I'm just hoping it doesn't immediately sell out to some scalper assholes who then put 30 of them up on eBay for crazy prices. Some are already up there (essentially buying a preorder) for over $100.

Would be nice if we could get an exact time and date for when they'll be available to preorder or just order on amazon.

Yeah on Amazon it's already getting marked up by scalpers:

At this time the prices range from $325-599, a full 10x retail price :P.

I managed to place an order through GameStop even though their site was swamped.  And Target looks they will have some stock in stores.

Sold out EVERYWHERE! :(

No thanks.

Heading to GameStop in about 10 minutes!

Oh wow, I had no idea the thing is sold out everywhere. I also didn't know it should release today. Good thing I went to Media Markt yesterday where there were just 30 units sitting, waiting to be picked up by some lucky souls like myself. I mean the things didn't even have a price tag yet, but I didn't care, I would have paid whatever they wanted. They wanted 69 €.

There are 12 at my GameStop. I'm 12th in line. Hopefully everyone buys only one.

Lol no. I have a CFW PS3 for these type of things.

Wtf, it's already sold out here. Didn't expect that.

Hmm my friend actually received the message and they copy and pasted it to me, it definitely said PM.

I'm guessing it would be though since that would be 2am PT. Although I'd prefer that since it would be super easy for me to wake up at 6:30AM (Newfoundland timezone) order, and go back to sleep :)

Double checked my email, "The NES Classic will be available for sale at 2:00 p.m. PT on Friday, November 11". I assume this is for all of US. Did your email say 5pm?

It said 2pm PST / 5pm EST. Which is what I have to try for now since EB Games, Best Buy, etc all sold out already =

I was up right when it went on sale at Best Buy, had one in my cart, got to the checkout and it was too late. They weren't reserving copies in cart apparently :(
