I think I was able to get one, I have an order number but when I click on it, I get an error page and no confirmation email (yet). It only worked on the website, the BestBuy app did not change at all (for me, at least).
Same here. Let’s hope it went through!
Phew!! Got my confirmation email!!
Email confirmation received!
This is mental. I tried to preorder on both sites and nothing. Sites claiming that it’s selling out in minutes. Sadly it actually more like seconds. I just want the snes classic, take my money Nintendo, I don’t understand how hard it is to push out an audrino board and some plastic.
Nintendo doesn’t want money, they want you to entertain them by scrambling like cockroaches when the lights go on for these things knowing dam well they didn’t make enough.
Hope Amazon comes through…
I see no point. Bought an amazon fire tv 2 and loaded it with every sega, genesis, nes, snes, gba and mame available. Plays great with my PS4 controllers. Avoid the hype!
