I'm trying variations of the amiibo URLs on GameStop to see if I can find the page even though its not up yet

 

[Saint Gregory]

Well this guarantees that Gamespot will never announce when these things are going up for preorder in advance ever again LOL

 

[iShouldGoPro]

PK Freeze

I started lawling in line

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

Shoot, I don't have time at work to sit and refresh the page on my phone...

 

[EroticSushi]

One dude got his order in and the entire store cheered.

 

[Sillution]

Im standing in front of the register watching the page not load...

 

[Einbroch]

Nintendo: "What? Gamestop's system crashed? The demand for PAC-MAN must be through the roof! Stop production on everything and get more PAC-MEN out!"

 

[The Shogun]

Ness is not on GS.com for those trying.

He's in store order only

Spoiler

for now

 

[prateeko]

Shit, I feel asleep and missed everything on Best Buy?!

 

[weevles]

oh man I step away 5min to take a dump and this happens.

 

[SpotAnime]

This is like getting Comic-Con badges. And this is why I stopped trying for Comic-Con badges. Why am I doing this to myself...

 

[petethepanda]

Argh. This would have been perfect timing for a free window at work, if it doesn't go up until later I'll almost certainly miss it.

 

[kirby_fox]

I wonder if they really sell more by talking about it on Twitter...instead they make it insanely hard and crash the site.

Good plan guys.

 

[Tabasco]

People can't even pre-order in-store?

For those of you at the store, are you just waiting there for the store site to fix itself?

 

[-Horizon-]

Sorry for you guys but watching this from the sidelines is hilarious!

It kind of is funny.

And Lucas will probably get an amiibo too right?

 

[Speedwagon]

Even when you get through on the site, Ness isn't up.

Web-In-store gets it earlier.

 

[Tanukid]

Gamestop just SDed off the internet! 8<

 

[Craig Majaski]

Even when you get through on the site, Ness isn't up.

That's because GameStop isn't putting them up on the site until later - only web in store for now.

 

[RootCause]

Sorry for you guys but watching this from the sidelines is hilarious!

Lol can't wait to quit this mess once I'm done with the smash set. Never doing this again. Not even for the next smash.

 

[Mesoian]

Whole lot of nadda going on on Amazon right now.

Ebgames.ca is BOWING UNDER THE STRAIN!

 

[Crayolan]

Spent the first half of the week dealing with Club Nintendo's shitty servers and now the second half is spent on Gamestops. Yay~

 

[Owari]

Third in line at gamestop. Fuuuuck this

This is why gamestop is satan

 

[AdanVC]

One dude got his order in and the entire store cheered.

My god...

 

[Pompadour]

This is ridiculous.

 

[dehydratedbabies]

Nothing is working in store. Not a single one sold yet

 

[GitarooMan]

Nintendo: "What? Gamestop's system crashed? The demand for PAC-MAN must be through the roof! Stop production on everything and get more PAC-MEN out!"

We need more Bort license plates in the Gift Shop. Repeat, we are sold out of Bort license plates.

 

[DryvBy]

Faster refresh page: http://m.gamestop.com/Browse/Search...sort=ReleaseDate&sortAssending=false&filters=

 

[SaviourMK2]

"lets announce pubically the release time of the EXCLUSIVE NESS amiibo! WHAT CAN GO WRONG?"

 

[spindashing]

GOD SAVE US ALL

 

[PadWarrior]

Gamestop just SDed off the internet! 8<

Rofl!!! This got me laughing in my office

 

[JohnTinker]

Standing in line at GS now, I'm third in line and the poor guy's system crashed

I have to get back to work

 

[zulux21]

man... this is what I am imagining right now..
first person shows up to gamestop a fan of earthbound lines up to get ness..

second person shows up to gamestop just a fan of amiibos in general, thinks stupid scalper gonna keep me from getting mine to the first person.

the third through 9th people do the same as the second person are just amiibo fans but hate everyone else in line for being scalpers.

the 10th person is actually a scalper and is happy because he is merely 10th in line and should be able to get his product.

people 11-20 come in and are just fans and want amiibos but are angry because they are 11-20th in line and all the freaken scalpers before them are going to steal them and potitally get multiple copies to sell because anyone that comes before them can't legitimately want them

@_@

 

[Ibuki]

That's because GameStop isn't putting them up on the site until later - only web in store for now.

When was this news posted? As far as I knew it was 3pm CT for both.

 

[Speedwagon]

Ness is not on GS.com for those trying.

edit: read that wrong lol

 

[rocketskates]

Sitting first in line at my GameStop.

ALL I WANT IS MY LUCINA AND ROBIN.

GameStop servers are so fucked up at the moment.

 

[Piggus]

Sorry for you guys but watching this from the sidelines is hilarious!

Hahaha yes it is. We have officially gone back in time/through dimensions and people are experiencing the Pokemon card obsession all over again.

 

[CorvoSol]

There's not much chance of getting the EBGames Canada to go through, either.

 

[RootCause]

It kind of is funny.

And Lucas will probably get an amiibo too right?

Hope not.

 

[Crayolan]

Do you have an estimate on how long he'll stay in stock in WIS? It takes like 20 minutes to get to my closest gamestop.

 

[Calamari41]

Fuck this, I'm ready to just pay a premium to scalpers for far fewer Amiibos at this rate. Ness, Lucas, and Yarn Yoshi instead of the whole lineup.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

fuck nintendo and fuck gamestop, this is so frustrating

 

[weevles]

gamestop dot com is getting hammer time'd.

 

[Jobbs]

Fuck this, I'm ready to just pay a premium to scalpers for far fewer Amiibos at this rate. Ness, Lucas, and Yarn Yoshi instead of the whole lineup.

yeah. you can imagine the extra you pay to a scalper may almost be worth avoiding all this time and hassle.

 

[fernoca]

Hope not.

The Direct confirmed both Lucas and Mewtwo will get an amiibo.

 

[Speedwagon]

Is Gamestop.com loading for anyone?

 

[sonto340]

In store network crashes out. Some guy ran out and slammed the door.
The thirst is real.

 

[The Shogun]

Our poor employees are probably in panic mode right now :-(

The thirst for Amiibo is all too real

 

[EroticSushi]

3 people with their friends and family member and three little kids saying they're only grabbing it to resell. This is horrible.
