Trying to grab the Blue Controller GS bundle for a friend in the GS app but it's not going through. "CHECKOUT NOW" gives a dummy android popup with no text, and "ADD TO CART" just adds nothing to your cart. Any luck on the GS app for you guys?

I wonder if it was worth it.
Because people will pay for it
I've had the same issue. No luck at all with it.
this isn't their first go at the classic line.
and they could have plenty of time to make as many as they need.
heck... if they were worried about that taking to long I am sure they would have been fine just making a second smaller run of nes classic for this holiday while they got more snes classic made for next holiday.
stock really isn't a good excuse this time around.
No. It's not working here either.
Same email I got, and the only email I received as well.
Who lets their available balance get that low? If you do you probably shouldn't be ordering $120 SNES Classic bundles.
Really? When I bought a Switch a few weeks ago online and my first card didn't cover the full balance it just gave me the screen again to insert another card and it added them up.
When just being a regular virgin isn't enough...be the Mega Virgin
I haven't done a a bit work all day. Got the stupid thinkgeek bundle... still want to get a regular order so I don't get A $45 dollar mushroom plush.
Thinkgeek should be a banned site
Anyone want to scalp me theirs? I'm done with this. I'll glady give my money to a Gaffer than Nintendo at this point.
I got a pre-order in at game stop. Got the call this morning from em at about 10 and rolled through, but I kinda feel bad about it now. As it turns out, the girl working there said that in all fairness I just got lucky. She decided to work from the end of the list to the beginning with the calls rather than the proper way just because she wanted to "mix it up." I know it worked out in my favor, but I can't help feeling like her doing that allowed me to get it when I didn't deserve it. I don't know, now I kinda feel like I stole someone else's rightful SNES, figuratively speaking at least. That being said, this is a gift for my girl, so I gotta eat the guilt. Still though, stoked I got in.....I think. It's just a bit bitter sweet is all.
Means you've authorized them to charge you when they ship.
I got a similar message when preordering from SEs store.
That's my feeling too. It's quite frustrating. At the end of the day apart from SF2 which I don't care about I have a way of playing all these other games so I really need to remind myself of that....

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
He / They
At the very least I am now more than ever rooting for the Switch to get hacked for homebrew so I can make that my SNES classic.
Surprised they even took a list. People at my store said that's definitely not allowed.
Did I miss the Amazon preorder window???
For all of those who may be laughing at people paying $140 for the think geek bundles.... just remember the scalper prices. $255 on eBay and has a whole day left of bidding. NES classic is still selling for $200 currently.

Can't even get that site to load
or just sit outside of a target for a few hours......
The gamestop ones that have like a book and an extra controller for $20-$40 extra I can at least deal with, even though those suck too
The ThinkGeek bundles are just heinous
I'm pretty sure that NES canteen from the $140 bundle was on clearance for like $5 months ago
I wouldn't be opposed to actually hitting up NYC and the Nintendo Store but part of me worries about the shitshow public trans has been and then thinking about what time I'd have to line up for a shot at one.
1000%. They don't even have the excuse of not knowing what demand would be, as they had a similar product in the market last year.
I thought the NES thing was poorly handled. I think this one has been ineptly handled.

(this guy must have paid $140, everybody)
It popped up around 4-5AM. Most of us did.
OK, whew. I wasn't sure if I clicked the wrong thing somehow. I guess "Airbrite, Inc." is ThinkGeek.
Yes while you were sleeping last night.
What happened?
We have some bad news for you.
They don't charge until it ships.
You were probably asleep like a normal person.
lmao is this real life?
Seriously this is violence
Think Geek doesn't charge til they ship.
Nintendo did unspeakable things to us while we all slept
I got it to load once so don't worry. Try later when the madness dies down.
Long shot but does anyone know if ThinkGeek preorders are delivered on launch date or if they are shipped on launch date? Trying to figure out what day to take off work.
I really do hate the culture Nintendo has created around their products.
Being sold out everywhere 30 minutes after the pre orders are up (probably sooner), and legitimately thinking there won't be another opportunity to purchase their product. It is really frustrating.

Nope, I one preorder from U.K shipping to the US At $80. But nice try.
Got one at Gamestop brick & mortar! This GS was beyond helpful - they were sold out, but one 5 minutes down the road had a few left. They let me buy a giftcard, then called that store and ordered w/ the gift card for me.
It's showing up in my Gamestop account as paid in full. This is all absolutely nuts, but so glad it's done! I've still never even seen the original NES classic in person. Don't give up - there are still good gamestop's out there!

But they won't. Because we keep buying
I dont think it charges you just yet if you ordered from TG.
You could use that for the school dance & cry like an anime fan on prom night.
Fuck You ThinkGeek, I am not an animal.
I will not grovel to the level of buying needless pop culture fluff to get the fucking SNES classic.
Fuck off.

Yeah, that's why I bit the bullet on the $140 bundle. It's an extra $60 but Scalpers are going to be charging a lot more than that.
If by some miracle I can get a non-stupid preorder in for normal price then I'll cancel the ThinkGeek one.
