Note: For those who were interested, it is currently showing as £79.99 but when you do checkout, price is actually £66.66 (no VAT) + £3.33 import fees deposit. Was less costly earlier in release cycle but not terribly bad either.... And yes, amazon UK will ship to Canada so ignore what the page info says.

Really? I think the European design loses some of the nostalgic charm.

I mean, ultimately it's more about the games, but I think for this product in particular, it looking like the SNES you grew up with plays a big part in its desirability.

Anyone else still looking for a unit? I have another from the last inventory release from BestBuy.ca but it probably won't arrive until Boxing Week.

If you're looking for one at cost and can wait for delivery that might be after Christmas, please feel free to message me. Otherwise, I'll take them back into a store for a refund once some of the Boxing Week madness subsides.

They are all over the place this time. EBGames in Sunridge mall had at least 20 left at 2:00 when I was there.

Didn't end up grabbing one - barely touched the SNES Classic.

Best Buy: "We can't process your order because your card isn't being authorized by Visa. Call them."

Visa: "Your order was declined by Best Buy. Call them."

Me: "I'll just go to Walmart at 3:30, walk out with one and cancel the online order."

I ****ing hate Verified by Visa. When it is involved, it breaks nearly every transaction I attempt.

Yeah... I found it was cooler in idea than in actually playing it. Most of the games I'm actually interested in I've already played a dozen times over already and they just don't hold my attention for too long as a result.

Fortunately my kid has got a lot of use out of it, but even he gets frustrated at a lot of the archaic game design and goes back to DS or Switch pretty quickly.

I'd be interested if it hasn't already been spoken for.

Guess I'm making a quick run to the mall in Lethbridge tomorrow. Looks like there may be some at both mall locations here. I figure I should go in for myself and experience the disappointment all over again.

Crossing my fingers though.
