went to the best buy in the city with all the old people. they were doing ticketing so it was barely a line but they seemed to have about 50+ units and I was like 37 (getting there like 5 minutes before open). again I choose the best buy where all the retired people live so that could explain that.
I'm a grown ass man and my dad just texted me to let me know that he stopped by a GameStop this morning and managed to get one for me because he knew I couldn't line up this morning.
You guys.....I love my dad. Same dude who lined up at 4am after a gig to get me a GameCube on launch day when I was 10. It was a Hanukkah gift but my parents couldn't give me *just* the system so I got the system, a memory card, Luigi's Mansion, and Rogue Squadron all on day one.
Fuck I am lucky, and I'm not talking about getting a SNES classic

though holy shit I got a SNES classic.
63rd at target, they had at least 80
17th at Best Buy I got my ticket and left and just picked it up now
So I got one for me and one for a friend who is out of the country for work right now. It wasnt as bad as the nes shitshow but the fact that people had to line up for this in the morning was insane

Hori Fighting Commander pad is out today.
Waiting to hear if an old 8bitdo SNES pad works with an 8bitdo NES mini receiver.
An 8bitdo pro pad with analogue is out later this year.
Lol right after I posted that I found the ones you're referring to.
Ordered em for Sunday delivery.
I believe as a whole they are getting near the same amount, but there are many more Walmarts than TRUs, so each individual TRU gets more. I saw Target's total inventory was about 100,000 and I've heard similar for other retailers.

I love how Amazon US has SNES Classics for Treasure Trove but their preorders won't even arrive until most likely the 11th of October.
That's so stupid.

I guess that's why TRU filed for Chapter 11. Must've cost them a pretty penny to get that many

My Xbox One powered my NES Mini through the USB slot so I assume the SNES one is the same? I haven't got mine yet so can't test for sure but I'm gonna assume it's hopefully the same.
The Xbox didn't even need to be powered on.
Kinda funny in a way, them working together like that.
Still have a few hours until my wife can pick up my SNES Mini, I'm actually a bit excited for it despite having played 90% of the games many many times over already. I love my NES, it's why I started playing games to begin with, but the SNES was where Nintendo stuff started getting really 'meaty' experience wise, not sure how else to word it haha.
Thanks for this, I'll check it out.
It's called an example, you goofball.
People don't notice as much when large companies make these decisions.
But if you want to be dense, look at the Apple Airpods. They have had a 2 month backorder since release. Only in the last few weeks has that dropped to 3-5 days. I guess Apple is also artificially limiting supply as well?
Or pay attention to the iPhone X next month. It will surely have a backorder as well. I'm sure Apple said "Nah, we have enough money, we should probably make these scarce so people will recognize our brand and talk about it more".
Your reasoning is asinine.

Ah thought so. I'm east coast, so I doubt my local BB would have that many this late lol.
I'm in LA but I imagine they'll be in the usual cities.
It was a poor choice friend.

OMFG Got one from treasure truck in Los Angeles. I'll pick it up later. I'm so excited!!
25th
Why it took them till today to say they couldn't fulfill my order I'll never know. Shouldn't have been able to place it to begin with if they didn't have inventory

UK here, my order from Amazon was supposed to be delivered today but as of 4.23pm it hasn't shown up. I'm guessing I won't be getting it today, despite a customer service rep earlier telling me it was "definitely" on the van for delivery today.
Maybe your Wal-Mart one will become my backordered one!
same internals, so it should.
