Sure, but my point was simply that my credit card + pickup order hasn't been canceled yet.

Maybe for everyone on his apartment floor?
Doubtful. Hardware would need to be a large step up and game sizes are too big. You may get like 10 games.
Oh no, she's a scalper. She did the same with the NES Mini.

Perhaps when they put the preorder up the didn't limit the number of orders. After seeing how quickly the orders were coming in they took the page down, determined how many preorders they were going to be given in the initial shipment, and then started canceling orders that exceeded that number?

Ouch. 2 per order is a little harder to defend.
The way my bank works...
You get a pre authorization charge showing up when you order something. If it goes through, then it's charged to the account. If it expires, and the charge doesn't go through, then either you've pre-ordered something that doesn't get charged until shipped, or the order will be canceled. So... that's what I'm waiting to find out.

Walmart may pre-auth, let it expire then charge right before it ships.
I wouldn't get too nervous about the pre-auth expiring.

Walmart doesn't charge until shipped. So, the charge is going to fall off regardless.
I wouldn't be concerned if all these others weren't getting canceled.
Right... which is why I'm waiting to see if the charge falls off, and the pre-order stands, or it gets canceled after the charge is cleared.

Thinking if these preorders survive through Monday, you all will probably be good.

it will go away and the preorder will be there.
I've already preordered stuff from there before.
You paid with a card, so that is how it is supposed to be. Doesn't matter what bank you have.

Mine's still processing.
There's no chance Wal-Mart will cancel every order. That's just a rumor corroborated by self-created chatlogs from those upset that they either missed out or that their order got canceled.

I know how it normally works, and that's what it's doing now. However, since people are showing that their orders have been canceled, I'm still sitting with a little concern. If it doesn't, and it just goes along the way it's normally does, cool.

Seems it was problems with authorizing the card to begin with, so if the authorizations show, you're good.

Could be. It gave me two errors while checking out, changing the payment method worked and mine hasn't been canceled.

My order is still processing. I ordered when it was first posted on craigslist and didn't have any replies. I ordered 2. One for me and one for my third cousin Marco.

When did you get the cancellation email?

Day number 2, preorder still processing? Guys, is it happening??

That's right. It's a pre-authorization charge.
Cool, I figured as such, but thank you for clarifying.
I ordered 3 of them, one for me, one for a canadian friend, & one more for my best friend. Something in the back of my mind feared Walmart would see "ordered 3 on the same account = SCALPER!" & cancel the orders, but thankfully, that might not be the case, especially since I want to ensure my friends get them as well.
Though I might see if I can order one from Best Buy &/or Amazon just as a back-up & then maybe cancel two of the Walmart ones so I don't end up with more than what I need.

Nah, I was told the same thing by a chat rep and my order is still processing. Often reps are misinformed, or things change, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
I'm surprised my order wasn't cancelled, I guess if it survives tomorrow I'll have high hopes for this. I should have ordered another for my sister but when I ordered myself I wasn't thinking and just plowed through to order one and even then I figured that order was going to be too late at like 15 minutes in. Live and learn I guess, just order and ask questions later!

Righteous one
For whatever it's worth, people have been tweeting at Walmart how happy they were to get a preorder and have received congratulatory replies. Feel like I trust that from their official social media account more than some random customer service reps.
https://twitter.com/Walmart/status/889210161243598848 is one example.

As pissed as I'd be to get my order cancelled, it would crack me up after this.

I wouldn't trust either of them. If yours hasn't been canceled, continue to hope for the best.
I haven't said anything about my pre-order because I don't want to jinx it.
This is going to be the post that jinxes it you know
