The "Add to Cart" button...it does nothing!
Yep. Although you'd be excused for not knowing, because they were up for literally a split second, and their site is getting hammered so badly you may not have even known.

YES!!!! Got one!!!!
Order went through and everything with pickup from my local Wally world next Tuesday the 22nd.
Finally.... dang Nintendo - ridiculous to have to go through all of this. Now just to find an extra controller....
EDIT For anyone who wants to try again in this silly lottery tomorrow you may want to do the following in advance:
1) Make sure you have a walmart login and add a credit card.
2) If you are planning on in-store pickup (rather than shipping) make sure you have a "local" walmart already selected. For me the shipping wouldn't have arrived until next Friday (after Thanksgiving) while in-store pickup would be earlier.
3) Logout and log back in a couple of minutes before so you aren't caught having to "login".
What I did after doing the above stuff was to hit F5 over and over while keeping my mouse cursor over the button that normally talks about being notified of more stock - that way if/when you see it change to "Add to Cart" you can just immediately click it and then continue with minimal time wasted and then get in your order as quickly as possible.
You may want to get the walmart app on a smartphone instead of using a computer - sometimes smartphone apps work better (and faster) with online retailers than a web browser. I did not do that and have no experience with the walmart app but it might be an idea...

I'm glad I finally got an extra controller, but ouch at that shipping cost. $6 just to ship the thing, AND it won't even be here for over a week.

Now the controller is out of stock. Wonderful! I had it open when it was still available but none of the damn buttons worked! I tried adding random things to my cart but that didn't work either so it wasn't just the controller but the site in general.

No Wal-Marts in your area you could pick it up from?

Wait what? Yesterday I saw the report that every day at 2pm between the 14th and 18th, Wal-Mart was going to have it. 2pm came around and it didn't happen, and CAG said it was a hoax and the original source wasn't credible. But today it actually happened? I didn't bother since I thought the info wasn't true...
Thats prob the fastest way but does not guarantee anything

I got all the way to the last checkout page with the place order button but by the time I reached that point its out of stock again. I can refresh and it keeps me here so hopefully tomorrow I can just hit place order.
It did happen yesterday. They were just 15 minutes late.
