Still surprised us US pre-orders haven't been nixed.
I still don't understand the delay, Nintendo's biggest market is the US, would think it was some kind of priority to gauge interest and make enough to satisfy the preorders?
Non UK orders should also be canned.
I don't expect pre-orders to go live at all in the US. Most retailers didn't do pre-orders for the NES Classic in the US, and those that did only allocated limited numbers.
You should be canned.
It's not our fault NOA is garbage-tier.
I think since Nintendo said they are making a substantial amount more, (I bet they are producing them as we speak) before they send out allocations to each retailer maybe. Why would the rest of the world get preorders and we don't? <_<
Check your credit card statement. Amazon UK charged me $1.37 (the equivalent of a pound) a few days back, probably to see if my form of payment was valid. I think my odds of actually getting one from them are now 65% (based on absolutely nothing).Still surprised us US pre-orders haven't been nixed.
Well you are actually wrong.
Just like the Xbox one X it's not FCC approved. Which should happen by end of July.
What if you're buying one for a friend? I'd say it's justified. Some friends aren't able to hound an amazon page or thread for an entire day.

I would have bought a few nes classics for family gifts and myself. But Nintendo.

Oh look, Amazon Off-Shore CS being idiots as usual.mine is still priced at £79.99. CS wouldn't reduce it because there wasn't a direct link showing the lower price..
There were two individual listings. I just hope that this isn't a case where everybody who ordered the listing that doesn't exist anymore gets their order canceled or something.

Is your order still live? If it hasn't been cancelled go back on live chat and post that email from the OP.

Mine from the original listing is still showing, though it's also still showing as £79.99 rather than £69.99. I hope I don't pay the first price now.
I did - they just spouted 'pre order price guarantee - they'll adjust the price before it is shipped'
I'm leaving it now just in case. I'll bitch about it after they ship if they don't adjust it. This feels like it'll be easy enough to get hold of so I'll return it after buying elsewhere if necessary.
Same here. I've not tried contacting CS yet though.
Still shows as Arriving 30th September so I think it's ok?

Huh. Did they drop the price on that? Email says £69.99 but my order still says £77.99

Then too bad; said friend should have to look elsewhere or be prepared to queue when it's released. They certainly shouldn't get priority over people who *do* check Amazon all day yet still get unlucky because all the units were snapped up within minutes due to people ordering multiple units.

And friends who can't just take off work to line up for an $80 micro-console, and who can't access the Internet at all while on the job...? Just fuck 'em?
I mean, I get limiting to one unit per customer, and support it even, but "lol fuck you if you can't warp your adult life around hoping to catch an unspecified 10-minute pre-order window at some unannounced time" is a stupid attitude nonetheless.
I wanted to buy one for my brother, but I still think it's fair this way. Better this way than to enable fucking scalpers.
No, not "fuck 'em". But "That's reality; accept it."
It's shit that that there aren't enough units to satisfy demand, but Amazon should give priority to the people who spent time monitoring their site. Whether or not the reason you didn't is because you didn't have the opportunity is completely inconsequential.
If you have a job that prohibits you from checking Amazon/other places regularly, it's on you to find an alternative means of getting one, not on Amazon to open the floodgates to scalpers (which then ends up resulting in far more people not getting one) to accommodate you.
