ugh so now i've got to decide how long I'm going to sit here trying that...
I really hope that's it and not some weird glitch.

If you managed to get it into your cart before and it disappeared, you can then go to your cart and try to re-add it via the "Saved For Later" pop up, then click that. Refresh if the button goes away due to the "item sold out" message.

Yes, it is harder then 'hard' mode.

Plus it has the fusion suit.
Really, really stupid to gate it behind an amiibo knowing the track record for availability.

Should I set up an account at Target? lol
Do it now so when they do get in stock, you won't have to worry.
oh god not the Metroid hard mode discussion in this thread lol
if you want to have a chance at target then obviously yes

I never had mine vanish, but I also set my clicker to be slow enough that the pop up saying it wasn't in stock vanished for a bit.
I am honestly not sure where I got it from sadly as that was like a month ago.
but it shouldn't be that hard to find one.
I will send you a link to what I think I have via PM, but download at your own risk as while I think it is clean, it's not impossible that there is malware in it.
Got the email confirmation, and the pending charge. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.
I kept pressing pre order now, and refreshing the page.

Sort of wish all sites would limit 1 per customer. I know people want to buy them for their kids and friends but that also means people who wanted them for themselves get kinda screwed.

Your 11 units per store will not sway me!

When did Walmart go up?
same. I am hoping that because I ordered two it doesn't get cancelled >.<
I just want to play a few games on it and have my wife play a link to the past on something that won't lose her save as emulator, on my official snes ect I have lost her save after she reached the dark world lol.

WTF TARGET WENT THROUGH...
I was in cart. I didn't have the item in cart, but it was in "Saved for later". I kept on trying and it kept on saying OOS.
I hit "Checkout" with an empty cart, and at checkout the cart showed SNES Classic.
So weird!

Fuck. How were they able to keep them up for so long the last time they went up?
If you want a time frame in the speed this thread is going, Walmart's went up EONS ago.
That weird amazon page that you got SNES Classic on is now gone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XPZDQR/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Now it's just doggys

I'm more for a 2 per customer.
it allows you to get one for a friend as well but makes it a little harder on scalpers.
the simple fact is any scalper that is any good has many accounts set up with every major site already to bypass limits.
I mean if you live near your family even if they limited one per household you could still buy a number of them and just ship them to each family member's place.
If I remember, people were surprised by the listing. With this one, there were rumors going around all the sites were posting at a specific time today. Also, since it was a mistake, they might not have had a cap on the inventory to limit to how much they were likely getting.
You're a good friend

That happened with nes classic
Just dogs after it sold out so I think those that got a pre order are good
You're welcome. Just kidding. Glad it worked for you
Does amazon sell those dogs

they likely didn't set a limit and they were only up until someone went
"HEY THAT SHOULDNT BE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
and they shut it down.
plus no one was watching for it at that time.

As someone who pre ordered this... it makes me a bit nervous.
Checked and my order still exists. Maybe they're finally updating it with a photo and stuff.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I've been trying to add CC info since like 6 hours ago, lol. Still can't even do that.
I doubt they would cancel because you ordered two. At worst, it would get reduced by one. Assuming they have enough for everyone that placed an order. Fingers crossed we don't get screwed. -___-
That just reminded me of what it'll be like on launch day. I did in store pick up at Best Buy. I can only imagine how insane its going to be. And there's probably gonna be salt as I walk out with one lol.Just keep continually mashing that preorder now button on target and maybe you'll eventually get lucky
Anyway, if the hardcore crew on GAF are having these problems now on a random fucking Tuesday, imagine how tough it'll be in a few months when EVERYONE is gunning for these. Christ almighty.
I mean, if you really want one, you're just going to have to pay resell price. This is how sneaker releases work.
That's because bots are spamming the page :/

Just got a preorder in at a local thinkgeek store. No bundle
Go to settings, try to change your address, it'll force you to login again, then add CC info.

Doesn't seem like a great sign. My order is still intact, though...
Target might as well lock preorders behind some elaborate text adventure game embedded in the page.
Better than mindlessly clicking this button over and over.
