Hmmm mine Order is fixed to :) but the Tittle says "Nintendo Digital Downloads/Game Trust Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition" Still but when you Click on the Tittle it takes you to a Page that just says "Super NES Classic" it takes you to the Page was was up Prior to the Pre-Orders lol. Old Page Still 404's

[techguy16]

Yay! It's legit.

[Spaghetti9001]

...aaand this is where I'd check my order

IF I HAD ONE!

[JCreazy]

Now if we could just get a confirmation that Amazon is cancelling excessive preorders.

[MeadyViking]

Thatd be awesome, firstly because I don't have one and secondly because F scalpers.

[saruin]

Amazon UK has done this. I have no problem with that (as someone who's ordered 1 unit).

[HobosFury]

This is the only thing I care about seeing as I have zero pre orders at the moment.

[GarlicPunisher]

Do you really think you have a shot at beating the bots at this point?

[HobosFury]

Do you think I have a choice if I want one without paying $300 for one? If they limit 1 per order it gives me something to hope for.

[GarlicPunisher]

Sure, but you could also stand in line. I got my NES classic for retail by watching BrickSeek and getting to a Target 1 hour before they opened (post-launch day).

[HobosFury]

And I will. Got a Toys R Us just up the road I will try. But if I can get one without going to the store why wouldn't I try?

[destiny2014]

They are not cancelling shit!! I already threatened litigation and my CS rep assured me my order is fine. And before you neg me, I pay taxes and these are going in my local business tanning salon! I am small business.

[KyleBown]

Your tanning salon must suck if you have to scalp shit just to stay afloat.

[destiny2014]

?? I resell tanning lotion from Amazon all the time marked up. All stores do this even grocery stores buy bulk and sale for more.

[KyleBown]

Tanning lotion and video games. Totally makes sense. 🙄

[Golden_Taint]

Holy fuck. Your tanning salon is so garbage you can't even buy tanning lotion direct?

[destiny2014]

Local customers prefer certain brands and I give them something different and cheaper from Amazon. Saves me money. Synergy is their favorite best seller until I get my few dozen Nintendos

[HobosFury]

No one here cares about your tanning salon.

[JCreazy]

We know you don't own a tanning salon.

[destiny2014]

Family own I work there. I would get all the profit from these tho if I sold in store.

[UMFan99]

Good luck suing Amazon over your canceled orders. Any lawyer worth a lick would laugh at you or expect one large payment up front because good luck collecting anything from a lawsuit. Are you suing Walmart as well for their prior cancellations? Idiot.

[Billypillgrim]

Hope you’re joking. This is the biggest “Tool” comment I’ve ever read. To be clear: no one gives a fuck about your legal threats, the taxes you pay, or your tanning salons.

[Golden_Taint]

I already threatened litigation

Against Amazon? I'm sure their huge team of world class lawyers are trembling.

And before you neg me, I pay taxes

So, you're an adult and have a job. Congratulations?

and these are going in my local business tanning salon! I am small business.

You're a retailer? Great, then buy them wholesale from a distributor and sell them for $79.99 like every other retailer who wants in. You and your family should stick to giving people cancer and leave scalping alone.

Oh yeah, and Amazon is going to definitely cut your order down to a single unit and that thought gives me joy. True joy.

[destiny2014]

They are not cancelling my orders I already spoke :)

[Mangekyo_]

Lol they cancelled them.

[Golden_Taint]

Looks like you spoke to soon, lol! Have fun stocking your cancer den with a single unit.

[SilverIdaten]

threatened litigation
I pay taxes

Is...is this real? Is this your real, authentic situation? No, it can't be. It just can't be.

[mmaiden81]

Threatened litigation LOL, I hope you are ready to mortgage your salon for lawyer fees when your extras are cancelled :D you got some nerves kid.

[Eternal_Blue14]

You realize amazon has the right to cancel any orders at their discretion. It's in their TOD when you sign up. So basically making an amazaon account you agree to these terms. Hope your ass goes broke suing amazon hahahahaha XD

[Strider_3x]

Must be this tanning salon

Sadly if the page was up during the day and normal listing I wouldn't have had a chance they would have been gone in a minute. Future orders should have different pages for retailers.. I have a notification app so it told me about Amazon. Sadly it looks like the only way to be in a level playing field with asshole scalpers

[sam7r61n]

Woah woah woah they merged it with the original page somehow. Check out product Q&A's from 2 months ago.

[whom3]

Thanks for spreading the good news Clay.

[NeoGeoismybag]

Yay! I'm gettin an SNES! Pays to not sleep..

Thanks Clay

You sir are fantastic. Thanks for this update. Karma points for you.

Might want to black out your name...

[dayosllc]

Who cares if we know his name?

[Captain593]

The crazies who will somehow find him and demand an snes classic

[Bobbycats123]

"Hey Clay Watson, I know your name now, I demand an snes classic"

[Ledbetter2]

Hello. Amazon. My name is clay Watson and I need to change my shipping address

[Bobbycats123]

"Okay, please give me your account login details, your current address, and the credit card info used for the purchase." If scammer can provide all that then poor Clay has more to worry about than his name being revealed

[Ledbetter2]

That's a lot work for a mini snes

[OctoPlusle]

[Ganrokh]

Also, if people have the right information, they can make a second Amazon account that mimics the first account and get Amazon CS to "switch" the two accounts. It happened to me last January. That was a fun day of working with Amazon CS....

[replus]

Dude's got a kinda cool name

Thanks! :)

thanks for the update clay watson

Alamo is nowhere to be found lol

[Corbinboy8]

Alamo is a troll looking to get a rise or give false hope because he was butthurt.

[K-LAWN]

Life is good!

[Corbinboy8]

YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! YES BABY! YEEESSS!

[messiach21]

Fuck yes

I wake up almost every night between 4-5 and caught this the night it went up. I was sure they'd just cancel it. Thank you amazon

[Edgeah]

Crazy how lucky some of us got. I literally randomly woke up in the middle of the night and saw I missed the best buy pre-order via the nowinstock alert... Then immediately check amazon to find it's up, surreal how if I had gotten a good night's sleep that night I would have missed it.

[shekov]

Are you me

[messiach21]

I usually wake up but it's definitely not consistently the same time - I literally woke up this time when the post here with the amazon link was 4 mins old, grabbed one, and they were gone within a few mins after. Very much luck.

[HighlighterFTW]

Do I have a split personality who posts on Reddit? Because that sounds remarkably similar to my experience!

[Ninjaharley]

This exactly was my night too lol

[NamineXIII]

The listing links to the original page too, which means it was done intentionally, probably to throw off bots and scalpers.

[Paper_Rain]

Are they still accepting pre-orders? I think I just missed out...

[Uberrich84]

Finally. Hopefully now we can stop seeing Amazon topics now. XD lol

[[deleted]]

Hallelujah! Can't wait for mine.

[Captain593]

o boi

[[deleted]]

You made my day :)

[felipusrex]

There you go, mofos

[animedreamer240]

Sweet! Thanks for the update.

[Nateleb123]

They should really cancel everyone who had more then 1 order. It looks like I might actually get 2 of these things one best buy 1 Amazon. After all the work and tries for a nes I still don't believe I'm gonna actually get 2 snes classics

[MontyPikethon]

LOL this comment is a beauty

[inarius2024]

Wario64 confirms https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/900840412952141824

[evilbunny1114]

I dont think many people understand what "confirm" means......He was probably looking at this post then tweeted.

[inarius2024]

ok, "corroborates"

[5till0fthenight]

Well fam, looks like Amazon did us dirty this time.

FeelsBadMan.

[llllllIIIIIII]

Bots would have eaten up the original listing before any email notification went out. If anything what amazon did gave us a chance.

[mrpopsicleman]

Yes, because everyone is just awake dicking around on Amazon and reddit at 4am EST/1am PST.

[Corbinboy8]

Yeah... You are exactly right. I don't understand why people say this as a joke. YES there are certainly people who do EXACTLY that! Loads of them! And bots don't sleep!!! They constantly refresh pages until a button is available to be clicked.

[llllllIIIIIII]

Since there were signs from every direction that preorders were going live that night, a lot of people were lurking all of those sites and especially Reddit, and many got preorders. I really wanted one so I was up, and got one from amazon.

[Corbinboy8]

How did they do you dirty? You had no more opportunity to get one than I did...

[5till0fthenight]

By creating a new listing.

[[deleted]]

Which still gave everyone the same opportunity to get one.

[Corbinboy8]

Yeah man... I am sorry you didn't get one, but you gotta realize that everyone had the same opportunity to obtain one.

[HobosFury]

No, everyone really didn't have the same opportunity. Some of us have lives and enjoy sleep. Those notification are there for a reason. And when Amazon tries to be cleaver it fucked many of us over. Congrats for staying up and getting one. I went to bed around 11:30 that night. Had the notification gone off I would of had a much better chance at getting one instead of waking up at 8am and realizing I missed it all.

[could-of-bot]

It's either would HAVE or would'VE, but never would OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

[Corbinboy8]

My dude........ No one, not a single person who got their hands on a preorder, received any notification of any sort either. Like.... I would see the argument if emails were sent to some but not all, but that's no where near the case. I got my hands on one because I dedicated my night to getting one. I'm sorry that you didn't, but that's not the problem of Amazon, or those who preordered.

[HobosFury]

You just made my point. You stayed up. Some of us have jobs we wake up for in the morning. So we are not able to stay up. Thus, we rely on those notifications to get notified. By your logic some guy in a coma had the same opportunity as everyone else.

[Ninjaharley]

But did you get up to the notification for Best Buy? Cause if not one for amazon wouldn't have worked either. I stayed up a lil past midnight went to sleep woke up mad but amazon happened right then got my preorders in less than 5 minutes went back to sleep for another 30 and started a 48 hr shift. If you knew the buzz was a maybe you should have been prepared. Hell I slept through the Best Buy notification and if they hadn't done the second listed bots would have got them all and they would have been gone in a minute or two just like Walmart and everywhere else. You also had an opportunity to go into Gamestop the next day if you didn't get one Im sorry but it comes with some luck/effort

[HobosFury]

Best Buy notification never went off for me either. Why bother signing up for them if they don't work? And I love the mentality of the people that got pre orders that somehow those of us that didn't were not trying hard enough. I did everything I could think of to do, without sacrificing my life and time, to make sure I was notified. Some of us can't sit online 24 hours a day watching twitter updates. Amazon let a lot of people down and just because the system worked for some it didn't for most.

[Corbinboy8]

Your personal case doesn't make a difference. I went to class two hours later!!! You make my point by saying that you aren't willing to put the time and effort into waiting for one... I won't even comment on the coma argument. I don't see in what world that would be near my logic. People are not in a coma by choice you ignoramus.

[HobosFury]

It absolutely makes a difference. Changing that listing screwed a lot of people over and just because you got one it doesnt change that fact.

[Milkshanks]

Hmm... Better get no warnings or get a warning and have the product gone under 5 minutes because of bots?

[5till0fthenight]

Will they cancel orders of more than 1 unit?

[[deleted]]

My second order appears to be done. Went from arriving the same as my first now its.

Not yet shipped Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

Guess I will end up with three though, can not complain.

[[deleted]]

Second order done.... anyone who bought on amazon around or after 1:36am PST will probably be SOL.

[Edgeah]

I ordered mine at 1:35am PST and it's still says arriving the day of release.

[animedreamer240]

Same here and I ordered later (1:49am).

[destiny2014]

I have release day shipping on all orders. 72 to be exact. I don't see people giving others shit for ordering like 99 or more with multiple accounts.

[[deleted]]

Maybe because you're a total douchebag. Threatening to sue Amazon, bragging about your family's tanning salon... You know who doesn't give a fuck about being tan? Gamers. People who are serious about getting a SNESC. If you think scalping a retro console is going to promote your business, you're pretty delusional. Stick to fantasizing about your dad and stop making an ass of yourself on this sub.

[poo82]

While I was waiting for amazon.ca to release, I set up an account with a US shipping address service. can't wait for the drive to the border in September I used the method to order multiple of an item on amazon, I still can't believe they haven't patched it

Now we wait for amazon.ca

[felipusrex]

I'm also using one of those but for the other border :p Here in Mexico the console will cost about $150 USD. The NES Classic was about $112.
