Half the people buying them are probably flipping them too.

Yeah, I walked into Walmart and the lady there's like "I know what you're here for. It's sold out. We only got 3".

Automatic. Fire up a game and it'll start downloading the patch. If it doesn't download then it's already patched.
Press options and check "Update History" or "Check for Update" for more info as well.

Best buy opens in an hour, should I even bother?

There is probably a line. Might be better to stay where you are and spam EBgames.com or Amazon.
EB puts them up at 10am EST, I bet.

What about EB Games in store? I'm going there to pick up PS4 Pro soon...

Did EB's website already put them up?
Haven't seen anyone mention it around here. Amazon hasn't budged and they never had them up.
Just assume there will be a line of people who will buy it ahead of you. You can try but I suggest getting their ASAP.
Best Buy charged my credit card! w00t!

They want the news that generates from a hot and rare Christmas item to give them an opportunity to mention the Switch.

No. That listing was never in stock. They haven't actually put them up for sale yet.
Edit: Bleh. They want lightning fast then.
Amazon and Toys R Us it is. Glad i got mine already. I am looking for my girlfriend's brother.

So is just Walmart.ca and Amazon left? What about The Source?
The Elite
BOSS
Walmart.ca and The Source both sold their stock online. The Source went up at 3 am and Walmart at 6 am.
The Source says they are online only.
I don't believe Toys R Us has put them up?

Amazon.ca and TRU

I've heard Walmart.ca is getting more online from my manager but I'm not sure how reliable he is haha
Nintendo, I love you, but fuck you and your under shipping bullshit.
The Elite

I'm sure everyone will get more stock it's just a matter of knowing when they will go up.
Yes this is the case. My friend at EB who manages a few stores was notified that Nintendo will continually ship them out batch by batch. Small batches at that but at least this isn't Amiibos all over again.

5PM EST for the Classic on Amazon!
They will try to but honestly the biggest issue with this whole thing is there were no preorders at all. If the Switch has preorders than it should be okay.

The whole "no preorders" thing really screws over us people with school and jobs and helps the greasy scalpers. Bummer.
