My wife was freaking out over it this morning. I told her after a few days of trying to get the NES classic that the novelty of the thing just isn't worth the aggravation. That same sentiment is ringing true here. I'll try to nab one, but fuck refusing to sleep or taking days off to try and get one.

I had two more in cart. Just trying to get some for my friends.
Couldn't remember my password and by the time it was reset, TOO LATE.
God fucking dammit...

Fuck all of this.
Yep same happened to me
Eh, I have 2 from the UK, and 2 from Best Buy, so I'm good.
Will probably sell them at MSRP on GAF

I never got a notification from Amazon that it went up for sale. Is anybody certain there preorders already went up?

Man people are going to be so (rightfully) pissed at Nintendo. Walmart and Target were available for a combined 1 minute? It's just crazy. There's no excuse either.

It gives people like you a platform to gloat about multiple orders from walmart and one from target. It can't be THAT bad.

This is infuriating.
Fuck Target, and Fuck Nintendo.
Re-enter your card info, website slow as shit, then "Something went wrong" and then "you have no items in your cart, also these are out of stock now". I have a Euro version preordered on Amazon.de, but I think I'm just gonna cancel. Fuck nintendo for this unnecessary bullshit. They don't deserve money for this sort of shit.

they did.
My order went through. I lucked out--randomly refreshed the page and saw it change to "preorder" before any tweet or post went out.
my friend missed out cuz he's working and i'm at lunch.

Yes they were up at a ridiculous time early in the morning. You missed it.
They said when I called that it wasn't in the system yet but should be any time.

They claim there will be higher supply but the potential problems with that is that A) AFAIK we have no idea what that means. How much more? and B) it's possible the demand for hte SNES will be even higher. Even though the NES sold more in it's prime, the SNES seems to hit the nostalgia spot of current consumers even more so. It's like right in the millennial childhood wheelhouse.

Yup I'm pretty sure this messed me up. I had a credit card on file this morning at 9am, made sure it was correct, then it re-asked me to put everything in again

GS Emailed me this
You asked us to give you a heads-up when the Nintendo SNES Classic Edition system was available. Good news, friend! We're ready to take pre-orders!
But they won't be around for long. Quantities are super limited. So stop reading the rest of this sentence and pre-order your Nintendo SNES Classic in-store or online at GameStop.com now!
They might have online pre orders?

Yeesh 10 per store would be insane
I was damn close, out of stock right at the last stage.
I got my best buy order in but I'm trying to get one for my brother -_-
This is how I got one from Wal-Mart. Said "pre-order" before I got any notifications.
