hmm.. 70-90 doesn't seem like much then. i'm sure some people got turned away correct?
does receiving a ticket mean you secured one?

I can back up this statement at my best buy too. Everyone who lined up w/o preorder (estimating about 75 ppl) and they still have like 20 or so fliers available for ppl. Ppl are still rolling in righf now and able to grab a system.
Nah. Non analog triggers kill it for me.

Overnight delivery is pretty good.

Lmao, I feels. But in all seriousness, just use your regular shipment time as an estimate. Lately for me it's 9:30am, so I hope the trend continues

Just got to my Best Buy a couple of minutes ago, and I'm surprised at how many people are here. Was expecting only about 30 or so, but there's well over 50.

Midnight! Merry Switchmas!!
I've learned to go with in store pick-up for releases I'm really anticipating. I hate that feeling of waiting around all day for Amazon, not knowing when they're going to arrive (if at all).I tried setting UPS to let me pick up the package tomorrow instead of having to wait for it. Unfortunately trying to do that wouldn't let me pick it up until Monday.
Sorry you can't get it sooner, but just try and keep yourself busy and the time will fly by.

Thankfully my Amazon orders of the Switch and Zelda shipped on time and are expected to arrive at my office tomorrow.
On the other hand, Best Buy shipped out my other Switch late AF and it's not expected to arrive until next Monday. Not really an issue for me but does anyone know if complaining will get me anything? If that we're my only preorder I would be livid.

Miraculously, got a ship notification from gamestop earlier today.
Will be here Saturday or Monday, either way is fine because I'll play Nier Automata until it arrives.

Yeah, thankfully it's a warm night here in Portland. Looks like I should be able to avoid the rain too, though that's always a gamble. I have a 25ish minute bike ride home, but I have a waterproof backpack, so my goods will be fine. I'll just throw my clothes in the dryer when I get home and curl into bed and play some Zelda.
How close are you to the facility? Amazon doesn't put shit out for delivery until 5pm and I get it on the same day for most items

Wow, only myself and two others preordered the Neon. Huge crowd for grey.
Just got home and I'm hyped to set it up! The GameStop employees were dressed as Link and Mario.

For those who preordered at Best Buy, did yall just show up at midnight and wait in a different line to pickup? I drove past there after work and saw about 30+ people outside, dont really want to wait for all of them before I pickup...maybe ill get it tomorrow morning.
