128Kgames Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Are they cancelling multiple orders or simply everyone who exceeded the inventory before the product went OOS? I hope they cancel those asshats buying ten of them. And cancel the entire order, not just 9/10. Teach them a lesson about being greedy... I think the real asshats this time at least last night was Walmart - who the hell puts on item for sale up at 11:30 PM? (That's when my message was sent). I'm relaxing after a hard days work, the last thing I'm doing is reading my email. I hope those dumbasses list it again before the sale date.

I've seen it done at 3am before. Also it was 10:30 in my time zone. Was watching the rebroadcast of Snowfall (ep3) on FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/some-snes-classic-pre-orders-from-walmart-are-gett/1100-6451969/?utm_source=gamefaqs&utm_medium=partner&utm_content=news_module&utm_campaign=homepage Seems like Walmart started presale too soon and had to cancel them. I do hope they prioritize cancelling all pre-orders of more than 1 system to stop flippers and give more people a chance at actually getting one to keep.

Greg2600 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Firstly, if the reason to cancel was that the system was released too early, why not cancel all of them in one big swoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPA5 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I, for one, would love to see the stats on how many people who boldy declared they would "Never support Nintendo again" are now frothing at the mouth to get a SNES Classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadsilverfox Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Cracks me up how some people have an entitlement complex. They get all upset because some of the SNES mini pre-orders are being cancelled and start posting YouTube videos.

Bwahahahahahaha It shouldn't surprise me, but it does, that there are so many ill-adjusted people in the world. It's a pre-order for a piece of plastic. Sure, it's a cool piece of plastic, but hardly something to lose sleep over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Pretty much everyone I know had it cancelled today. I would say ALL orders will eventually be dropped. Walmart couldn't even offer a coupon or something for the trouble. As for complaining, I'm sorry but Walmart EMAILED the availability, and we bought it. This was their debacle, not ours.

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm going to work soon so I won't be able to wait around for Best Buy to open it's doors like I did with the NES Mini. That said, I'll have a lot more disposable income, so if the scalper situation isn't 2-300% ridiculous markup, I may bite, much as I don't want to support those asshats.

No way would I ever buy one from a reseller marked above retail price. Just take that extra disposable income and throw it in a good index mutual fund.

icemanxp300 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Damn resellers buying from resellers who can't even resell right! Wal-Mart just smartened up and decided to skip the 2nd level of resellers and just keep them all to resell for 2nd level reseller prices, Not sure how anyone buys anything these days when the only way to buy is from resellers in the first place. You would all starve if you didn't buy from resellers as well. There is not much you buy that has not been marked up and sold for more.

Osgeld Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) true, but its for the sake of convenience, I could buy milk from the local processor, and drive 40 min to get there, or hell I could buy it direct from the farm and process it myself, cant be that hard, just need to spend a day or two setting it all up scalpers buying up the entire milk supply before it even hits the resellers store, and charging 400$ per gallon is a totally different thing, go ask most of south america resellers vs scalpers is a different argument, keep your pants on Edited July 27, 2017 by Osgeld 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I had the hope that they simply over sold the pre-orders and people's orders that weren't axed in the first couple of days got a pass, but I received my cancellation today. I'm pretty disappointed. Edited July 27, 2017 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 My guess is that someone at Walmart central screwed up, and activated the item as available. Nintendo likely forced them to cancel the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doable here. My plan is to move even further away from people than I already am. If there's one thing we have an abundance of, it's space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
