Do these use the same screen protectors as the old 3DS XL?

So is there a specific time we should expect online sales to go live?

They are in stock everywhere around here
Yooo middle TN GAF.
I'm in east TN right now
10am tomorrow according to the clerk at my local store. But apparently what happened last time was east coast pre-orders went up first so a bunch of people from the east coast got them and barely any west coast people got them. Maybe she was talking about the time so idk.

Some GS employees have said they will do WIS orders in store for the MM 3DS XL tomorrow for those who miss out on the 4 copies they will sell in store. WIS is their warehouse internet system or something like that, it lets them do online orders for home delivery, in store.
Its not the same as the website. No, I have no clue why they are two seperate systems, probably to get people to come in store and maybe buy some other crap they wouldn't if they shopped online.
Take it all with a grain of salt of course, I find it hard to believe there are a ton of extra of these systems around but who knows.

the informative gamestop i spoke to told me that UPS will show up any time between 9am and 5pm. Sometimes even multiple times in the same day. So the units could be there as soon as they open or not arrive until 5pm.

Have you gotten any other requests? I'd be open in case I strike out in my attempt to get one.

offer three of those amiibos and i'll give you mine
if you want a majoras mask system for $250-$350 it'll happen the first few days since everyone will try to sell quick and people will put the price low to sell fast
it says that for me too but a friend that works at a gamestop says they got some in tonight for sale tomorrow

So today's the day. Hoping some fellow GAFers walk away with one. I know I'm excited, but keeping expectations at bay since I probably won't be able to find one in time.
Anyone else F5'ing several sites like madmen/women yet?

Local shop by my work opens at 10, they say they'll be getting their shipment in around noon. Calling every half hour until then, lol.

Local store just confirmed they'd have some! First come first serve.
Arm yourself well, and prepare for the bloodbath brave soldier.
one store said to try again later as they do not know if they would be getting any. the second told me that they would not be receiving any.... however to call/stop by later on as gamestop will allow you to order it in store through their website as a per store thing instead of offering it as a go online and buy kind of thing.
Speculation was 10 EST since that was apparently the time they went live before.
That has now passed.

I'll be calling each store around those time so I guess there is some hope.
There was never even a chance. Apparently in NYC only 5 or 6 gamestops got the systems.
Store opens at 10am and the line already exceeded the 4 system cap of the store Im closest to.
This, by the way, means they got them yesterday and lied about having them. I was told shipments would come by noon.
So I roll up at 10:37 to check in and hear "gone already"
Wtf dude.

Yeah, there was one shop near my house that got them in yesterday, but they told me they weren't allowed to sell them until today.
Yeah, this is one of those rare disadvantages of living in a city. As far as I know there are only 2 Gamestops in all of DC, horrible odds.

This location is showing stock.
I managed to call half an hour ago, the guy was super cool about (after telling him I had numerous cancellations before) and told me he would hold one and give me a call when they came in. 10 minutes later, call received, and i got it! Good luck to you all! It honestly does look better in person.

As someone who used to work at a GameStop, I don't know if they changed their system, but it used to be that the website stock tool only updated once a day overnight. When Wiis were impossible to get, god help you if someone the day before took in a defective one incorrectly so it showed as in stock.
the one store i called said they would but that it was not available to do yet and would be later in the day
