I love that my job is right near Gamestop, Bestbuy and Target lol

And I can leave out when ever I want, hard to miss out on these things, screw the scalpers and online bots

 

[Hexer06]

I won't even be able to get to Gamestop for another 4 hours or so. No way pre-orders last that long. Love that I've wasted hours for nothing. Got "Cart Jacked" from Walmart and Target within seconds of them going up. This just really leaves a bad taste in my mouth for Nintendo. Really don't like supporting them when they've been making Consoles longer than Sony and MS, yet they're the farthest behind in both Internet Infrastructure and manufacturing hardware. How???

 

[Madame M]

So it's just toys r us left? Did gamestop even sell any through their website at all?

 

[Blizzard]

It's up at Target!

Nope, still out of stock since it sold out earlier.

 

[Head.spawn]

Got my SNES Mini (non-weirdo UK version) and Project Scorpio, feeling great.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Was able to Pre-order on Amazon last night via the alternate url. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled.

Not as of yet.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Got one at B&M Gamestop. Had to wait around for their system to come back up. My store only had 12. Met some cool people while waiting in line, though.

 

[vazel]

Nope, still out of stock since it sold out earlier.

Oh, sorry. I got a notification from nowinstock.

 

[mindatlarge]

Yeah, the GS employees aren't holding orders for their friends. Most of them are just clueless as hell and don't realize GameStop's ancient system requires rebooting.

Got mine at GameStop, apparently got the last one at my store.

Idk if this helps because it varies by store, but I called at 10:41AM PST requesting quantity, the lady said they had 5 left. Got to the store at 10:50AM PST, and managed to snag the last one.

Guy walked in right after i checked out and gave me the stare after the lady told him she just sold the last one...

Feels weird saying this, but GameStop actually came through for once.

Almost makes me feel bad for bad mouthing them so much. Almost.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

GameStop app? Bahahahaha. Get fucked.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Bundles up at GameStop.com app

Pricey

Get the fuck outta here. They're ALREADY doing bundles?

 

[ahoyhoy]

Still salty that a manager did secret preorders for a preorder. Gotta be against their policy right?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What the fuck could they possibly be bundling with this?

 

[outunderthestars]

I'm guessing it's Walmart just covering their asses. My interpretation of it (and this could be entirely wrong so just take it as a hypothetical) is that they assume the units won't enter the supply chain until the 29th, so it'll take time to get them out to distribution centers and then out to each shipping center or ship-to-store location.

walmart opened preorders?

 

[Ashler]

I can't believe I got one from Target on time. I was lucky enough to be refreshing their page when it went up and before the swarm came in from twitter notices.

Happy day!

 

[maxcriden]

walmart opened preorders?

Yes, for four seconds (seriously) at 1 PM.

 

[kyo2004]

These are bundles, right?

Nope... At least the image posted doesn't show it's a bundle... (79.99 preorder)

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What the fuck could they possibly be bundling with this?

Amiiboooooooooo and cables and swagggggggg

 

[The Ummah]

It's up at Target!

Out of stock when you try to add to your cart (((

 

[Earendil]

I never even got notified by BestBuy that this was happening.

*cue angry noises*

 

[sixteen-bit]

Get the fuck outta here. They're ALREADY doing bundles?

I'm not surprised.

 

[vgamer1]

Got one from GameStop!!

Arrived at GameStop at 2pm. They had 10, when I got there they had 4 left. Three people came in while I was pre ordering and got theirs. 5 more came after that and left empty handed. This is all in a 5 minute span. Their phone did not stop ringing the entire time.

 

[katsubento]

walmart opened preorders?

For like a whole 20 seconds.

 

[Madame M]

GameStop app? Bahahahaha. Get fucked.

Seriously, who the hell uses the gamestop app?

 

[BoogieWoogie]

What the fuck could they possibly be bundling with this?

Shit they couldn't sell otherwise.

 

[Blizzard]

Shit they couldn't sell otherwise.

GameStop: What are you gonna do, NOT order the bundle? That's what I THOUGHT. *pose*

 

[jackuiowa]

Anyone have issues pulling up their power up pro account in store?

 

[nickerous]

Spoiler

I must be the only one who got an NES,
Switch, AND SNES. :3c

Spoiler

Nope. High five!

whats the bundle and how much?

 

[mindatlarge]

10 subscriptions of Game Informer for family and friends?

People do like to gift.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I was able to get one at a Gamestop near me, they only had 10 allotted to their store according to the manager I talk with when I go there. I was the 5th in line to get one reserved lol. Had a fun time though, all the people there were all talking about their favorite SNES game, cheering when one of us got a preorder in. Good times and really made me smile to joke about games with some random strangers in there. Good luck to those still looking for one. If you have a Gamestop in a remote area go now. Don't wait.

 

[valinthyne]

Gamestop App apparently has them. Site has been pulled.

 

[friskykillface]

Just buy the $99 bundle and be done with it

 

[Hexer06]

Gamestop App not working for me. click Add to cart and it does nothing.

That explains a few things.

 

[Omegasquash]

Anything to do w/ Gamestop right now is slow. App sign-in, site, you name it.

 

[Cloggerdude]

Got it to pull up on the App, but good luck trying to actually checkout....

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Gamestop App apparently has them. Site has been pulled.

Gamestop App? As in a app for a smart device?

 

[TheGrue]

Stock keeps showing and disappearing on the app for me. I might be interested in a bundle with a controller, but can't get things up to check out what is included.

 

[Power Shot]

Successfully preordered the third SNES at my local Gamestop. I was, however, annoyed by the fact that the cashier, overwhelmed by the experience, allowed an older woman in front of me to order two (on separate Gamestop accounts). Still, got mine!

 

[topplehat]

Gamestop bundle in app is $189 are you serious?

 

[Chamber]

The app is slow as hell and only has bundles.

 

[Kusagari]

Cheapest bundle comes with another controller and a book about the SNES for 120.00

 

[BruceCLea]

About to grab a $100 bundle at GameStop cuz fuck it I have the credit.

 

[ornery]

Cheapest bundle comes with another controller and a book about the SNES for 120.00

[ShadowKingpin]

[Jeff-DSA]

The Gamestop app is dead. We broke it.

 

[LiK]

[Dboss2289]

I just got home from my GS, got preorder #2 out of 8. Their system went down but when it came back so did the preorders
