So cool to see the preorder button that doesn't do shit!
It will do this for anything. Server cannot respond to your action and add it to cart because it's too busy. It's like they are getting DDoS right now.

I managed to get to checkout before it crashed. Sucks but this is what I expected, site was getting hammered.
Me neither. Been able to add to shopping cart a few times, never been to the cart and had it in there though, site always hangs.
Website seems down for good now, can't even refresh anything.
Good job the Source. Good job Nintendo. It's stuff like this that just pisses me off about gaming: all I want is Starfox 2, I could care less about the rest of the package as I have the other games and original hardware.

It's not. I am logged in and have the SNES in my cart as of 2 seconds ago.

Should have added a Futureshop style queue

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Futureshop was too good for us.

They have 72 followers, lol, what a joke.
Completely agree. People complaining when companies unexpectedly make their order open, but when they do, none of this bullshit happens. I'd much rather either luck in or luck out than deal with this mess.
THANK YOU!!
It's the deal I've been waiting for since forever.
Going to pick it up in a few minutes!
It's impossible to login, I get the samething also.
Or, you know, Nintendo could stop being fucking retarded for a fucking change. They should just spit a huge disease-infested load of snot into the face of their fans, because it would be less insulting. Fucking tired of crawling over people to try and get a couple of Amiibos, a Switch, or a NES/SNES Classic. Even more tired of cocksucking resellers who aren't even interested in gaming making profits off this fucking shit.

I was actually logged in, had my billing and shipping address all settled and before I could confirm order it kicked me back
I can only get so far is login or guest checkout.

Whoa, the box doesn't say Day One Edition on it anymore. Second print run? It was out of stock for a while...

Same.
I really want one, but I know that this will be the norm leading up to release and it's not going to get any better after that point either. It'll be nothing but tiny weak spurts of stock that are immediately snatched up in and around broken sites.
The Day One Edition version is also in the system and actually five cents cheaper. But it's sold out.
Edit: Looks like thesource.ca is now down for "maintenance"? What a journey this was.
It really is depressing.
I was able to manage two (2!) NES Classic Mini when they initially launched, one for myself and the other for my sister. This was before everyone was out to grab these to re-sell for a profit, since no one expected them to be limited time and/or as in-demand as they were.
With the SNES Classic Mini though, it's especially crushing for me, since this system is my favorite of all time. Having a mini console with a lot of my favorites on it is a dream come true for me, and I can't buy the damn thing. With a LE of a game, it's whatever. I can buy the standard edition and enjoy the experience regardless, even if I do miss out on a few of the additional goodies. For this, though? There's really no replacement, at least if you want that "authentic experience".
You might have just missed it. I remember the last time this went on sale for $30 and the Day One edition still had a few copies left, another listing for a non-Day One edition was already up. Helped me decided to just wait for it to hit $20 before picking it up for my collection since I already have the plat for it.

Not specifically at Best Buy, but other places too. Some places weren't even listing it anymore or said they only had limited quantities.
Looks like it really is a second print though. This has to be the first SE game in a while to have actually sold out its Day One Edition.

Ugh! I have it in my cart! I'm at checkout! It's asking me to login even though I'm logged in! It keeps on crashing beyond this!
(((
(((There's no way I'll be able to manage this, even if the site recovers. I can't even create an account, so even if orders do open up, I'll be behind the rest in ordering.
I was logged in preparation for this 30 minutes in advance and it didn't do much for me either...
The session actually expired and now I can't even relog to my account.
Yeah I think their account/login servers are still down. Any time I'm able to log in it later tells me my session is expired and I need to log in again.

it's so crazy that nintendo has created such a fucked up demand for these classic things that it literally brings any site to its knees when orders for them go live
maybe that would be a hint that, you know, there's pretty high demand for them and they should make more and sell more. but I guess that's not an option?

Wow. :/
I'd feel better if I could at least add the thing to my cart, but I can't even do that. Pre-order button doesn't work.
As long as they get those headlines, they don't care. Sadly.
Maybe I'm wrong, and they will have constant re-stocks of these following through the holidays, but I doubt it.
