Also dealing with bad tru employees. "Sorry sir that item is discontinued, no TRU has that anymore".
Well, I'm not sure about your TV, but my HDTV certainly doesn't have an RGB output, and this is (I believe) the only way to play these games properly in HD without lag. Also, the SNES Classic will have the definitive version of Yoshi's Island, which along with Star Fox 2, used the FX chip, which hasn't been properly emulated until now. Another thing, the value you're getting for MSRP is absolutely insane even if you buy them on Virtual Console.I already have a SNES and half the games on the classic so the only real reason to pick it up is Star Fox 2 and is that really worth it? You know they will release it on the switch virtual console eventually.
This is where I picked up mine yesterday. They had 2 left after I bought mine. Being as I only found out about the Wayne store through this thread and it's unlikely that I was the only one in striking distance to the store, I would put money on them being legitimately sold out by now and the reports you're getting are from a stock search that hasn't updated yet.One Manhattan store said Wayne, NJ had a good amount in stock. Called them and she said no, but another store back in Ohio said a store in Jersey had a lot as well.
Anybody near there? Too far for me to travel.
Manhattan express said that NJ store had 12 and an Ohio one by where my brother lives said a store in Jersey had over 10 and one in PA had some. That's all I was able to see. 10-12 seemed excessive.This is where I picked up mine yesterday. They had 2 left after I bought mine.

However, fwiw, that Wayne store is literally down the road from TRU corporate, so who knows. The store is definitely not what you would call flagship (considering it was a repurposed Child World when they shut down in the 90s). I only saw the open case and no others shaped the same that were sealed. It's possible they had another case or so tucked away? I wouldn't bet on it though - so much that I wouldn't send anyone I know there to hunt for one. This area is pretty vicious when it comes to reselling.
Is it the location on West 33rd and 6th Ave NYC? If they really have 12, I should go and check it out. I'm only 30 minutes from there.Manhattan express said they had 12 and an Ohio one by where my brother lives said a store in Jersey had over 10 and one in PA had some.

Doesn't matter. Do your job. The customer asking about it is not one of the last forty people that have asked you about it. Smile and say "I don't know". Or find someone who does know. Don't sit there and lie to my face or insult my intelligence. Most importantly, when I smile and walk away due to your ignorance, it's probably not best to re-engage me and continue the charade.Many moons ago I worked at TMobile.
THere was this WINDOWS phone -- yes windows -- that was so hot, so in demand. I think it was called "Windows HD" (I got PS1 running on it, which at the time was incredible).
Anyway. People constantly called us for this phone. All the time. Everyone wanted it, but stock was seriously limited. After a while, you get really annoyed with people asking for it. You just do. IDC who you are, eventually, you will get annoyed. So cut annoyed sales people some slack when asking for a product that's been out of existence since the beginning of time.
Also, the phone sucked. Way too buggy.
Sorry for how I phrased that. She said the Wayne, NJ one had 12.Is it the location on West 33rd and 6th Ave NYC? If they really have 12, I should go and check it out. I'm only 30 minutes from there.
Edit: I just called that location and the girl immediate said they didn't have any. She didn't even bother to check the inventory system at all, she just straight up said they only had the Atari and no NES Classic without checking. I don't believe her.
ah OK. I misunderstood. I was about to race over there right now. LOL Its amazing how one store has 12 of them. Lucky for anyone who lives close by.Sorry for how I phrased that. She said the Wayne, NJ one had 12.
I'll swing by tomorrow with an update.ah OK. I misunderstood. I was about to race over there right now. LOL Its amazing how one store has 12 of them. Lucky for anyone who lives close by.
If there are extras you know I along with several others would gladly buy them off you.I'll swing by tomorrow with an update.

If you want to take a play out of the part-time Gamestop employee playbook, make up bullshit to a customer who is obviously more informed than you, then they are going to get irritated.
Sad that we expect this level of diligence with a lowly paid, minimum wage retail employee and we don't hold elected officials to even close to the same standard - especially when all of them are just lying, straight faced, right into ours and "insult[ing] our intelligence" all the time.Doesn't matter.

So I was able to get one a week ago when they went live but noticed it says "ships only in the UK" now. I'm assuming that being in the US won't get the item cancelled and that the new rule only applies to future orders. Anyone ordering from Game here in the states check into this?Back up at Game UK...gogogo! http://www.game.co.uk/en/super-nintendo-entertainment-system-classic-edition-2024185
Yeah, I noticed the same things.Sad that we expect this level of diligence with a lowly paid, minimum wage retail employee and we don't hold elected officials to even close to the same standard - especially when all of them are just lying, straight faced, right into ours and "insult[ing] our intelligence" all the time.
Just an observation. Carry on.
Per the FCC website, it takes 6-8 weeks to get through approval process.I apologize in advance if this has been answered. 273 pages.
How long do you think it will be after the SNES Classic is approved by the FCC until we can preorder it?

Awesome collection, I am super envious!I literally own all 20 of the games on the SNES Classic and I still want one for Star Fox 2 alone, since it's the closest thing to a physical release of that game that we will get.

bwahahahahahahahahahahah ... bwhahahahahahahaha ... yeah, yeah, I know ... of course, just when you think so ... wait for the launch and see how badly they screw it up.yeah that Starfox 2 release makes it seem like Nintendo almost.... almost is listening to their fans....
I hope I'm wrong. It'd be crazy if it's true - 12+ classics at a single store for more than a day? Pretty much unheard of.I'll swing by tomorrow with an update.
For every one step forward.........bwahahahahahahahahahahah ... bwhahahahahahahaha ... yeah, yeah, I know ... of course, just when you think so ... wait for the launch and see how badly they screw it up.
I hope for the best & wish you grab one for yourself. I wish you would've got me one but I gonna check my area after work at 12PM and see if they got any.I hope I'm wrong. It'd be crazy if it's true - 12+ classics at a single store for more than a day? Pretty much unheard of.
And then torturing them by purposefully under producing what they want.yeah that Starfox 2 release makes it seem like Nintendo almost.... almost is listening to their fans....
FYI, I just stopped by the store in Wayne, NO and they have the NEW Classic in a locked drawer at Customer Service and couldn't see how many there were. Seems be a at least few more.If you are still looking for the NES Classic, don't give up. A friend of mine called and had his the store look it up. They said the Rockford, IL ToysRUs still has some in Stock as of 2 minutes ago.
If you want to call, the store can look it up by sku. The sku is: 099263
Interesting, I had my order cancelled from the first round and it was for a UK address. I think this is just GAME being a shitty retailer like usual.Looks like my game.co.uk order will get canceled. Paypal says the transaction was rejected by game for some unknown reason but game still shows the order and when i called game about my order they told me all the orders for the snes were UK only and anything outside would most likely be canceled.
Why would you waste 8-10 hours and gas money. This is where it just makes sense to buy from scalpels.If anyone can find any NES Classics within 4 or 5 hours of Cleveland, I'll go to the TRU and get two and will sell the second at cost to whoever helps me find them.
I had the guy check OK, KS, MO, IL, NE, and CO yesterday when I was at the store. The only stores he said showed any were in Westminster and Aurora Colorado. Except the one in Springfield Missouri where the other employee was a peckerhead about it.Checked again at my local TRU in Oklahoma, still no late arriving NES Classics. They checked inventory and haven't received any for months.
when you pay with Paypal using a credit card doesn't it charge immediately? I bought one from Game.co.uk back on 6/26 but can't find the purchase anywhere in my Paypal activity. You'd at least see a cancellation or a refund right? I don't see a transaction anywhere.Looks like my game.co.uk order will get canceled.

I thought it did that's why i was questioning it....when you pay with Paypal using a credit card doesn't it charge immediately?

(I never buy things through Paypal using a personal credit card so I don't know)
What state is NO?FYI, I just stopped by the store in Wayne, NO and they have the NEW Classic in a locked drawer at Customer Service and couldn't see how many there were. Seems be a at least few more.
They're limiting it to one per person so I couldn't even pick up another for anyone. There was nary another person in the store so I couldn't ask anyone to help me purchase one either.
Hope this helps for anyone nearby hoping to get one.
Yeah, me too- or at least, give Prime members first shot at it. I know a lot of people don't like it but it's no different than places like Costco or Sams club where it's members only.I'm hoping when the SNES listing go live on amazon they will limit it to prime members.
NOiforniaWhat state is NO?
