I just tried on my PC, My phone would not even load up.
I'm an asshole with an NES classic for my son. I'll take that.
That's against store policy and your friend could be fired if anyone was able to figure out the store and employee.

I'm fucking set. My buddy at Gamestop held me one while there were 30 sad sack of souls waiting in the cold for 8 units and snagged my 3rd controller.
They were not supposed to hold these.
Your friend could get fired for this
If I knew that and was the 8th guy in line I would say fuck that store.

Third controller? Maybe I'm uninformed, but what for?

Much to my surprise, Target actually shipped the unit I preordered months ago. Was so certain it would get cancelled at some point.
Edit - I had honestly forgotten that I had ordered one till I saw this thread again.

Kudos to those of you who got through on Amazon. It seemed like it was in stock for maybe ten seconds, tops.
I refreshed once from "Currently Unavailable" and got the blank page. Refreshed, got blank again. Refreshed, got the product page with "Add to Cart". Clicked that, and my cart was empty. All this happened in the space of maybe five seconds. I don't know how any of you did it.

It happens ALL the time. Worked for my VR and previous PS4. Drop a gift card in the amount and they ring you up so it's out of the system. Works all the time.

Your buddy works at Gamestop. Sounds like 31 sad sacks.

Seriously. I have two employee friends at GameStop and at most they were only able to take my # to let me know if they even got any more of them. They even said "we can't hold one for you, but I can call you to tell you when we get more but you better act fast." I was straight up lucky that Gamestop took my order on the mobile website today. I feel so bad for people who are straight up struggling to get their order in at all. It's gonna be a long wait
Hopefully they do. First thing is you could've waited in line instead of being a jerk. I work at Best Buy and if I wanted one I had to wait in line too.

Uh oh.
Your buddy just broke corporate policy.
And that's illegal. Whether it works or not, that is a fire-able offense. I managed a GameStop. Lost Prevention would have a field day with that store.
To sell for 100x the price.
They get paid minimum wage. He won't care.

Was never able to get it into my cart. That's two misses today (never got through checkout with gamestop earlier).
What laws have been broken? I didn't steal the thing.

Yes
I'd expect a ton in stores again starting with Black Friday and they're just holding back now.
There will be more shipments but I imagine it will be crazy this holiday season.
Is that any different than when they pre-ring items at gamestop before 12AM and then just hand the item over at 12AM so there isnt a huge line?

I just can't understand how ANYBODY would be willing to pay more than MSRP for this thing.

It showed in stock several times for me (Shipped and sold by Amazon, no prime though). Never went in to my cart when I clicked and one click on my phone didn't work either. Even scarier it keeps showing back up on my phone with prime.
Your friend is. Lost Prevention would have them fired. You can't do that.
Yes. That's allowed by the store. That is simply to move the line along more quickly. It's not the same thing.
