So... basically it's time to F5 and cookie clicker the target product page the rest of the day? Plus I need to outlast everyone else obsessively doing the same? This should be fun.

How is everyone getting one on target ive been hitting this pre-order button forever

 

[DeanBDean]

For those of you using Chrome or Firefox, here's a little script for Target that will keep hitting the button every X milliseconds. Open your console (google it) and paste this in

window.setInterval(() => {
  const preOrderButton = document.getElementsByClassName('sbc-add-to-cart');
	if(preOrderButton[0]) {
		preOrderButton[0].click()
    }  
}, 5000)

It will click the button every 5000 milliseconds/5 seconds in this case.

WTF TARGET WENT THROUGH...

I was in cart. I didn't have the item in cart, but it was in "Saved for later". I kept on trying and it kept on saying OOS.

I hit "Checkout" with an empty cart, and at checkout the cart showed SNES Classic.

So weird!

Where did you click "Checkout"? I don't see it on that page.

Doesn't work, says server can't process request.

I went through the app and got a bundle just now. Better than nothing I guess

Already sold out

Everyone adding clicker bots to Target, have you considered that you might be killing the site for yourself and others, making it even harder to get through?

And the GameStop site doesn't even load now.

Go to settings, try to change your address, it'll force you to login again, then add CC info.

got one in my cart but site is dying

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Where did you click "Checkout"? I don't see it on that page.

On mobile at cart it says "I am really to check out"

AND I GOT ONE MORE. WTF IS HAPPENING!!

 

[Brinbe]

lol gamestop's servers are the wooooooooooorst

while it likely isn't helping the site, it's also quite likely that if you don't keep trying you will miss out.

 

[Team Filler]

Just saw the thinkgeek bundles on Wario64's twitter feed, man what a fucking scumbag company. Would make sense that they're owned by GameStop now, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of their allotted units get held back for these usurious bundles.

Lol, can't add to cart, assuming gone.

 

[Horns]

GS site is getting hammered. This is the third time today I've put it in my cart and cannot fucking pay for it.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

AND I GOT ANOTHER FROM TARGET. WTFFFFF

 

[Kusagari]

GameStop and ThinkGeek must not use the same IT people because TG has a vastly superior website design.

I doubt that a slow "clicker bot", at least like one that I posted, would have a significant impact on the site. The result of the click just sends a request, one that looks to already be heavily optimized because it comes back extremely quickly. Target's API is surely designed to handle this volume of requests, I'm not suggesting some kind of crazy scheme that would make hundreds/thousands of requests per second.

Sell it to meeeee

 

[7roject28]

Oh look, Gamestop site is up after ThinkGeek sold out. Can't check out though. Site is fucked.

 

[Blizzard]

Why don't you give it to a gaffer who doesn't have one. Many of us, like me, have never been able to get through and have missed about 5 releases thus far.

 

[Aztechnology]

AND I GOT ANOTHER FROM TARGET. WTFFFFF

You running a click bot or something. This shit is exhausting.

 

[friskykillface]

[CharminUltra]

GS site getting nuked from orbit.

 

[rhino4evr]

Sorry guys, but this is ridiculous. Not worth it. Like at all.

 

[LowSignal]

Target might as well lock preorders behind some elaborate text adventure game embedded in the page.

Better than mindlessly clicking this button over and over.

It would prevent the bots from buying them up

 

[Brinbe]

looking forward to this getting fucked up once i try checking out

 

[Timeaisis]

Yeah, adding to cart ain't happening.

 

[140.85]

That poor Target server.

 

[maxcriden]

GS took it out of my cart.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Man, fuck Nintendo.

GS site giving me runtime errors now.

I'm assuming it's down and who knows if I'll be on a break when it comes up again.

Ugh.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I have one already but I'm going to click for the hell of it on Target and see if I can get one for a Gaffer.

 

[LastPadawan]

Ooh pick me please

 

[(mat)]

I have one already but I'm going to click for the hell of it on Target and see if I can get one for a Gaffer.

I considered that, but I'm worried I'll make it worse.

 

[wesker83]

On a side note I seriously hope their website being down the entire day hurts Gamestop's bottom line. They deserve to fail with bullshit like the ThinkGeek bundles. Just feel bad for the employees, not much they can do when greedy management drives the company into the ground.

 

[7roject28]

Trying to cart at Gamestop
Oops Game Over
Oops Game Over
Finally get to it to cart
Oops Game Over X10
Finally get to checkout
Oops Game Over X20
Sorry out of stock
Refresh page, still says available

 

[Brinbe]

sold out already? lmao

Awesome online shopping experience today. Just topnotch stuff all-around by these retailers

 

[ahoyhoy]

Third time being cart jacked today.

 

[Juraash]

God damnit this is so awful. I was checking out and GS just errors into the fucking ground. Now Wario has posted about it so I'm definitely fucked. Why am I still trying...

 

[Like the hat?]

Target took it away from my cart twice now

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Got it in cart, gone when reviewing order. Torture!

 

[Doc Holliday]

Fuck you Nintendo!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

TARGET. IS. BLESSING. ME!!!!!!!!

 

[Afrocious]

Got to the end of checkout for Target for the 3rd time and no go.

 

[superNESjoe]

It was in my cart again on Target!!! Ahhh

 

[smokeymicpot]

Gamestops site is shit.

 

[VeryGooster]

Come the fuck on, Target.

Had to confirm my card. Entered it no problem and then my cart deleted.
