@Burning_Spear Why do you need 3??? Why couldn't you have just bought one and left the others for other people who otherwise may not be able to get one once they sell out??? This is exactly what pisses me off so much.
Really??? Then why is there not a single one available in our entire state??? I have called every single store within reasonable driving distance for us (Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, Gamestop, etc.) and NONE of them have any in stock. Best Buy confirmed that the entire state is completely sold out. I am getting REALLY sick of Nintendo's crap. We tried to get the NES classic when it came out last year, but we were never able to because they sold out so quickly. Sorry, but I have a full-time job and I don't have the time (or even desire) to stand in line outside of a store at 7 am to get one. Some of us work for a living and I absolutely refuse to pay the outrageous prices that people are selling them for online. It royally pisses me off that people go out and buy these things, taking them out of the hands of people who genuinely want to buy them for themselves or their kids, etc., only to turn around and resell them for 2 to 3 times as much as the retail price. I am SO done with Nintendo. They KNOW how highly demanded these consoles are, yet they NEVER make even remotely enough of them and then discontinue them 6-12 months later, not giving people a chance to get their hands on one. This is getting absolutely ridiculous and is beyond infuriating. My husband and I so badly wanted one of these SNES classic consoles. I have so many fond memories of this console from my childhood, but thanks to the greed of Nintendo and the people buying these things for the sole purpose of selling them for 2 to 3 times what they are worth, we will likely never get one. It's completely unfair and downright wrong.
