I wouldn't bother with grainger games they'll end up refunding you assuming you do get through to the site eventually.

I hope not but bet you're right. I've took a gamble and preordered with them anyway.

Same here, ordered last night through Grainger, worth a shot.

I have the NES Classic and it's excellent.

I missed out on the NES classic. I have a pre-order through the Nintendo store this time. It's a bit sill as I have nearly all of the games and my old SNES set up in my snug, but it'll be a nice to have, especially with the HDMI output.

Any other hints on where to get one please?

[Sheetmaself]

Sadly i think the only place to buy one is on ebay from some scum who never wanted it in the first place.

Smyths dont seem to be doing pre orders so if your quick on release day you might get one, thats my hope.

Nearly had one yesterday as mate in Japan and over there they arent in short supply, but it looks like you cant change the gameplay language only the menu language.

Argos had them at 8.00 this morning, they sold out in a couple of minutes, might be worth checking John Lewis in the next few days they carry a small line of Nintendo so you never know,

there is nothing on the argos store saying it is sold out from what i can see.

cool, my colleague tried to order one a few minutes after me at 8.00 this morning and the site stated out of stock, hopefully a few others can get one now

Just ordered on argos. £69.99 with free delivery

Argos still apparently have stock for delivery. The site lets you add as many as you want to your cart, which doesn't inspire confidence.. either Nintendo really are ramping up supply or Argos are just speculatively taking orders.

Missed it. Again.

Looks like the scalpers are out in force again. bds.

[Hoink]

Thank you. I managed to get one at Argos so am cancelling the one from Grainger Games.

Would love it if Nintendo produced more than enough to meet demand and the scalpers end up with a load of depreciated assets. Unlikely, but one can hope!

As soon as my loft conversion is done and I get my man cave sorted, my original SNES will be coming out of storage. Rose tinted glasses are being cleaned as we speak...

The 16-bit graphics have stood the test of time pretty damn well (more so SNES than Megadrive given the larger colour palette). Compare that to PS1 or 2 games which look truly god-damn awful, by comparison.

I've had my SNES out for some time and whilst it only gets occasional use Mario Kart, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Bomberman, Super Mario World, Secret of Mana, Legend of Zelda ... they are all just as playable today as they ever were.

Heads up, ToysRus have them, just bagged one.

[markoc]

Having ordered one... can they use cartridges or is it just a box of tricks that looks like it can?

Cheers mate.

I have just ordered one. I was lucky enough to have got a Mini NES the first time around as well, so I am becoming a bit of a Nintendo fanboy.
