console gaming, I always looked forward to "N" and what they would offer, as they have probably the richest history of past games out of anyone in gaming. Sadly, I realized awhile back, they just aren't up to the task of offering these games properly, and at a decent price.I'd love to be able to play all these old classics, with high quality emulation, on a modern, feature-rich console. I'd pay good money for physical compilation releases of these classics, or even digital compilations that are well emulated (not like the horrible VC versions, which feature dim, dark, fuzzy graphics and poor sounds). But Nintendo appears to be unable to deliver, so someone else should really just take over their assets (especially from the NES, SNES, snd N64 eras) make an effort to get them properly released on solid consoles.
That's interesting. I always say "homeboy" or "homie" but in an ironic sorta way.I just thought it was funny, it sounded like a guy on an old episode of Law and Order talking about what a menace The Blacks are or something.

When a company says "screw the consumer, we don't need their money anyway" then yes, they're "the devil" - ESPECIALLY when that company continually underproduces enough product so that a large percentage of inventory ends up in the hands of scalpers.I love how Nintendo is the devil now because they choose to stop selling their own product that isn't a need for your livelihood. Oh these first world problems.
Only a little bit longer. Unfortunately, the Wii gave them so much extra cash that'll it'll be awhile before they finally sputter out of the market.Agreed.
