My efforts:

Bestbuy.ca said my order was complete and confirmed. No confirmation email, and when I click the order number in my account I get an error.

Ebgames website was all borked, and clicking add item to cart had not effect.

Target International said order was complete, but again no confirmation email, and order is not listed in my account.

This is almost certainly fine, it takes them a while normally to get it sorted out.

congrats to everyone that got one. I am not a huge fan of this system of preordering at all. It shouldn't be this hard to give a company money for a product.

Yep, now also got an email from BestBuy. I'm tentative about considering it confirmed 100% until it shows up at my door.

Well, it is like this for a lot of game/system releases to be honest. Perhaps not to this degree but some collector's editions, Mondo stuff, etc. are super valuable as a result.

Yes EB does in person, their allocations to store are separate. I managed to get one at 1130 by hustling my ass and being one of the last few. I got a switch preorder at the same location. Seems much better than racing bots.

Yeah I got a Switch in person at EB Games the day they went up. Probably have better luck with that if you can hustle to a store right away.

Thank you for the tip. I just ran a few red lights to go to the Deerfoot City location and got one. They said they have 18 units allocated for them and have probably 2 or 3 left right now.

To those who didn't/couldn't get one on pre-order today, go to Walmart on release day and you should have a pretty good chance of getting one.

They usually have 12-16 units per store and they do first come first serve, plus they are the earliest store to open (at 7am). So there is no need to line up till like 10/11 for stores like EB Games / Bestbuy to open. Make sure you go to the store the night before and inquire how many units will be available.

Last year for the Mini Classic I went to line up at 5:15-ish and was surprised that I was the first person there. The second person showed up at 5:25. More people starting to show up at around 5:45/6-ish. And I believe the latest person to show up and still got a unit was at around 6:15. Not too bad. but mind you that it was in November and kind of cold last time around. This time being in September and we having crazy hot weather will encourage more people to come out to line up.

Good luck to all.
