Nah was legit, picked up two last night (reserved over 2 local stores)...most the line was for Fifa mind
Smyths had sweetshop rules round my way too so only allowing two folks in at a time. Still wasnt too bad, was 1/2hour wait on first one...second was immediate as they were just about closing the door and thankfully sorted it!
On a seperate note, is the rrp on this £69.99 or have Nintendo just slashed on their site?

I called the store again today and they told me to wait for an email or text. They seemed pretty clueless about the whole thing. :smile: Think I might just walk in tomorrow when they open.

Anyone had an email or text from Smyths yet for their pre-order? I know they're in stock as my brother was able to reserve two at Smyths in Longton yesterday after the Manager confirmed they were in stock and they had some cancellations!

Zoiks. Seems like pre-orders sold out everywhere at the moment. I guess Argos will open them up at some point too..

I would also like to know why Nintendo aren't supplying a power cable with this? it's like selling a mobile phone with no charger!

Seems to all be OOS. Which it should be I guess as pre orders. But won't let me select any store...am I missing something?

Some are available 300+ miles away from London...

given previous experience they can and will cancel anytime security checks they call it.Thats why they are not sold out yet and might keep coming back as available as orders are cancelled.

And why do you think that is?

would have ordered a bagful but Smyths are woeful at cancelling orders if you order too many, and wont cancel until the last minute if its click and collect.

Someone ordered 3 yesterday (I'm sure it was presents not to scalp greedily) and had theirs cancelled so I'm unsure whether they may limit to one per customer

What's the wad of cash for?
Half the price without the case as an alternative as it's sold out here.

3rd time I've read this comment on several threads lol I'm sure if you call Smyths directly then can place the order to collect for you

''No payment has been taken yet. As part of our Pre-Order price promise, if the price decreases between now and when your order is dispatched, you will be charged the lower price.

Ya. Got one reserved with them for £10. Apparently they put it up to £50 at some point during the day because people were coming in and trying to order 10 at once. Phoned them to make sure the £10 still counted (it did) and that's what they said.

Do they take the money now for click & collect preorders?

I managed to get one pre-ordered instore at Game in Aberdeen. Was told over the phone that chances of them still taking orders by tomorrow would be slim. If there's a Game nearby and you want one, i'd give them a try

My only local store is currently having a refurbishment so click and collect not available for a few weeks so wont let me order even though the click and collect counter will be up and running again by release.

Add a few ingredients: small wad of cash, a scaled 3d printed NES case, a handful of components and some NES style 8Bitdo Pro pads.......cool as ice!

Managed to buy 50 - nice little profit on ebay!!
Probably be my luck and Nintendo will keep churning out a better console when everyone is willing to pay £200+ for an 8 bit console....
The general public never cease to amaze me. Wasn't the mini NES just a bit carp and you can play all the games, with wireless controllers on a Wii?
Maybe I am missing something or too old....
Wishing I had never sold my N64 that was pristine and with a load of games - then again I kinda grew out of it when I became bored of the games and an adult - so maybe not!!
Would love to play NES games and Master system games though now - craving those basic graphics and sound. We all used to play on our NES once the Super NES was released.
Said no one. Ever!

I believe the rrp is actually £79.99 and smyths slightly messed up on the price last night hopefully they will honor the price if not no biggie.

I'm sure if you send them a card and a box of chocolates they'll let you have one. Still, we don't need to hear about it on every single Smyths thread... X)

If you don't manage to get one a good alternative is a raspberry pi and snes controllers from Amazon + Retropie. You can then install more than the games listed for a lot less money. Not as cool as this but just an option.
