It hasn't even technically been announced yet for American release. Once they do the New York event, yeah, people are going to pre-order because Nintendo is going to make sure they do. But even if the entirety of GAF went out to pre-order tomorrow, you'd likely still be placed comfortably in line by mid-January.

Nobody knows when Amazon is putting it up.Billychu said:Do we have any idea when Amazon is going to start their pre-orders? Obviously GameStop won't start until 8:00, but do you think Amazon will wait or just do it at midnight?
They actually do a list depending on who reserved it first.HAL_Laboratory said:Just want to remind everyone that securing a pre-order at Gamestop does not guarantee you a system on launch day.
Maybe at your store, but a lot of people got fucked when Wii came out. Just sayin'.wwm0nkey said:They actually do a list depending on who reserved it first.

antonz said:Hell I remember when the gamecube came out reservations were full and I hadnt bothered. walked in on launch day and a clerk at gamestop took one reserved for someone coming in later that day and sold it to me.
I doubt most clerks give a shit. If the cash is in hand the system goes

Zerokku said:Good part about living on the west coast is that by the time I wake up in the morning, East Coast gamestop's will already be opening and all I'll have to do is look at this thread to find out if preorders really are happening, and how much the deposit is.

The best part about visiting family is that I can't pre-order until JanuaryZerokku said:Good part about living on the west coast is that by the time I wake up in the morning, East Coast gamestop's will already be opening and all I'll have to do is look at this thread to find out if preorders really are happening, and how much the deposit is.

Wal-Mart doesn't do preorders, but that's the way to go. I think Smash Brothers was the only Nintendo product I can think of that caused Gamestop to have a midnight release. If the 3DS has a midnight release at Gamestop I may go ahead and pre-order there just to be on the safe side.Dreamwriter said:Preordering is for wimps!

Besides me and I think 1 or 2 other people, nope. So its not 100%Dreams-Visions said:guys, are we 100% sure this is going to happen tomorrow?
I see wwMonkey's report, but not really any others. are we SURE? it's a pretty early wakeup call to go to the store for nothing.
I'm getting up stupid early tomorrow on your say so. I'm not the only one. This is going to get ugly if you're wrong.wwm0nkey said:Besides me and I think 1 or 2 other people, nope. So its not 100%
mine as well just wake up and call.BMF said:I'm getting up stupid early tomorrow on your say so. I'm not the only one. This is going to get ugly if you're wrong.
I'm not going to bring torches or pitchforks, but some will. I'll just go home and back to sleep.
Im waking up super early as well, I will also be pissed because this is what I was told by my manager.BMF said:I'm getting up stupid early tomorrow on your say so. I'm not the only one. This is going to get ugly if you're wrong.

Wait it was in your system?ntb825 said:Yes, this is 100% happening tomorrow (today, whatever).
There us only one SKU at this time because colors and bundles are unknown. The minimum (and only) deposit will be $50. The price listed in the computer is $999.99 to prevent anyone from telling a customer a wrong price for the thing because no one knows yet.
Also, there are only 4 games available for order. Lovely Lisa, Madden NFL, Cartoon Network Super-Toon Rumble, and The Sims 3.
Hope that helps.
Yes it is. =\robut said:I'm on and off at Gamestop and I've a bud who's very keyed in to what goes on. He's not heard of it. Not saying it can't be true I'm not going to be surprised if pre-orders aren't live tomorrow. Jan 19 isn't far away, either

Anasui Kishibe said:they won't, trust me. First day is Ocarina and some third party support. i suspect last minute delays, as usual
Amir0x said:oh i know. That's why I'm not really worried about it. The rest of the apparent launch window shit looks pretty screwy so I'm only interested in putting the money down if Paper Mario 3DS is gonna be there.
Playing Ocarina for the hundredth time is not too interesting to me.
Craig Majaski said:I can also confirm that it went live today. No color choices and 50 bucks down with a June placeholder and no price set (999.99 in computer).
