[Illucio]

Come on Best Buy just let me know my payment option was accepted and the pre-order is successful so I can cancel Wal-Marts and go to sleep.

 

[obijkenobi]

No conformation e-mail for me yet, but it's on my order page.

If you have gmail, check your promotions tab. That's where mine went.

 

[JaseMath]

If there's zero visual parity between the NS and Wii U version of Zelda, I'll cancel my pre-order and roll with the Wii U version. Until we know for sure, at least I got a back up.

 

[Already Torn]

And will do so every month or so. No biggie if you're on credit card, but if you used debit and run a low balance it may cancel order if your checking balance is lower than the total when it pings your account.

I mean I suspect that there's an error with their system and they're taking orders for consoles that they don't have like Walmart.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Has anyone gotten a confirmation email yet?

No. And this is why I think we're going to see lots of "we're sorry" emails.

 

[antonz]

It looks like they have the system setup to limit preorders for each store.

I notice my local store is no longer available for pick up while others around still are

 

[Papasmurf531]

Got the Neon one!!!! Holding out on my zelda pre-order until I can get one of the collector editions.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I got mine in with in-store pickup. Whew.

 

[vatstep]

Common Amazon, for the love of fuck, some of us have work in the morning.

Isn't Amazon always stupid about Nintendo products? I wouldn't be surprised if they wait until like next week or something.

 

[KevinG]

If you have gmail, check your promotions tab. That's where mine went.

Same.

 

[AgeEighty]

Or maybe it's because it's after midnight in half the country? I don't know.

Maybe, but that isn't that late, especially for anyone dedicated enough to have been paying attention to the presentation. Hell, it was 3 am when NES Classic orders went live, and that didn't stop them from selling out within minutes.

 

[SoraanTribal]

When they say in-store pick-up, will that mean day one?



How can you tell? Thanks!

I was wondering this, too. How can you tell if a store has midnight launch?

 

[D-Man]

Put in a pre-order for in store pick up, but no confirmation email yet. Will keep this as a backup until Amazon's orders are up, then I'll cancel it. Just wanna be sure that I'm getting one!!

 

[The Lamp]

Has anyone gotten a confirmation email yet?

I did. But I ordered mine before I even saw NeoGAF post it.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Got the Neon one!!!! Holding out on my zelda pre-order until I can get one of the collector editions.

It didn't say the color for mine, just a white screen with no picture available?

 

[HardBoiledWonderland]

If you have gmail, check your promotions tab. That's where mine went.

Same here. Its a little worrisome that on my email they have the pickup date set for next week.. I hope this wasn't all a glitch on their end of things.

 

[Tahnit]

Randomly went to bestbuy to see if they were up. They were and I got one. That worked out well.

Does Best Buy charge you before it's shipped?

 

[reelbigtink]

Dang, I thought BB didn't pre charge so I bit and they instantly took the money out. I used my card and not PayPal.

 

[Burning Justice]

Got a pre-order in... but I may cancel it. Gotta think about it some more...

 

[SCChappy]

i dont have 300 in my account and it gave me a payment error so heads up

 

[jgwhiteus]

Has anyone gotten a confirmation email yet?

It takes a few minutes from when you order. I signed up for a text alert at the same time; got the text alert first, then the confirmation email like 10 minutes later. I even had enough time to cancel my original pre-order (shipping) and place another one for in-store pickup.

 

[Already Torn]

It didn't say the color for mine, just a white screen with no picture available?

If it says "Neon" in the product description you got the one with colors.

 

[outunderthestars]

Mine is in and confirmed.,

 

[Muffin Awesome]

So I did online immediately, for in store pick up.

Got an email with order confirmed and I also called my Credit Card and have the charge pending...

How reliable has Best Buy in the past with preorders?

I am also going brick and mortar tomorrow at GameStop just in case.

Thoughts?

 

[Xdrive05]

Yay! Got my confirmation email showing pickup at my local store. Took a little while, 10-15 minutes, to show up.

Gmail users check your promotions folder.

 

[vgamer1]

It's in the name of the item.

 

[The Lamp]

It says in the title of the page

[NeonBlack]

Pre-ordered because I hate myself

I know the feeling

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Got my confirmation.

 

[cleveridea]

Thanks for posting, preordered for option to change my mind

Man what a terrible lineup though. A lot will depend for me on whether the Wii U Zelda is decently playable, since that's really the only must have game for me on the Switch (there are a lot of games I want like xeno 2 that may be years away who knows)

 

[Deadstar]

Has anyone gotten a confirmation email yet?

Yes I got my confirmation email.

 

[Cody_D165]

Dang, I thought BB didn't pre charge so I bit and they instantly took the money out. I used my card and not PayPal.

It's gonna be a pending charge to verify funds then they'll release that and charge you upon release.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Got my confirmation email.

That almost felt too easy.

Please don't burn me again Nintendo.

 

[dottme]

more and more switch game are popping on amazon. Hopefully, the console come soon.

 

[mstevens]

I'm new to the whole gamer's club thing. It's showing up at $59.99 for Zelda at checkout. Will that be lowered when I go pick it up?

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

they're charging my account for full amount. Pending...

If you've got time that's the smart choice.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Aaaaand the confirmation e-mail just came in. Sweet.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Placed my order for the neon one, got a confirmation email and pending authorization on my card. Hopefully it holds up!

 

[mentallyinept]

I got mine in just in case my in person preorder doesn't work out at GameStop tomorrow.

Standard Switch (non-neon) and Zelda.

Those who have Prime should pre-order their games from Amazon - you get a 20% discount for preordering: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nav_sa...J|B01NBTWOVC|B01MS6MO77|B01MZ8ZGI6|B01MU9VUKN

Pre-ordered both BotW and SMO from Amazon.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Got my neon joycon bundle, with store pick up. Also I got a comfirmation email right away.

 

[alf717]

Do you pay up front or when released? Sorry if this was asked a lot I don't normally do Best Buy orders.

 

[reelbigtink]

It's gonna be a pending charge to verify funds then they'll release that and charge you upon release.

Thanks! Any idea how long the pending charge takes to clear? I'll be afraid to use my debit card tomorrow

 

[Gorilla Shark]

Already got my e-mail confirmation, but I've never done this with Best Buy before. I hope they didn't fuck this up and cancel my order.

 

[gate stormer]

I'm aware it's normal practice, but fuck this preauthorization hold bullshit.

Brick and mortar for me in the morning.

 

[SwordStruck]

No. And this is why I think we're going to see lots of "we're sorry" emails.

I got my confirmation email and text as soon as I ordered, but I also put mine in as soon as their preorders went live, so there's probably a lot going through their system at the moment. Either that or they're taking more preorders than they can fill.

I can't tell if they just suck at this or if they have enough. Other places send out cancellations faster.
