Walmart preorder in for non bundle went to the page and it automatically added it to my cart without waiting in line

Holy shit you're right. Just got one. Yes!

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Best buy kicked me out of the line after a half hour.

lol nice, bought a second one

 

[Poppyseed]

Oh shit just got a bundle on Walmart, too.

 

[polka22]

I got the regular switch and controller bundle at Best Buy. The other combinations are still in line

 

[DragoonKain]

I just got kicked out of line at Best Buy. Whatever.

 

[Poppyseed]

Just got Pro Controller on Walmart, too. The non-bundle is quick to check out with. I expect cancellations. This seemed too easy...

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I got a Mario Kart bundle from Walmart after waiting in the line like a civilized person.

Had one go through at Target, but fraud alert really saved me from that order going through. Phew.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Just got one from Walmart. Didn't wait in any line, but the only way it would process my checkout was if I used Affirm, so I did. Non bundle. Godspeed lads

 

[th4tguy]

Were you in line?

 

[Celcius]

Both of my BB windows still say I'm in line…

 

[Diseased Yak]

Just got a non-bundle at Walmart, seems to have went through ok. Hope something ain't up and they cancel it!

Yeah it was too easy....

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I got a preorder in on the non-bundle on Walmart. I figured that one would have less demand, and it worked out. I'm hoping Nintendo pulls through and i can get a MKW bundle through NSO. Either way, I know I'm good. Also still in line at Best Buy. I got in the first minute. What a joke.

You sir are a lifesaver! Walmart initially gave me a hassle about the payment method and flagged fraud initially, but I got the order to go through and got a confirmation email.

God I hate console launches nowadays.

 

[Platinumstorm]

Did it pop up something obvious? I have a bar at the bottom just telling me I'm in line.

No. It actually took me to the page for the switch 2, and I clicked add to cart. By the time I caught it I had less than 4 minutes to check out. I had to update my address because it wanted to send it to an old apartment. My credit card failed once which seemed to be a Walmart issue, and it went through the second time.

You can add the non-bundle right now without a queue.

How long did you have to wait? I started 17 min late lol

Those bitches had me in line for almost an hour. I randomly went to Target because "fuck it" at that point...and asides from having to refresh about 5 times it went through no issue.

This could've gone worse but it's all because of damned bots and scalpers.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Don't get too excited about Walmart preorders, they are well known for canceling half of them without any reason. This happened with PS5. I'll believe it when I see an actual Switch 2 delivered to me from Walmart. Fuck Walmart

Best Buy are shit as expected, I was randomly kicked out of line. Fuck Best Buy

Target are shit as expected, I was able to spam the Place Order button a hundred times for 10 minutes only for my order to be instantly canceled with 'Technical Issue' given as the reason. Fuck Target

As usual, American retail is a shitshow and only scalpers win. I wish it was legal to kill scalpers and then the problem would solve itself. Fuck scalpers, the actual root cause of all the issues buying anything in America

 

[danklord]

I just pre-ordered a second switch 2, the mk bundle off walmart. Went add to cart instantly. Very skeptical....

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Locked and loaded with Best buy for a MK bundle

 

[jshackles]

If walmart cancels half my orders, I'll still get one

 

[Chiggs]

I really want to get this Best Buy bundle so I can sell the other one to a GAF'er that missed out, but I've been in line for 30 minutes.

 

[th4tguy]

Was able to grab a bundle from Walmart and from target.
Going to try my luck with GameStop tomorrow so I can try to take my boys to their first midnight launch. If I can snag one at GameStop, I'll cancel the others.
If I can't, I'll stick with Walmart sense they are saying they will deliver before 9am that day.

 

[nikos]

Wonder if I can order an MK bundle and non-bundle from Walmart. The limit is one but they're different items. Trying to get one for a friend but not willing to risk both getting canceled.

 

[DryvBy]

FYI Walmart is easy. I grabbed one without a line.

I was waiting in line at Walmart for awhile for the nonbundle and it kicked me out and then I went back to the page and just hit refresh until it let me add it again and was able to put it through no problem I guess they were fixing something I hope it doesn't get canceled

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I had just seen that it was letting me add the bundle straight to my cart just now. Almost pulled the trigger, but that one is too good to be true. And I don't want to Jinx my order that already went through for the non bundle back when the preorders first went live.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

50 minutes, then I saw people were refreshing the please wait page.


Good luck, some are just adding to cart without wait at this point, now those are sometimes failing.

 

[Chiggs]

Tomorrow's Walmart cancellations are going to be epic.

At least Target has the common courtesy to let you know immediately so you can go to bed angry and be done with it.

 

[Simpkin92]

The line just worked for me at walmart for the MK bundle

 

[bender]

Got the MK bundle at Walmart after a 55 minute wait. I've been in queue at BB for 30+ minutes.

 

[danklord]

I feel you. Legitimately I'd love a second one to give to my nephew. Still waiting in Best Buy line just in case.

 

[dolabla]

Best Buy just kicked me out of line after waiting for like 30+ minutes. Ridiculous.

Yea, I heard Target already sent out Cancellation emails. They were definitely overselling some of those MKW Bundles.

They took my money already and sent the confirmation email so I should be good

 

[Chiggs]

Walmart is now showing out of stock. I hate to be that guy...but some of you could be in for a really rude surprise tomorrow.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Looks like in person gamestop is my next bet. Then the Nintendo invite, i can't believe those fucks didn't send it first.

 

[Chiggs]

I am giving Best Buy 10 more minutes. I want to help a fellow GAF'er, but I need to sleep.

 

[Celcius]

I'm sleepy. BEST BUY LET ME INNNNNNN

What are the odds of them cancelling even though they already charged my card?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

 

[Poppyseed]

There's no way Walmart orders aren't getting cancelled.

 

[lachesis]

Finally. One of the lines on BB went thru - the base one. Funny that it was kicked out and the last one out of 3 lines... the other 2 (mk bundle, mk bundle + SD Express) is still going.

Need one for my kid, so may wait for a bit before calling it a night...

 

[Chiggs]

A charged card is usually a good sign. Did you wait in line at all?

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I'm officially giving up on the Best Buy queue. The MKW bundle dream is over. Glad I got a regular one, though.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

[Poppyseed]

They didn't charge your card. It's just a check to see the funds are there.

 

[Chiggs]

Ooof. If that's the case, then it's definitely no guarantee.

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

I surprisingly didn't wait in line, that's the thing….I had been waiting in line for the MK bundle then tried switching to the non-bundle and got through immediately with it.

Yep. Which is why there's something afoot. No way Walmart is letting orders in like this.
