*bro fist* coffee cup is life.
I timed it from when I refreshed to when I saw it was out of stock. 96 seconds. I'm frantically messaging my friend who wants one "GOGOGOGO"
Yeah, when I refreshed the coffee cup and got another error, I thought I was out of luck. I then refreshed THAT error, and it finally went through.
What a nightmare. Best of luck to you all!
Now I need to track another one, since I promised my sister I'd try to get her one. I'll have to go through Best Buy for the next, since EB only allows one per household.
I think they're putting up one at a time, or something.
Oh ya! Confirmed!
BTW Best Buy placeholders up.

I was able to click the button once, and it immediately said I had added the maximum to my cart, but I couldn't click on my cart. And then it was sold out.
This is irritating.
EDIT: Had it in my cart, was checking it out, got to the last step and it just decided there wasn't one for me anymore. Fuck off EB.
I wonder how fast these will sell out. I'm guessing one minute.

what time are they supposed to come up? 3am EST?
I think more slowly just because I think BB launch is at 3am but maybe.
Did controllers ever go up on eb?
I believe so, yes.
Yeah, the early morning time might make it easier. Then again, people are determined...
As for the controller, not that I know of.
I think I have spent more time trying to buy this than I'll end up playing it.
You really nailed it lol.

The Source for the win!
I hope it's not phantom stock!

Out of stock during final steps. This is pretty stupid. Had to change my delivery address and I was too slow.

Sorry bud, but I hope this means the rest of us got our orders in just in time

I'd say yes.
Thank you! Got the one I'm gifting, now to get the one to keep...
Nice one! Was able to check out before it went OOS. Hopefully it goes through.
I wouldn't. I was able to get $299 trade-in (post-tax), at EB Games, today for my PS4 without a game.

I think most people tend to forget that the Source exists.......I know I did
Thanks! Got an order in (along with the confirmation), but I'm still gonna try at the other stores too. Never ordered online from the Source before so I'm not sure how reliable it is.

FUCK! I missed it.....Best Buy or Amazon.ca hook me up!
Thank you! I got one! I totally forgot about The Source!

thank you. Got an order in from there. And if I change my mind, I can always take it back to my local store.

Dont forget walmart at 6am est.
It's getting exciting, reminds me of amiibo
thats 3am here and I'm drinking tonight....Guess I'll have to drink more and play something on the Pro. Any impressions here about pro on 1080p screens? I grabbed Dishonored 2 and allready had the new Call of Duty Legacy edition.
Best Buy has the Nes Classic and extra controllers on the website but can't do anything yet

Glad I could help!
Will this little NES sell more than PS4 pros? Crazy!!
Will this little NES sell more than PS4 pros? Crazy!!
maybe if there were enough stock lol
At this rate, it might sell more than the Wii U.
I got around 350 after trading and ended up having to spend 170... btw does anyone's PS4 pro disc drive sound ugly ? I kinda want to bring it back to exchange ;(

If you trade in a system at EB Games for the PS4 Pro promotion, does the controller have to match the system? I have a white Wii but only a black Wiimote...
Doesn't have to match. That should be fine.

If I didn't get my order in I wouldn't have minded, I just think this is awesome value (even though I have a lot of the games and an NES lying around somewhere.........if they even still work)

they will still work if you clean em up.
if you don't want em though, i'll take em! haha

Okay good. Just spend the last hour cleaning all the pieces of the package and putting everything in it's place in the original box.
They better accept it or I'll be pretty pissed
You don't need the original box, btw.
