Yeah me too. I woke up this morning and Brickseek showed 2 of the 3 24hr Walmarts near me were sold out but the 3rd had 2 in stock. I stopped by on my way to work but the guy said they all went at midnight.
I was going to stop at Best Buy and try to get a ticket then go back at lunchtime but decided I really didn't want one that badly since I can already play all those games on like 10 different devices I own.
I guess I'm just fed up with this BS that happens practically every time Nintendo releases something. Especially a plug and play device like this that should be much easier to get than a normal console.
heh probably true, but lets hope Nintendo dont fuck things up like they did with the NES classic. I have a feeling they are at least trying to fill demand this time...

OMFG the prices on Amazon US / DE / UK. It's absolutely insane. I pre-ordered my SNES Mini for only 50 EUR.

Just got an order in at think geek. We'll see if it holds. Don't feel like running out and checking stores. Hopefully Nintendo does keep a steady stream coming through the holidays. Seems like they did get a good amount out there for launch day judging by the numbers being reported at Targets.

In line at Target, they're just about to open...
There's probably like 75 people here, no idea how many units they have...
Worried... :/

It's somewhere in New York.
I just tagged along with a friend and got lucky.
Maybe you'll get lucky too.

So sad that Im at work, people are at stores with lines shorter than stock availability and target preorder isnt set to deliver until next Friday.
I preordered and lost out by a week. Very sad right now because I was really looking forward to playing this weekend.

How did they not have information? As a chain, they were supposed to give out tickets at 7.

Its weird. I didnt get a shipping email but my wife has UPS alerts and she casually mentioned what do you have coming from ThinkGeek? I was like WHAT?!? The tracking has it set to arrive on 10/4 so you could try signing up for something like that. Its worth a shot.
Hows the stock situation looking for Target stores? And how early could I call Gamestop for an answer?
As I mentioned before, my dad could visit a store at 9:00am. Im just trying to figure out where I should send him.
Asking again. The soonest I can get stock confirmation from Gamestop the better.
Im basically trying to decide whether to have my dad go to Target first or Gamestop. Theyre both virtually next door of each other, but I dont want him waiting around in one store when he could go straight to the other with the available supply.

5th in line at Target and i got hee at 6:30. Only about 8 of us so far. The Walmart i went to at 2am told me they sold out at midnight. This girl just told me she was there at 6am and the guy that was there at 10pm was told they weren't going to sell until 7am. Heard he was pissed and threw a chair, lol.

Another report of nothing from Best Buy. 25+ in the line Im in.
Yep here too.
Only reason I'm staying in line is that with less than 20 people in front of me I figure there's a decent chance I can get one.

Came to Target at opening, no 50. Woo
Both of mine have turned up now, not tried them yet as I'm waiting for delivery of a new TV.
I wasn't sure what I thought of the way they'd dealt with the controller ports on the SNES Mini but now I've messed around with it I really wish they'd dealt with it the same way they did on the NES Mini. I know it would be less authentic but I'd still prefer that.

You are always going to be left at the mercy of local fools to fuck things up.

Gonna try my local toys r us that only has 30 and go camp out with 30 minutes to go until opening 😎
Why should it be much easier to get than a normal console? Just like a normal console they manufacture them and at some point they have to start to sell them to start making money. Demand is high, should they double the price?

Lame. Walmart order shipped, but it looks like it's not coming until Tuesday.

Got one! 
Follow up on my earlier post. Wal Mart opened at 7am. There was a lady that showed up a few mins prior. We walked back. Dept. Manager not there yet. Another manager went back to the security room, got the unopened boxes that had 3 brown boxes with 6 snes classic systems in each.
While waiting for her, two more people showed up. Limit 2 per person. I grabbed two after confirming those behind me would get one. Manager opened all the boxes to confirm. Walked out with 2.

Congrats!! Kinda wish I had gone to target now. Best Buy still hasnt handed theirs out, and I have the feeling itll be 8 before they do. Would have been cheaper to get through target...oh well.
let me guess, ordered 8/25?
Walmart shipping out the 8/25 orders before the 8/22 (and putting them on backorder) is bull.

Waiting at the Target in Alexandria, they have a bunch. I just walked up as they opened and they gave me a ticket (#45) and they probably have about 20 more tickets.
