Bestbuy.ca at 10. Another shot.

Frankly, this is way easier than the NES which never even when on preorder online in Canada if I recall correctly.

Really? I heard they sent out emails yesterday that there was a stock shortage and that those who pre-ordered earlier this month may not get theirs right away.

I guess I'm looking at NES with no preorders at all. Versus the SNES where we've had multiple websites (and some doing multiple waves) of preorders. Demand between the two are different though.

Looks like I got one from Best Buy online.

Awaiting the inevitable "sorry, blah, blah" email.

No confirmation yet. I did get the PayPal confirmation.

The controller cable is longer than the NES Mini one was; 5' long instead of 3' long.

Amazon.ca is a go. Prime only. Should only be 1 per and should last a while. Gogogogogo!

Ok, so I got a confirmation from Amazon and Best Buy and I also have Walmart waiting in limbo.

All I want is one console.

In the event that I receive more than one I'll put it on the CP Buy/Sell for the same price that I paid (including tax, shipping) depending on where it comes from.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh man, I did not expect to be able to get one. Makes my venting a few posts back look a little silly, but my point still stands with Nintendo.

Bestbuy just said they've sold out but follow them on twitter for the "next batch".

Okay, I think that's it for the online preorder/order stuff. Most stores are probably done for today. Amazon still has it up, you guys can always do a trial of Prime and the bail on it to get an order in.

Anyhow, I'm gonna get back to all my real life stuff.

I ordered an Amazon as well. I'll offer up to friends/family first and if no one wants it'll go on CP for retail price (+ tax).
