Details about preordering, you will have to go in store to try it out.

From Slickdeals:

 

Unfortunately you must visit a Best Buy store to take advantage of this deal as it is currently unavailable online. Simply go to Customer Service at Best Buy and ask for an OMS for SKU #7522006 (Canada SKU is #10172249). You will have the option for shipping, which is free. This is a good option for those who already have the game and do not want to buy four new Gamecube controllers from Gamestop. I just got back from Best Buy and pre-ordered it for $19.99.

I was just going to post this after reading about it on Wii U Reddit and after getting back from BBY.  I can confirm it works as I ordered 2.  The customer service rep at first said none showing in any stores near us.  I explained that she has to look in the OMS system and check the warehouses, not the store inventories.  A manager walked by and showed her how to do it.  I ordered them as store pickup but you can also get shipped to your house.

In for 20.

/Probably an actual post on SD (or some of us on CAG.)

Not to be the bad guy here, but I feel like these are just going to be canceled

My store had a 10 dollar off "I'm sorry for not having the actual bundle in" discount on the adapter.  It's been over a month, but I wonder if they're still going to honor it....

I wouldn't count on it. Nintendo has pretty much stated more are on the way (unlike Amiibos). They foolishly underestimated the demand.

I mean I hope they do bring them back and make them available. But to me, this doesn't sound like them being available. To me it sounds like a clever way to trick the system to let you preorder when they eventually do come back - when that is, nobody knows.

I hope it works out for those that do it, but I wouldn't bank on it

Thanks OP, got this to work at my Best Buy. I printed out the Reddit post and brought it to customer service and they placed the order for 2 for me. They couldnt change it to ship to store but shipping was free and the receipt and email confirmation says I'll receive it on the 1/12/15

[Nintendonly]

Just placed an order for 2 of them. Ship date is supposedly Jan. 12.

[elbarto1]

Thanks for the heads up. Will attempt a preorder tomorrow

[Ferrari Racer]

No go at my store. They said it's completely sold out.

How can they be sold out of a pre-order? You sure you didn't have a neckbeard 'tard just looking at the name of the product and telling you they are out of stock?

Idk. He said he followed the instructions on the reddit link, used the OMS, and couldn't order one.

[Kenmeii]

Worked just fine for me. I still have reservations about getting it in soon but I'm supposed to pick mine up Jan 2 in store. Here's hoping.

[ya_boy_mario]

ya boy mario preordered one at gamestop (with game & controller) . shipping confirmation came in email this morning stating i will get it on the 2nd

 

here's hoping nintendo starts making more than 6 of these things a month.

[thereefernander]

Confirmed available for OMS order in my area. At least the check said so haven't followed through with an actual order.

FTFY

[elbarto1]

This did not work for me. The lazy ass employee just said it is sold out.

Meh.

[razgriz417]

Update: Just got shipping confirmation (tracking #s haven't updated yet though)

[Aleth]

Ordered yesterday, shipped out today. It says I should expect them on Jan 2nd

[EddieRoadDogg]

Just went to my local store. Guy says they are completely sold out. Just missed it by that much I guess.

[ayob]

[Nintendonly]

Got shipping confirmation and tracking numbers. Woo-hoo

update. UPS guarantees i get my package by tomorrow.

 

very stoked right now

From reading the instructions and comments on other sites, it sounds like availability depends on whether or not the distribution warehouse in your area has any on hand or not. So, that could explain why some people were successful and others not. That said, was anyone successful in the DFW, Texas area? Contemplating making a trip back to see if I can land one, but would rather save the time and gas if someone has already tried and got shot down.

[Rick4Life]

Tried this. Unavailable in Houston. If someone in Houston gets it to work please let me know.

[OnChkMnDS]

Ran out in Atwater too

[SPORK94]

Los Angeles no go tried several warehouses. said it was available then wouldn't order damn!

[elbarto1]

I hope they arrive in store but I doubt I'll have luck. Guess I'll just keep hunting. At least these are being restocked! Congrats on you lucky few that got one!

[segasonic128]

I am going to check in Iowa/Nebraska this weekend!   = )    thanks OP
