SNES Classic Discussion Thread

I personally want this for me and I want the US version way, way more than some console I didn't grow up with. 

To each their own, though!

Perfect! lol.
 
The *only* reason I want one is for Star Fox 2.  (Yes, yes, I know I could get a ROM...)

I have every single game otherwise that's included on the console.

 
Was able to get in preorder on Amazon uk and even went back and updated the shipping to global.

God I hope this doesn't get cancelled, it didn't say it wouldn't ship to the US when I put in my order :(

lol. Nobody watches garbage local morning news except housewives and basic bitches. It became a bloodbath the second it was announced on twitter and reddit.

I wasn't saying that it being on the local news was going to help build the frenzy. I was saying that it was already peaking so high that even local morning shows are hyped up about it. When the middle age anchors on a local morning news show are going, "Oh I can't wait to get one." Your chances just went from slim to fuck.

Same, I like the US design, I have a Raspberry PI 3 in a great US SNES case with a fan I got from Etsy and I love it. Part of the nostalgia for me is the look. The Super Famicom just looks functional. I do much prefer the controllers though, I had the ASCII pads with the colored buttons and love those.

I do understand others that like the other design though!

I've ordered movies from Amazon UK before and used standard shipping without a problem. Not saying it won't cause problems this time, but who knows...
I did standard shipping for my order of the SNES Classic, but only because I was in too much of a hurry to even bother looking at the shipping options.
 
So i preordered it though amazon uk but it also mentioned that Sorry we cannot deliver this item to the United States in red letters.

So does it still work?

I didn't see it, but it doesn't really matter due to the pre-order guarantee. You'll be charged the cheaper price regardless.

Problem is, the one people preordered yesterday and this one appear to not be the same thing for some reason. Different Amazon pages from what I can tell

Ok thanks I guess I'll leave it?
 
I got a conformation that the order went through. It would be weird for Amazon to all of the sudden stop shipping overseas since they have boasted about that in the past.
 
I wonder if gamers from the UK hate us for buying out their stuff.  The warning on the item page almost seems like it's there just to appease them whereas it's a *wink* and *nod* to us. 

 
Yes these could easily get cancelled, for a second I was like "yay I can stop looking now that this is settled" but they could simply cancel
 
Anyone know the price difference in shipping options for amazon.co.uk?

I was on mobile when I got the alert, and just went with standard delivery option.  Mentioned the difference in speed of delivery, but not price.

Regarding the will not ship to the United States comment on the Amazon UK site.

It always says that. People have ordered products from Amazon UK if you select global shipping.

I'm sure it's not a problem for Amazon to easily switch all of the orders they took yesterday to the new price. They probably took hundreds of orders during that point yesterday. I doubt they would sit back and hope not a single one of those people notice they were hit with a higher price. You aren't charged until it ships.

Change to global shipping. I think that is the reason that the disclaimer is there that it won't ship to us. You have to use the global method.
 
When I checked the actual link "this won't ship to the US" on Amazon UK, it did not list the US as a location they can ship video games too.

I wouldn't be surprised if these orders were cancelled.
 
I wonder why there two separate listings for two completely different prices.  :whistle2:k

I think something done goofed at amazon.uk. 

Missed this cheaper preorder, but got one from yesterday still locked.

Hopefully the price adjusts on its own later if this is legit, otherwise ill just chat with a CS once it ships. (If i dont snag a US preorder)

I have ordered from there before. It said the same thing. That's where I got my second nes classic controller.

So for this morning's entertainment I went to Gamefaqs Switch board page. Had a good laugh reading all of the millennials bitching and spouting how scalpers and Nintendo limiting stock is why we need socialism and government intervention instead of capitalism (albeit we don't have a true free market economy). Literally all because they don't think it's "fair" they won't 100% get a flipping plastic emulation toy (not that I'm not sitting here with tabs open myself lol). Entitled bastards.

The funny thing is, black markets and flipping is actually worse in a socialist economy

Thanks for the tip, so just switch from Standard Delivery, to AmazonGlobal Standard if you've already placed an order? Standard Delivery for sure wont work?

Grumpier is spouting off misinformation. He doesn't know that for a fact. It was able to be ordered to the US with standard shipping. Personally, I wouldn't mess with it until proven otherwise.

I've never had something not ship from International Amazon when picking the cheapest shipping option. That's why it asks you for your address first.
