Hope your aren't relying on the Amazon email thing, that shit never works

LOL, just as I was typing that in my very reply above this one...

I do not have much faith in the Amazon pre-orders. After the Walmart Fiasco I won't feel safe until I have a console in hand.

I have really come to despise Nintendo. Sad really since I grew up with them. I was even thinking of buying a Switch. Oh wait, I can't even buy their LATEST console due to stock issues, much less this thing. Unless I want to buy an expensive bundle from FlipStop. Done for good with this company.

Trust me, I am still praying that my amazon.co.uk and/or game.co.uk orders will ship...

I'm a glutten for punishment. Much like picking women that are wrong for me over and over, I would buy a Switch today if I saw one on the shelf.

Email title of the Best Buy ad I just got:

You Snooze, You Lose: Get in on These Today-Only Deals

Troll title today for sure.

Called one of my local GameStops to see if they'd heard anything about today's mystery "announcement,." He had heard vague stuff but didn't know anything and woudn't take my number to call if it popped up. I called another store and that guy was more than happy to jot down my number, so I'm more than happy to throw that guy my pre-order if it happens.

Will do!

 

[Viper X]

Just called 2 of my stores also and they said that they did not hear anything about pre-orders.

 

[prince_david]

I got SMS alert yesterday to confirm from Gamestop so maybe it is online. If it is, it's day time, their servers will get DDoSed

 

[EvilChamp]

Just called my doctor. Looks like I'm going to live. 

 

[tcbys]

Did I miss Amazon pre order?

 

[EvilChamp]

You did. So did I, though.

 

[ONIN]

Same here. Damn sleep, why you always have to get in the way of stuff.

 

[tcbys]

WTF...

 

[Jurai]

I love reading the sob stories on Twitter from people who missed out

 

[tcbys]

So all the retailers had pre orders then?

 

[prince_david]

So all the retailers had pre orders then?

Only amazon & best buy. Target, Walmart, Gamestop and Toys r us havent started yet

 

[ONIN]

BB and Amazon so far. Still toysrus, target and GameStop. GameStop looks most likely today (possible bundle though).

I hope GS doesnt do a bundle...

 

[buddha_mjs]

they always do...

 

[GrimmTrixX]

The heck would they bundle with it? Think geek garbage?

 

[Jurai]

They did it for the nes

 

[prince_david]

They did it for the nes

yeah but only recently. I dont think they did this when they did the preorders, just when they were getting rid of stock.

 

[Jurai]

I don't think game stop did preorders at all for the nes

 

[slppedyoursster]

I can't even get GameStop's website to load.

 

[TheDeathVendor]

They did. I got my preorder in through them when the NES was up for preorder.

I have no doubt GS will make us buy socks to get the SNES.

 

[wolve]

Walamart's page got updated again, looks like they are preparing too.

 

[ghost1914]

Found an article that said nintendos main page updated showing Walmart, target, Best Buy, gamestop, toys r us, and amazon and saying pre order now so I wonder if we can expect all 6 stores to go live today. I know Best Buy and amazon did.

According to a Neogaf post 1PM EST for those retailers.

Nintendo why you do this? Why cant you make alot of whatever that it is you are selling. It all started with the Wii....

 

[AutoPilotOff]

When I got my nes classic at GameStop I had to buy bundle but then all I had to do was go in store and take it back for my money back.

 

[RabbiHick]

I have a staff meeting at 1. Should be about a half hour. If I come back and GS and WM went live and sold out, I will be beyond annoyed.

i dont know if walmart did, but their site says sold out where this morning it said unavailable.

 

[Sigma]

I think that's what the site has said since the disaster last month. Hoping this is true and I can get an order in somewhere at 1 today. I am still very salty at how Amazon handled the pre-orders. Best Buy I at least got my notification, but unfortunately was sleeping when it went live and just happened to randomly wake up 20 minutes after they went up. Got it in my cart, but OOS when I tried to check out.

 

[addicted2games]

Amazon would probably try to ship it in a bubble mailer anyways. LOL

 

[evuong]

Bot / preorder sites are now running slots for these too smh.

 

[prince_david]

God damnit it went live on walmart and i did the order and already sold out not even 2 minutes wtf

 

[realbigexplosion]

Yeah, it made me reenter my information and I didn't get it.

Got the address in and then booted during CC info.  Bleh.

 

[Bivensra]

Alert for Walmart from Tracker. Is it up?

 

[Snake2715]

Holy shit that was fast. I did a double take when I saw preorder.

I apparently got my order which is nice since I actually got in on the first walmart preorder just to be cancelled. 

 

[rb11701]

Whoa

 

[Pig]

yep. walmart up and down in 2 minutes. retro pie time boys.

 

[TacoSpartan177]

So we got bots taking up all the spots.
Yeah this is impossible to order.
