So here's my experience.
I went to the Curtner plaza in San Jose since it has a Target, Toys R Us and Best Buy all in the same place. I don't know why I continue to go here since the selection and stock is typically bad and it ends up being a waste of a trip. It's probably because they're all next to each other and I fall for it all the time.
Anyways, I get there 15 min before Target and Toys R Us opens and I'm 6th in line at Target and probably would have been around 10 or 12th at TRU. I think I've scored a system and won't have to grab my preorder later. Nope, Target only gets 3 deluxe and 1 regular so I miss out on that. On top of that, their game selection is so small that I can't even select three games that I want to get their sale. No Scribblenauts, no Sing Party, no Tekken, no Sonic. Toys R Us is sold out by the time I get there and they've run out of Sing Party and don't have Tekken. Instead of buying games, I opt to go somewhere else.
I end up at the Target in Oakridge. They have a better selection of games and I get my first batch, Mario, ZombiU and Sing Party, but they don't have Scribblenauts, Sonic, or Tekken. They're sold out though on Wii U. So then I head to Blossom Hill Toys R Us and get Scribblenauts and Sonic but still no Tekken. They ask if I wanted a console and I was surprised they had any left. They had two regular units but no deluxe so I pass on it.
I guess I'll need my preorders afterall.
