Damn, I was busy all day and missed the boat. Here's hoping Nintendo make a bunch. I'm not going to hold by breath though.

Yeah it is Nintendo, they can't even make enough amiibo's lol.

Game is just getting hammered. At one point I had 5 preorders in the basket from clicking many times but couldn't go to the basket to amend and make order.

I wouldn't bother, they are horrible versions.

Interestingly a lot of the NI Smyths stores still show stock for collection...

Snes Classic will only be in production for 2017. So we have been warned, unlike with the Nes Classic.

Wait until it goes on sale on Amazon.com ?

Finally managed to preorder through Game using the mobile app.

GhostWKD · 27 Jun 2017 at 00:11

Been trying on game for hours with no luck :-(

Now being removed from my basket when I try checkout saying it's out of stock - only feeling a little bitter about those ordering multiples

Neil79 · 27 Jun 2017 at 00:25

Out of stock Amazon, Smyths and more

Glad I got it pre-ordered now

grimm · 27 Jun 2017 at 00:30

I managed to pre-order from Game.
