20 minutes until mass disappointment!

Truth.

 

[ST2K]

FWIW I think in the recent past I've heard stories about preorders being canceled for those who did so with PayPal. I can't remember if it was for Nintendo items or which retailers though.

I worked in Best Buy corporate customer service for a time. I would advise to never use PayPal with them, if their systems are still the same as when I worked there.

I still believe in the heart of the cards!

That is very good to know. Thank you.

This is not a toy son. This is what dreams are made of. This is the equivalent of standing in line 30 years ago.

Good point...

 

[LowParry]

So Amazon is a bust already? Or more will come up?

 

[captainwhat]

Ugh this is giving me way too much anxiety please let this all be over soon!

 

[Kusagari]

We don't know.

Why? What is wrong with Best Buy + PayPal?

 

[friskykillface]

So stressed right now... lol

SHOOK is what I'm feeling lol

I think more will come up.

 

[Omegasquash]

Same but replace girlfriend with boss.

>.>


<.<


*nods in solidarity

We're hoping more, based on someone's tweet. I wonder if it will be Prime only.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Not sure. That twitter post suggested Amazon for 1PM EST but they already had some. I would check it to make sure.

 

[Smellycat]

I have a feeling there will be more. The preorders that went up earlier were from an affiliate.

 

[Stabby McSter]

am i the only one having fun lol this shit is so enjoyable

 

[SecondCitySaint]

My cheeks are clenched. Lets go Best Buy

 

[jennetics]

I'm closing down all my office apps (outlook, excel, etc.). Gotta let chrome have the power for the next little bit.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I can't stop tooting out of anxiety.

More came up multiple times with NES Classic, and Nintendo says they're producing much more SNES Classics, but who knows.

 

[LowParry]

If that were the case, it'd give me a better chance of getting one. It's how I got the NES one. Prime only.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Same but replace girlfriend with boss.

So.....your wife?

 

[friskykillface]

I suspect prime now will get a bulk of Amazon stock x prime membership being the only way to get a system tbh

 

[Armoured Priest]

This man speaks Truth!

 

[Agent_Carnage]

In 15 min you're going to see some serious shit.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721GGGS9/?tag=neogaf0e-20

That's a different link that the GameTrust listing. I'm on that page in case my GT pre-order falls through.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I have 4 tabs open....ready to go. Hoping no one steps into my office or needs something in the next half hour. This shit is crazy

 

[Kusagari]

I hope so. Makes it easier.

Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already: Mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready...

or absolutely nothing (unless you're in canada)

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Honestly, all hot items sold on Amazon should be Prime only at this point.

 

[Dr.Horrible]

So.....your wife?

Lol, in this case I should've said bosses (wife and work). Both would disapprove.

 

[TheLionsDen]

Anxiety is taking over me....I've gone through four pieces of chewing gum in the past 15mins or so.

 

[Stencil]

I can't stop tooting out of anxiety.

same but add coffee and a cigarette. My bowels are timing themselves exactly within the preorders going live WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME, ME?!

 

[Plinko]

or absolutely nothing (unless you're in canada)

Eh. We'll see. Where is the 1PM thing coming from?

 

[Memles]

or absolutely nothing (unless you're in canada)

Best Buy's going to have them at 1pm ET.

 

[muteki]

Considering how many people have prime I'm not sure it would help much.

 

[YunFang1130]

This is really Killing me here. I'm taking phone calls for work and refreshing after each call is finished. Ugh please go live already! !!!

 

[SpecX]

This has to happen. I'm doing this for my kids so they can experience these amazing games I grew up with!

 

[Rebel Leader]

Best Buy's going to have them at 1pm ET.

that's confirmed?

 

[Saganator]

Lol same. Just got back from a smoke, I was pacing all over the place.

 

[Naked Snake]

No, it said solds by Amazon.com

 

[LiK]

Go to sleep everyone.

 

[Thabass]

15 minutes until hopes and dreams are crushed.

You know, the hook to this song actually fits this situation really nicely..

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Hey, it probably gives us an extra 30 seconds of time to order!

 

[Fractology]

Wait 20 minutes and then report back when your fun dreams are scalped into oblivion right in front of your very eyes.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

that's confirmed?

Rumored by a tweet.
