Something's off. The order went through (notified via PayPal), but I'm not seeing the actual order on my account....

Got both of them now at least I feel confident either Bestbuy or Wal-Mart will work out.

But people received Nowinstock alerts, so it's not a different URL?
All us July cancels got "confirmations" as well. We got order numbers, we got confirmations, we got our CC info taken down, the whole 9 yards. Then a week later...
Take anything and everything that comes from Walmart with a couple tons of salt. Don't believe anything until you actually get shipping information.

I'm glad we reached the stage where everyone is comfortable admitting to preordering multiples, no fucks given.
No wonder there are stock shortages. Imagine if everyone bought five PS4s instead of one, Sony would be having stock issues too

Confirmation email received, order is in my account. Cool.
Time to wait...

I mean I just got 3 from Walmart because it's a gift for 2 of my best friends and my boyfriend.

This was me too. I scored 7 at Walmart. Added to my 1 at Best Buy and my 2 orders at Amazon (1 per order now) that makes a total of 10. More than enough to have as gifts and to still save some for a rainy day. I'm modding one into a RetroPie for sure.
The funny thing about this is, most likely you will order 3 from Walmart, 3 from Best Buy, 3 from Amazon, and so on.. because you never know wtf will happen and might end up with 15 units! Hooray! It's ok to be a closet scalper.

Why do you need 10?
I hope Walmart cancel orders that are above one. With limited stock they shouldn't allow people to get 7 or 4.

Moments after posting my last one, 'Order Received'.

Probably because most of us want to get one for a friend or family member either because they aren't able to keep up with when listings go up & such or as gifts.I'm glad we reached the stage where everyone is comfortable admitting to preordering multiples, no fucks given.

I see nothing with ordering 2 or 3, maybe 4 tops. One for yourself, then a few as gifts or helping someone else get one. It's when you buy 5 or more ($400+ total) that it starts to seem more questionable/suspicious to people.

If you wanna help someone else get one then you send them the link and tell them to order it.
Some people take forever to react to texts. By the time they see it, the listing would have been gone for quite a while.

Well that's tough.
People shouldn't be allowed to order multiple items especially when there's actually people who waiting for these listing and still can't order because people order 4.
you must be new here
personally attempting to get 3 extras for sister/cousin/friend. people who arent able to sit on a computer/wario64's feed all day like me

In this case, it's because Nintendo keeps fucking over its own customers. If the Walmart debacle didn't happen a month ago, if the weird Amazon email didn't get sent today, no one would be panicking and ordering from multiple retailers in the hopes of maybe securing one.
Until I have this thing in my hand, I have zero faith I'm actually getting it.
Simply Sami

And again that's tough.
There's people who actually clicked on those links and still weren't able to get one. The best system is one per order.
Yeah I'm sure your sisters and cousins on eBay will enjoy these gifts.

Hold on...I stepped away from my computer for an hour and Walmart put up preorders again?
Spec-fuckin-tacular.
