Got mine in the nick of time... unless they cancel it!

You probably got it in on time Beardcore84. Just checked the link again and all the preorders crashed it. Sent some good karma your way too +1.

All of them. They went up due to an error.

There are reports now that Walmart has cancelled all the preorders, perhaps due to Nintendo.  There are also reports that Nintendo is releasing "Significantly more" SNES Classics than the NES Classics (a good thing), but Nintendo also not confirming that they will be even be producing them after the holiday season.

I get that Nintendo needs to protect themselves, but as a consumer I find these tactics frustrating and tiring.  I still plan on going out and trying to find one, but I find the above news disheartening and demoralizing to the point of inaction.  Personally I'd rather see the return of those $99 New 3DS Mario systems from last year, but that is just me.

Okay.  Back into near silence for me.

Yep, my pre-order was canceled with the rest of them. Hopefully they are still easily available as Nintendo claims they will be.
