Ordered 8 from Smyths on Monday. Got them as soon as it went live so it should be good.
Also have a friend who works in smyths so Im pretty confident

OK I'll do it. But the OP might be shite.

I agree, what's wrong with a SNES preorder - the thread? Xbox One X has one.
The biggest gaming forum in the world isn't allowing discussion of probably the biggest news of the year

Am I the only person that hasn't had a problem with Very? Granted, I've only ever ordered one thing from there...
I got my PSVR from there for the first order discount and it arrived next day (didn't pay for next day delivery) even after all the stock shortages. Clearly I'm a statistical anomaly

What's so special about these devices? Geez, 70-80GBP for playing selected Super Nintendo games?
Sorry if I'm being an annoyance to some of you, just wow.

When you can flip 'em for $250 with little risk, it's easy money.

I think they are more hit and miss than most, but it doesn't change the fact we know they are a legit site and they received a stock allocation, so personally I am not very worried, pardon the pun.
I'm just a bit bummed (ooooh matron) about having to open a credit account. I've got a calendar entry to have it closed after the thing arrives, though.
Thanks for taking one for the team! Hopefully you don't regret it, but I think the mods will understand.

Odd, I saw the thread, clicked the link, ordered a SNEZ mini after resetting my password and find it was supposed to be sold out 20 minutes ago. Someone must have cancelled and I fell lucky ¯\_(ツ
_/¯That's 3 pre-ordered from 3 different places now, confident I'll get the 2 I need for myself and my son and one can go back, hopefully one of the more expensive ones.

At least we can be sure from the pre-orders so far, that there is once again, extremely limited supply. I'll probably miss out entirely -_-

they shut down the megathread ,sorry guys

Because it wasn't discussion, it was an endless cycle of people losing their shit over the lack of NA pre-orders and wasn't going anywhere.

Despite all that, there was loads of good info in there. It was so helpful.
For french people it's currently up on CDiscount
http://www.cdiscount.com/jeux-pc-vi...-nintendo-entertainme/f-1033906-snesmini.html
It was up on Fnac but is now over.

I don't know whats more garbage. Smyths for allowing someone to buy 8, or people like you who intend to fuck people over.

I created a discord for preorders. Feel free to share it with any user who wants to have a stream. We can @everyone if a new one appears

Probably best not to brag about being a scalper on neogaf.

Damn, missed this. Very are sharks (higher prices than everyone on average) but some of the hyperbole is blown out of control. If you buy something on the site... you'll get it. Most of the issues come from messing around with voucher codes and taking on finance.
On an unrelated note someone needs to email Amazon Germany and ask them why they are taking the piss with the RRP. Other Amazon EU branches are selling for 79.99 Euros.

Scalpers caused me to miss out on the NES. I got one for my bother and couldn't get my own.
Wasn't trying to brag about scalping.

Yeah so you are just bragging about being a dick facepalm...

The NES one had a retro filter where it added scanlines AND a murky CRT effect. Personally, I like scanlines but I don't like CRT blur. I think the hack allowed you to put scanlines on alone.

I don't like the scalping problems with this stuff either, but hate the hustle not the hustler. Ultimately this is on Nintendo of America and Nintendo for being so shit with stocking for demand.
Don´t get me wrong, he can do whatever he wants to with his money and I think we all agree that the blame is on Nintendo and their shitty practices, but coming here to announce it and justifying it by saying "it happened to me, so this time im doing it to others" is a dick move.
/END/ I don't want to derail the thread.
Yeah congrats on being a complete cunt for the sake of making a few bob.
We can only hope that Nintendo will announce more stock given the NES mini debacle. I suspect that the innards of this machine will be the same as the NES mini. Perhaps that might be one reason as to why the NES mini manaufacture was ceased? Maybe there will be more of these but I doubt it.
At least I have my Super Famicom collection regardless...
