Fuck. Got one to add to cart on Target twice, but couldn't get through checkout before either one was taken out of my cart.

 

[Trojita]

And I didn't get any. ;_;

 

[ryan299]

Looks like no birthday present for me.

 

[Darknight]

How do you stop the chrome cheat? lol I dont want to lose the item as soon as its added to cart.

 

[TheSuperSakura]

Well I don't want to sound like a downer but I'm throwing in the towel...I have tried and tried and tried at every opportunity today (sans Amazon and Best Buy this AM) and have not gotten one yet. :|

 

[425kid]

OMG! I got one from Target. I wanted the Japanese/European version but got burned last time with NES. Purple buttons doesn't matter. OMG. Thanks guys.

 

[OmegaFax]

I got one from Target. Sheer stupid dumb luck.

"Stupid dumb fu.... the Hell" and then I scrambled around getting all my payment info and ordered.

 

[Head.spawn]

What time did Amazon go live?

 

[Agent_Carnage]

I would hate to see what launch day will bring. Its going to be a clusterfuck more so than last year with the NES Classic.

Nintendo may of upped Supply but the demand rose too so there is no net gain on products made. Its probably worse than the NES classic.

 

[sixteen-bit]

me today

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Fuck. Got one to add to cart on Target twice, but couldn't get through checkout before either one was taken out of my cart.

same.

 

[inner-G]

I hope my 2 from Amazon have hold

Had 2 cancelled from the Walmart fiasco and was crushed. I had already told my brother I had him a preorder

 

[Sanke__]

This has been a rollercoaster of emotions. One for the ages. Helped a co-worker get one at Target. Helped a friend get one at Gamestop.

I think I need a drink to fully digest what the madness of today has been, which started at 3:00 am for me.

Plenty of people started at 3am and haven't been able to get 1, let alone 3

 

[DarknessTear]

I got one via Target finally. Question... does Target charge the full pre-order cost right away or does it just take an authorization charge first and then just charge before shipping?

 

[Juraash]

I'll be very curious to see how these target orders pan out. On the one hand, it seems like they are taking a high amount. But on the other pre-orders for the European version we're open for hours in total.

It's a long way to launch though, lots of time to get cancelled on.

 

[LucidMomentum]

same.

Four times for me.

Each time I could feel Reggie laughing at me.

I AM LUCIDMOMENTUM, HOLDER OF THE L.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

So, any word on who might have them next?

Jesus I sound like a crack fiend

 

[mariosbrother]

Didn't this happen with the Majora's Mask N3DSXL? If I remember correctly, it resulted in a bunch of orders being cancelled.

Those were a total nightmare.

 

[sojour]

What time did Amazon go live?

4 AM Eastern Time last night, apparently.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I got one from Target. Sheer stupid dumb luck.

"Stupid dumb fu.... the Hell" and then I scrambled around getting all my payment info and ordered.

Yeah I didn't even take the time to review everything like I normally would. I could have paid $500 and not even have known it. Every microsecond counts. No time to think

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

After 6 cart failures I throw in the towel. Goodluck gaf. I shall prepare myself for a long overnight stay at my closest bestbuy next month.

 

[alr1ght]

What time did Amazon go live?

It was like 4:30 AM EST this morning. Lasted about 20 minutes.

 

[Mysterious]

How do you stop the chrome cheat? lol I dont want to lose the item as soon as its added to cart.

Close the tab lol

 

[Ceravic]

How do you stop the chrome cheat? lol I dont want to lose the item as soon as its added to cart.

I right clicked on my cart, opened in new tab, and closed the tab with the chrome cheat in it.

 

[commish]

I was just able to order one from Gamestop using the mobile app. Got my confirmation email. It's one of those shitty bundles with the controller but my time is worth more than money and I can always return it if I get an easy pick-up somewhere else.

Thanks. Got an order in. Now I can cancel that fucking mega man helmet.

 

[SecondCitySaint]

So, any word on who might have them next?

Jesus I sound like a crack fiend

My friend that works at Nintendo said eBay has plenty in stock!

>_> sorry

 

[Link_enfant]

The new listing on Amazon (from which it was available during the night) doesn't work anymore, gives an error page. Why?
The original listing hasn't changed though, but pre-orders never opened there.

 

[Timeaisis]

Well, I think target is over...
3 cart ghosts. 2 cc inputs. Now nothing.

 

[TheGrue]

Chrome cheat never works for me. I hit F12, put it in, hit Enter, and nothing happens.

 

[captainwhat]

Oh man, I got one for myself from Wal-mart, and I got one for my brother via Target.

I can finally rest.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

My friend that works at Nintendo said eBay has plenty in stock!

>_> sorry

LMAO

All in good fun lol

 

[crpav]

I'm having flashbacks to when target took orders for the majora's mask 3ds after it sold out and cancelled them.

You just had to remind me didn't you? I recalled trying to order that and sure enough looked back through my past orders there it is with it's cancelled status.

 

[greatnorthern]

nowinstock sent me no texts or emails today. Hey, awesome.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

LETS GOOOOOOO, GAF!

 

[Sarobi]

Okay! So... after spending a while on the GameStop app I was finally able to click "place order" with PayPal.. but heres the thing.. the app gave me an error and acted as if I didn't complete the order, but PayPal sent me emails saying they went through.

In fact, in sent me two emails saying I have 2 charges pending with two different transaction numbers?? I have no idea what this means. Do I have have 2 orders? Is this even going to go through?

 

[Nicko]

nowinstock sent me no texts or emails today. Hey, awesome.

Me either. I think they got such an influx of new users with the Switch release that their servers are completely crippled.

 

[Banjotanooki]

LETS GOOOOOOO, GAF!

You're awesome!

 

[shira]

me today

I got two W's, stay in you Lane

 

[TheSuperSakura]

LETS GOOOOOOO, GAF!

Nice for those that ordered it...

 

[Pathfinder]

I'm sure this has been lamented upon many times already in this thread, but I had notifications set for Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, and not a peep from any of them before they went live.

 

[OriginalPoe]

Oh now THIS is shady - GameStop's site goes down, refers you to ThinkGeek:

 

[Barry Burton]

Thanks. Got an order in. Now I can cancel that fucking mega man helmet.

I dunno...don't do something you might regret later!

 

[Darknight]

Close the tab lol

I closed the window with the code and still doing it.

I right clicked on my cart, opened in new tab, and closed the tab with the chrome cheat in it.

Guess this is the only way.

I had 2 but when I was away. So I cliicked on it once I saw it and they were gone Oh well.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

That target script for Chrome that GAFer posted



worked for me. I recommend using that in a separate window and hoping for the best. I actually had two in my cart before noticing

Thank you Santa!

Made sure to sign in and have all my CC up to date too.

How do you stop the chrome cheat? lol I dont want to lose the item as soon as its added to cart.

Weird, it was actually adding to the cart on my.

 

[Sojiro]

My target order said estimated delivery Oct 6th-10th, I'm guessing that's a second batch of consoles coming in.

Yeah noticed that as well, but I don't even care, I will take a couple weeks delay over most likely missing out on it completely .

 

[Afrocious]

LETS GOOOOOOO, GAF!

Swag city

 

[Zen Aku]

So the sketchy SNES page on Amazon from earlier this morning is now go..? I know it's not available anymore but what happened?

 

[Smidget]

LETS GOOOOOOO, GAF!

Yeah... I'd totally trust a random customer service rep on chat lol

Don't stop looking still!

 

[stupei]

Oh now THIS is shady - GameStop's site goes down, refers you to ThinkGeek:

The ThinkGeek bundles have been sold out for a while.

Though I hear a Mega Man Helmet one might be available soon.

 

[Afrocious]

So the sketchy SNES page on Amazon from earlier this morning is now go..? I know it's not available anymore but what happened?

They saw that user from earlier order 68 consoles and realized they made a terrible mistake.
