YMMV- Gamestop and Best Buy are receiving NES Classics. UPDATED

[wolverinevsx23]

I given up on this crap two months ago. I have better things to do than camp out 6+ hours to obtain one and be told sorry we don't have any. I blame Nintendo 100% for not making these available everywhere. I guess that they would rather have some scalper get $300+ dollars on EBay than selling their newly released Nintendo Switch. Who's winning...? Scalpers. Who's losing...? Nintendo and people paying $300+ for their NES Classic Edition.

do u guys think people should be allowed to hold spots? This guy's friend showed up and wentertainment to meet his friend cutting half the line. no one else said anything but I don't know what his deal is

 

[the_vahngo]

spot holding is scummy and you should say something

 

[HydroX]

I second this.

Had 11 people in line in so cal. Opening crew just showed up and told us they got 4 in. I was 6th.

 

[Jodou]

Apparently they said people order online and the rest of the stock is release at 11am

Somehow I doubt there will be any released online. Just doesn't make sense when they're clearly trying to pack people into stores.

I'm 50/50 on spot holding. Depends on situation. Also to those saying scalpers win. They only win if people pay those prices. If we all don't and the return period comes up for the item. Then they will return the item thus allowing people to buy at MSRP.

Showed up at Arundel Mills as they were opening the door. Only 3 people in line and a bunch of people in their cars. I thought I got lucky, turns out they handed tickets out at 9am. 

I read an article somewhere that Amazon Prime Now will be randomly stocking them throughout the week. I'll try there. 

 

[justadude]

Guys who got tickets looked nothing like what I would expect. Must be pro flippers. This store only got 7 units and those who got tickets lined up before 8 am.

 

[bradbo]

I've got a few from prime. It's the easiest way.

 

[Deader2818]

Mine let people get more than one lol

 

[Lgndryhr]

That's crazy. Should be 1 per customer.

 

[Deader2818]

This best buy usually does dumb shit

Once you get a ticket, can you go to work/school/reality then go back in the evening or so and get one?  Lol.

 

[sarma81]

Thanks Enigma. Can you also check store 1018?

If there's enough for everyone in line at that given time, it's annoying (as it makes people behind them nervous) but allowable I'd say if they do indeed have enough.

If they took someone else's that was waiting longer that's not acceptable. The Line (with a capital L) needs to administer its own justice here.

 

[coopscohen]

Enigma, can you check Store 135 please? Thank you

 

[da1nonliiny]

When I check the store locator and look in the address bar at the end, it says these store numbers
I even googled Gamestop and then the store numbers I've provided and it showed them.

I think it's only ok to  hold a spot if a someone drop off an elderly or someone that needs assistance to the line, then after the person finds parking only then they could get in line.  

 

[RColaUAB]

Could you check store 383? Thank you!

 

[booya42301]

Is every best buy doing tickets

No, some are doing cake. If you resist the urge to eat it, you get an NESC.

1769 and 873

 

[HydroX]

1787 ?

 

[wolverinevsx23]

BOTTOM LINE IS SCALPERS WIN...NINTENDO LOSES.

Ebay the NES Classic Editions are selling for $300+ each.

That's the cost of (6) NES Classic Editions  or (1) Nintendo Switch at retail MSRP price.  

Who's winning?

 

 

[JP]

I had debated getting in on this, but after seeing this thread. Glad I didn't. 4 or 5 at some locations? Screw that noise.

 

[icyplaya12]

Just scored one.....for my mom! She will probably only use it a handful of times     My store handed out tickets kind of late at 8:24, we had about 20-25 people in line and they handed out 16 tickets. I also picked up the only insignia controller they had in the store. I ordered  2 of them for myself this morning. off to bed now. I hope the real gamers were able to pick one up today.

 

[plus1zero]

778?

 

[Drewish522]

damn my store has 22. I work like a mile from the store and at 530am when i drove by i saw 5 people in line. im going to take my lunch early at 8am and see if i can get one!

 

[Retrocity]

Can you check if 584 has any remaining? Thanks!

 

[plastikpyro]

store 774 please 

 

[sasuke543]

How do you find the store number for Best Buy? Want to know the stock for the Glendora, CA location

 

[sasuke543]

Store 1018 please

 

[jackclown410]

Can someone check how many store 150 has? Thanks

 

[Danksy]

Store 289 pleease and thanks in advance!

 

[Jodou]

You people asking about stores: if you haven't already gone to line up, you're probably too late.

 

[Retrocity]

Should be on the online store locator. I didn't see it listed when checking on the Best Buy app though so use the actual site.

 

[oansun]

Actually got one after asking

 

[jackclown410]

I'm here waiting already. Don't want to waste my time though.

 

[Abeja]

My store has a sign that all tickets were handed out and the store isnt even opened.

 

[wario64_follower]

Can you do 395 please

 

[Navex]

What's the point in getting these now since they just announced a newer, better version of it is coming out later? Unless you just want one to be done with it since I can't blame you there.

Because that's just an unconfirmed rumor?
