Don’t know why anyone expected Best Buy to ship to DELIVER on launch day. They never do that for consoles unless you’re next door to the warehouse.

 

[Cmerrill]

Are there supposed to be more Snes mini available tonight at some point online?

They always have for me. At this point I'd be content with them just letting me know my shipment has been delayed. Just give me some kind of communication.

Mississauga is not far! But its really dumb to have Friday release dates for physical products.

I bet you’re in Ontario or BC. The rest of Canada is a write off.

Pretty much 50/50 for release day delivery for Windsor. But Ontario ends at London anyways.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

What stores are 12 tonight and which ones have stock for SNES at 9/other times tomorrow?

 

[khaaan]

I live in the lower mainland BC. Scalpers and RFD'ers up the ass. 7 should be early enough about 3 hours before they open to guarantee me one.

I went to my local EB to check (Southern Ontario) around 8pm and they said they have some units but definitely not enough to meet the demand they're expecting. Dude said a couple people already said they're coming by in a few hours to line up -_-

I'll try my luck at 7am I guess.

I assume this was posted in here already?

Hmmm if true maybe I should forget staying up all night to try and get an order online, and just show up at Walmart for 7 am tomorrow morning.. there is one only a few minutes from me that says 36 in stock. Which seems like not enough

The fact Walmart is getting 20,000 is enough for me to believe this thing won’t be as hard to get as the NES classic. First shipment will be tough but after that, open.

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Wow that spreadsheet is handy. 36 at the one I was planning to go to at 7am.... wonder if there will be a line up

 

[Kiro]

My BB SNES shipped a few hours ago, seems like all is normal. I expect it do be delivered tomorrow (Ottawa), as BB and Amazon usually ship it the night before and it arrives the following day.

 

[cube444]

108 available at the Wal-Mart on 1900 Eglinton Ave E, Scarborugh.

Anyone going to that one?

 

[firehawk12]

Really hoping Amazon does something.

 

[Madness]

Isn't ebgames going to have 500 more preorders for midnight est aka 9pm pst?

 

[daftstar]

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Feel like I won't get a chance online at midnight for EB so just sleep now and try early morning. Good luck everyone.

 

[isny]

Anyone planning to line up in Ottawa?

 

[BulletSmoke]

damn my walmart opens at 7am w/ 66 apparenlty in stock, dunno if i can wake up that early....

What did that last, 20 seconds? What a waste, I knew I should have went to bed and just try and get up early for Walmart.

The Super NES Classic Edition is now available online, while supplies last. http://bit.ly/2ywes8N

But I didn't see a thing....

I didn't a thing and my refreshes were half a second, so I don't know. How does someone even pay for the product in that span of time? :/

 

[Cmerrill]

It was never available to me, and I was there and refreshing.

Fuck you, Nintendo.

 

[pestul]

Got one on ebgames.ca ... Fuck yeah!

 

[DJ_Lae]

Yeah, put me in the refreshing every second or two camp and I didn't see it go in stock once.

Site was pretty responsive, though.

Maybe you do have to have a bot set up?

 

[whitehawk]

Same Sitch here

 

[zroid]

been refreshing constantly for the last 10 minutes, never saw a thing

 

[pestul]

As soon as the site came up from 404 I typed snes classic in the search. Took two attempts after the limit one stock warning and I got it. I never get things like this so it feels damn good.

 

[chrono01]

+1

 

[Sniffynose]

+100

So lame this shit isn't even worth the hassle anymore

You may as well throw in the towel, a few lucky people got one so it went live... must have sold out in seconds... it's over

 

[Grimsen]

Welp, time to go line up I guess

 

[DJ_Lae]

The best part is that I know that this is what will happen on every little spurt of stock that comes in at various places. Unless you have bots set up, are incredibly lucky, or locally know someone working at a store or hang out for hours, it's going to be the NES all over again.

I'd like to just be able to buy one, at $99, without jumping through a ton of hoops.

 

[chrono01]

How could it sell out in seconds when you need time to enter payment after adding it to your cart? I don't know how that's physically possible.
