SNES Classic Preorder Shitshow Discussion (Please Read Rules in OP)

I'm pretty sure he means autofill. If anyone wants to try to cop something that only has limited numbers, you basically have to use autofil if you want to be fast enough.

No I mean actually having the credit card saved to one's account. I've never been prompted to re-enter my card's info for Target.com. This might be because I recently bought stuff off the site earlier this month.

And the Pre-Order button is finally gone from Target's page.

Only best buy and gamestop had Canadian preorders available and they all sold out within less than 30 seconds :(

Remember when Nintendo said they would have plenty of supply and this wouldnt be like NES classic? This seems like it's even worse.

Lol. I had 3 windows running that script for 2 units.

Ended up with $600 worth o' SNES in my cart a second ago.

And then it errored, of course.

DAMN

I am a lucky bastard. Was randomly checking GAF last night after putting the baby to sleep. Tired as hell being a long ass day. BAM! BB order link goes live and my spirit is instantly replenished.

What a shitshow though. Have no idea why Nintendo is not just flooding the market with these.

I'm glad some people are getting 'em. I might have to do what I did for the NES Classic and just wait outside Target. I was out there 1.5 hours before the store opened and managed to snag one. I'm thinking this time I might have to be outside a little earlier than that lol.

Ah, Target made me enter mine even though I had mine saved. But autofill just filled out everything for me and all I have to do is enter my security code.

Looks like target button is back.

Edit: Disappeared again.

It was sheer crazy luck that I just happened to have to fix a work problem from home late last night, just happened to stumble onto the thread about the Best Buy pre-orders and was able to snag one. It's like you're only allowed to have one if God wills it.

I'm on mobile but the emails say "oh no, we had to cancel!" with no reason given. I did use Apple Pay through the Target app so maybe there was some wonkiness.

That sucks.

Though if it's just you, it may be a payment issue rather than stock.

I was trying for Target but apparently the All-in-One bundle from GameStop went through without telling me as I just saw a confirmation email from GameStop. So... at least I got one, even if it's a bundle..

Why are y'all entering CC info during a transaction? Need to have it saved.
Mine was saved, and I was logged in. I entered the 3-digit code, then it asked for my password. I entered the password, then it asked for my CC (again). I entered that, then it asked for my 3-digit code (again).

It's tricksy.
 
Me and a friend got ours through Walmart, apparently he didn't have his address saved so he he had to type it in before checking out, said he doesn't think he's ever typed that fast in his life lol, he managed to get one too so it must've been some truly god-like speed.

Looks like the Gamestop app isn't available in Canada.

This has been a shitshow for sure. Had them from Best Buy and stolen by bots earlier this afternoon.

I missed out on all the preorders and Target can suck a fat one, I had the thing in my cart at least 5 times and got kicked out on all of them.

I still somehow have my PAL SNES classic for now, though. I had planned on cancelling once I was able to get a US classic, but now it looks like chances are slim.
