As expected. The only nintendo console people want to buy and they can't buy it.

 

[Weevilone]

He didn't get any. He's trolling, and this is probably an alt account. Pay it no attention.

Yeah I was still seeing red when I posted it. Logic kicked in 30 seconds later.

Also, someone else mentioned scalpers on T1's.. T1's aren't fast anymore.

 

[Erekiddo]

so lets see $60 x 7 units total today = $420


selling each at around $200 = $1400


not a bad turn around for a hour of work!

I got one, but please. Take this bullshit to another forum that cares.

 

[KaYotiX]

I got the "In Stock" screen 3 times and it never ended up in my shopping cart damn.

Same and I was on different devices trying to snag one

 

[alf717]

The dream is dead. I lost =(

You're a liar. And you know it.

 

[Sephzilla]

except you and everyone who keeps quoting and giving him attention....

taking the bait would be actually taking him seriously

 

[maxcriden]

It is just your cookies. Controllers been gone since before the console.

shows in stock but adding to your cart tells you outta stock.

Thanks. Sorry about that.

 

[Lakerchick4life]

Amazon tweeted this:
We're out of stock on the NES Classic Edition. We will let you know when we get more in stock.

That's NUTS It never even appeared in STOCK

 

[Red]

Controller is still here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JT77EDK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

NVM, LegendofLex and PAULINK and Minions clued me in, sorry all:

"We're sorry. The item Nintendo NES Controller - NES is no longer available from the seller you selected. To see if it's available from another seller, click here to return to the item's product detail page."





This post sheds some light (and hopefully more units are coming soon):

Still have to wonder why retailers did not anticipate this thing would sell. No one wrote for more than a handful of orders?

[majik13]

dammit stepped away for 10 mins because I thought they were gone, got back to my desk, and the add cart button was up, but got an error and nothing in my cart.....dammit

 

[Fixins]

i've prooven myself on two seperate occasions today, don't feel the need to proove anymore. sorry you guys aren't Amazon VIPs with corporate accounts

 

[Rockman]

I didn't but a lot of people did from this link: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01JT77EDK/212-53-20/

too late now.

Oh well, missed it. At least I have some classic controllers I can use for two player games. Also helps that the home button is on there for menu access. But yeah seriously, screw those scalpers.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Nintendo will forever be a joke when it comes to stocking items. Fucking ridiculous.

And fuck the scalpers selling a $10 controller for $200. You're scum.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm pissed that i got all the way to clicking the "submit order" button and THEN it fucking was out of stock

 

[MG310]

I got as far as having an add to cart button but it would always go to an empty cart when clicked. Back to unavailable now.

 

[bronk]

dammit stepped away for 10 mins because I thought they were gone, got back to my desk, and the add cart button was up, but got an error and nothing in my cart.....dammit

I think we all got that add to cart and got excited.....but nothing :/

 

[Lasthope106]

I'm just glad I was able to get one last night. This is part of the fun folks. Took me 6 freaking months to get a launch PS2. You won't get to play it today, but 6 months from now you will be having a blast!

 

[Jamaro85]

This can't be life.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

And now the seller page for the console is straight up gone. Like, not even a white screen, just GONE. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IFJBQ1E/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[FinKL]

That's NUTS It never even appeared in STOCK

Pretty much, it was a lottery if it appeared in stock for you, although I did get it to appear in stock, adding to cart made it disappear

 

[Skatterd]

Lol fucking Nintendo
I've heard people asking for this everywhere I go one after the other. The amazon page crashed and sold out instantly.
They would have made a killing off of this thing. But they'll likely do this artificial scarcity thing to after Christmas and a lot of people will lose interest.
I just don't get it.

 

[Weevilone]

dammit stepped away for 10 mins because I thought they were gone, got back to my desk, and the add cart button was up, but got an error and nothing in my cart.....dammit

Sleep well knowing it didn't matter. I had insta-buy or whatever going and it would just go to an empty cart.

 

[friskykillface]

That kid must live a sad life and needs to be quoted to feel alive

Or just trolling is a sexual thrill or something

 

[Koppai]

i've prooven myself on two seperate occasions today, don't feel the need to proove anymore. sorry you guys aren't Amazon VIPs with corporate accounts

I wonder why you are a junior and will probably always be one with that snarky attitude.

I should've waited in line outside of Best Buy, I would've been first in line. <_>;

 

[perfectchaos007]

Amazon tweeted this:
We're out of stock on the NES Classic Edition. We will let you know when we get more in stock.

I have been on the notification list for this product since August and they haven't sent me any emails about it being available yet. I wont hold my breath

 

[Kintaco]

Glad I forgot about Amazon. Didn't need the added disappointment.

 

[SalvaPot]

so lets see $60 x 7 units total today = $420


selling each at around $200 = $1400


not a bad turn around for a hour of work!

 

[Kyrios]

I was wrong about guessing "More than 1".

They probably just HAD 1

 

[IamDodongo]

Lotta bait ITT

i've prooven myself on two seperate occasions today, don't feel the need to proove anymore. sorry you guys aren't Amazon VIPs with corporate accounts

You would be a Trump fan lol

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Nintendo will forever be a joke when it comes to stocking items. Fucking ridiculous.

And fuck the scalpers selling a $10 controller for $200. You're scum.

If you look at the description they are selling the console cause the other page is still down

 

[blankempathy]

Nintendo will forever be a joke when it comes to stocking items. Fucking ridiculous.

Honestly its a bit depressing that everytime Nintendo releases something rare/collectable that you have to camp out to get the thing. Its one of the biggest reasons I stopped collecting amiibos. I got sick and tired of daily reading amiibo sites and having nowinstock running 24/7.

 

[rubes7844]

I'm fucking set. My buddy at Gamestop held me one while there were 30 sad sack of souls waiting in the cold for 8 units and snagged my 3rd controller.

 

[killdatninja]

I tried for another one from amazon but no dice , I got one from Best buy, I would like a second one to keep in box or give as a gift for X-mas.

 

[mightynine]

And now the seller page for the console is straight up gone. Like, not even a white screen, just GONE. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IFJBQ1E/?tag=neogaf0e-20

But now I kind of want to meet the Dogs of Amazon.

 

[jbug617]

I had got the page to load with the add to cart but every time i add to cart it would not show up.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

If you look at the description they are selling the console cause the other page is still down

I'm talking about the people on ebay who are doing this.

 

[bronk]

I'm just glad I was able to get one last night. This is part of the fun folks. Took me 6 freaking months to get a launch PS2. You won't get to play it today, but 6 months from now you will be having a blast!

I remember that! My cousins bf (he is a piece of shit) couldn't get one so he waited in parking lot at a toys r us and stole one from someone walking out. Fucking dummy got caught and served time in jail OVER A PS2. He needed that Madden I suppose. Good thing hes an ex now and my cousin wisened up.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol meet the dogs of Amazon now on the page

Dem dogs
Rufus is best dog

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I wonder why you are a junior and will probably always be one with that snarky attitude.

He's a junior because he's an alt. account.

 

[Owari]

i've prooven myself on two seperate occasions today, don't feel the need to proove anymore. sorry you guys aren't Amazon VIPs with corporate accounts

My uncle works at Nintendo so I got 9 NES minis for free. Sold at around 300 each is about 2700 profit. I win.

 

[maxcriden]

Oh well, missed it. At least I have some classic controllers I can use for two player games. Also helps that the home button is on there for menu access. But yeah seriously, screw those scalpers.

I really hope you're able to find one soon, man. It's a bummer how these went so quickly. Hopefully restocks will be great on these sooner or later and at least you have the classic controller option at the ready (those are plenty comfortable at least!).

 

[Kaladin]

I hope all of you that got one enjoy those 3 foot chords.

 

[MrNelson]

I'm fucking set. My buddy at Gamestop held me one while there were 30 sad sack of souls waiting in the cold for 8 units and snagged my 3rd controller.

Seriously, fuck you and your friend.

 

[DecoReturns]

I'm guessing Amazon was a failure.

Turns out there's a couple available where I live. You need to go in person tho. Didn't get it since I don't need it now and I'm willing to wait till December.

 

[BorntoPlay]

i got one from Amazon, plus one controller!! =D

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I really hope every person that buys one from you files a charge back and you lose all your money.

That's fraud, so let's not advocate for that.

 

[FallingEdge]

Like I said, you needed a bot and a way to auto refresh. Either do that or get lucky.

 

[rubes7844]

Seriously, fuck you and your friend.

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
