My Nintendo contact just emailed me and confirmed that I'd "want to pay attention to the internet in about ten minutes."

[BoogieWoogie]

did anyone ever get Target to take their card info?

I just did.

 

[Shil Pencer]

late to the party what stores are expecting a 1pm release?

 

[BriGuy]

For the next 15 minutes?

15 minutes would be a quickie by my standards.

 

[Omegasquash]

Wal-Mart seems slowest, but all are predictably slow right now.


Hoo-boy. Good luck, everyone.

 

[BroBot]

LOL jeebus. relax everyone. at the end of the day, it's just videogames. not worth getting that stressed over.

You already got your pre-order in, didn't you?

 

[jrcbandit]

Gamestop site dead again.

That makes me think it will sell out in about a minute at every site.

 

[Jigorath]

When you play the game of Nintendo preorders, you win or you die.

 

[Cess007]

reading the amazon Q&A. LOL a this guys

Is Nintendo gonna make more than 10 of these? Secondly, is Amazon gonna put up the preorder at 4am on a Sunday night so that i wake up too late?

He was almost on point

Reggie announces that he's made a giant statue of himself out of the units, which he promptly burns.

 

[Thabass]

GameStop is working for me right now.

 

[Nydius]

if i don't get one i'll be like ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Pretty much the same except I'll just say screw it and go RetroPie. I know it's quasi-controversial around the GAF to discuss but I'd rather be a copyright infringer than prop up a shitty scalper market. I'd do neither if Nintendo would just make their products reasonable to obtain without going through all this bullshit. These scarcity shenanigans are one major reason why I stopped caring about amiibo.

[BFIB]

I just went to grab my wallet so I can get my CC info in on Walmart/Target.

And I forgot my wallet at home.

 

[SeanPyle]

I just did.

did you just keep trying to submit until it worked? I mean, I have the other 4 sites open and ready, but it'll kill me if Target ends up being the one that pans out for everyone lol

 

[Knightmarre]

Rumor that amazon is gonna cancel last night orders. Did anyone who ordered a bunch get a call from them?

I just hit save and it worked.

 

[Hustler]

Walmart and Target, be my savior!

 

[shandy706]

I honestly don't care, but just in case...outside of Amazon, do any others charge right now?

I'm buying no matter what, but my brother just texted me and asked...I can't ever remember.

 

[MrMephistoX]

Probably pretty fucking high that’s why I’m not trusting them.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

You just want them all for yourself! I WON'T BE TRICKED!

 

[Steiner]

any particular web page?

He didn't mention any by name. I have a feeling it'll be the usual suspects. I'm really scared that the pages will all freeze and fail on me and then they'll all be gone. =[

 

[Sanchito]

So exciting! Good luck everyone!

 

[BFIB]

OH NOOOOO

Yep. Help me Amazon, you're my only hope.

Amazon doesn't charge until it ships. Best Buy and Walmart (i believe) put a charge immediately after the order processes. I think Target does the same.

 

[TheGrue]

It's quiet in here....too quiet.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

5 minutes!
