Didn't the NES Classic get an Amazon pre-order, but only for Prime members?

I meant directly from Nintendo. Others might like toysrus last time. But who knows, Too early to tell.

Prime only deals suck...

[Greg2600]

Eventually Amazon was only selling via Prime, 1 per account. My buddy got one, but by the time I did the free trial sign up, they were gone.

Well at least the companion book is available for preorder.

Ok that's bookmarked. I think $45 is asking a bit much. I paid $25 at retail (toys r us) for a hardcover NES Playing with Power.

[TPA5]

That book is pretty neat, maybe I'll pick it up some time. I agree with Tanooki though, $45 is a little bit much.

[0078265317]

Well that is hard cover. Soft cover is only 20 bucks.

[Flojomojo]

I think it should be a downloadable PDF, for free!

[Tanooki]

Maybe so but $20 -> $45 for just some pressed paper/cardboard 'hardback' backing to the same book is bs. It's a straight up fan tax stunt. I could see +$10 but not +$25.

The nes version should of been also. Actually all books should be pdf.

They did some nice Nintendo Power guide books to most of these games. It seems a shame to bury them.

I just pre-ordered on Wal-Marts website after receiving an in-store alert email.

Sent from my Phrenologists waiting room.

Me too, lasted less than 40 minutes.

It's $26 currently. Preorder price guarantee?

I got the Walmart email in the afternoon at like 1pm while visiting the War In The Pacific - National Park while using an temporary Iphone 4s burner phone from my brother. I sat there in the middle of the place ordering using slow as heck 3G, along with the slow as heck Iphone.. it took like 15 minutes but managed to get an order out. The wife was just asking what the heck I was doing.

Someone notified about the pre-order page while I was streaming last night and I was able to snag one. Looking forward to trying Star Fox 2! Here's to hoping more become available to pre-order.

Preorder? Which website?

If it was a snake it would have bit you.

I see that now, when I wrote it the hardcover was $44.99 -- just preordered it. Even if the system is a bitch to get, at the very worst, it's a fun read and solid guide for all those titles. I have them basically anyway -- this is all about Starfox 2 for me primarily, HDMI+portability second to that.

 

 

And on that -- Walmart I think if they had it that long, it was another scalper bot slam night for sure. I got a text about it as it went up, couldn't for a half hour buy the damn thing as it was in my cart, then clicking pre-order would pop up and black and white box with an error about it. It was like some Amazon NES CE flashback all over again. I'd rather try and forget that crap but everyone is talking it up now. Needless to say I'm not amused.

Anyone been canceled yet? Sounds like it may be happening for at least some people that preordered it at Wal-Mart.

Hahahahahahaha! Suckas never learn.

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...

[cybercylon]

Maybe Walmart pulled the trigger? Did it pass the FCC rules yet? (I know some regulation thing was holding it up in the US, but I am not scrolling back).

 

Once they are gone, I wonder what the scalping prices will be for this?
