But Amazon is selling stashes of these coveted consoles in a handful of cities Saturday for their original price of $60, as part of a splashy nationwide debut of its Treasure Truck daily-deals program.

The NES Classic consoles will be available on Treasure Trucks in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles on Saturday, in addition to Amazon's hometown of Seattle. The Treasure Truck program will be making it to more cities in the future.

Notifications on Saturday's sale will push out at 10 a.m. local time in each city. Customers can order the NES Classic consoles via the Amazon app, then schedule a pick up time at a Treasure Truck. The offer is available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time, or until the consoles sell out. (An Amazon spokeswoman declined to say how many consoles the company has available.)

What the hell is going on with those NES stocks?

It's been out of production since last December!

 

[Dominator]

What the hell is going on with this thing lol

 

[Kusagari]

Was Amazon just hoarding thousands for this or something?

 

[Jonboy]

It's a long shot, but if anyone in one of those cities wants to help a fellow gaf member out...shoot me a PM!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

It was Amazon who bought them all, all along.

 

[dallow_bg]

My cousin and I got one.
How about that extra controller tho?

 

[Shiggy]

.

 

[Koppai]

Damn I have lost track of how many of these I havw bought.

 

[RRockman]

Are they charging scalper prices?

No The OP said retail price.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Either Amazon hoarded them like GS did with Xenoblade Chronicles or people gave up searching for them after March when they couldnt find them for Christmas.

 

[NeOak]

Are they charging scalper prices?

Read the OP?

Then again, you posted an OT that someone else had claimed. Can't expect much.

 

[Minions]

well shoot. Where is the one for Houston?

 

[NeOak]

well shoot. Where is the one for Houston?

1401 Walker St

That's 2 streets down from Discovery Green Park.

 

[Dominator]

Been looking for one of these for so long, I wish one was in NYC.

 

[entremet]

Crazy that Nintendo won’t do a final production run.

 

[Shiggy]

No The OP said retail price.

Missed it it there.

Read the OP?

Then again, you posted an OT that someone else had claimed. Can't expect much.

 

[Persona7]

Crazy that Nintendo won't do a final production run.

They did though? The last shipment was well publicized.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Where's the one in Los Angeles go? It's a big place after all

 

[Lijik]

Dang I wouldnt be able to pick one up till after this things over.

 

[The Technomancer]

Chicago here, signed up at like 10:30, no notifications

 

[Serenitynow]

Holy shit. I just bought an NES Classic for $60.

 

[Minions]

IF YOU HAVE NO NOTIFICATIONS


TEXT LIKE IT SAYS, LINK YOUR ACCOUNT.
THEN INSTALL AMAZON SHOPPING
THEN ITS ON THE FP WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED IN ON THE APP!

Got one!

Thanks guys!

 

[SwordStruck]

Kind of shitty for them to lock stock behind the ability to be within distance of 5 or 6 cities. It makes sense for things like Amazon Fresh but this seems messed up. At the very least just make them prime only and limit 1 per customer.

 

[Serenitynow]

Chicago here, signed up at like 10:30, no notifications

Just go to the app and type in Treasure truck.

 

[bastardly]

DAMMIT. Don't even really want one, but I have to have it for some reason. in for one in LA, c'mon 10AM!

 

[ahdurian]

the fuck...hoarding those for promotion is kinda scummy Amazon

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I think someone at Nintendo just realized one of the factories wasn't plugged in this whole time.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Crazy that Nintendo won’t do a final production run.

They did, it was called the final production run, when they stopped production and told people about the last shipment.

 

[spindashing]

No NYC? God damn I'd be there

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I already have one that I use, and it's tempting to buy another just to keep it in the box. But fuck it, I'd rather somebody who doesn't already have even 1 get one instead.

 

[SwordStruck]

the fuck...hoarding those for promotion is kinda scummy Amazon

Who would have guessed that it wasn't Nintendo generating artificial scarcity, but the retailers themselves!

We don't know how many there are but still, it's not a good look.

 

[RedToad64]

Amazon Treasure Truck? What? This is so weird.

 

[BlondeTuna]

I'm doing this in the LA area. Let's go!!!!

 

[kc44135]

Meh, just give me Virtual Console already...

 

[Synless]

Ordered one in Chicago.

 

[Ourobolus]

Seattle notification just popped up. Got one!

 

[nahlakhai]

Snagged one in Houston while at work.

Now for the SNES classic.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Next gen icecream truck hype

 

[ValkyrUser]

I can't order one. It keeps giving me an error.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Got a notification in Los Angeles but everytime I click it and open the app it says there's a problem try again. I'm already to late aren't I?

Keep trying the LA one. Just got one.

I kept refreshing and retrying and got one too! So is this actually guaranteed or do I need to get there right at 11? Lmao

 

[Erekiddo]

Keep trying the LA one. Just got one.

 

[javac]

Next gen icecream truck hype

No flake, no care.

 

[Neith]

LOL it's Amazon that caused all the shortages.

 

[Brandon F]

Just placed an order for LA.

 

[coolasj19]

Yo Amazon. How long you been holding onto these thing bro? Whatever. I got mine. Nice to get a promotion in Houston.

Me in 2016: Well, I didn't want one anyway.
Me in 2017: omg I'm sorry give it to me please please please

 

[leehom]

Thanks for the heads up, ordered one in Texas. Took about 50 tries because of the constant errors, but it finally got through.

 

[polyh3dron]

GOT ONE

 

[Affeinvasion]

Future me will be bemused that the mishandling of this product is what kept me from buying anything from Nintendo ever again.

 

[bastardly]

Got one in LA, its at the Grove.
