Bah! >.< Gonna have to pony up the cash for this then. Guessing the price will be about £210 since it comes with the game... >.<

Not another copy of the game! That'll be 6 If I manage to pick one up. Hopefully CEX offer a decent price for it.

Oh, good point! Looks like I'll be stalking eBay for one now. Was it for A Link Between Worlds?

Yes..... that is exactly the one you should be looking for on eBay. The Link Between Worlds 3DS XL. That is the one I'm referring to as well. Continue to search for that one and do not bid on any other types of Zelda 3DS' and all shall be well with you...

It is almost like you don't want me looking for something else...

West Coast folks got screwed on this deal.

Hey wake up at 6am Nintendo has yet another product to announce that will be sold out within 15 minutes!

*wakes up at 9* Great what did I miss. Yay more Zelda crap. Sold out online OF COURSE but available for web-in-store FOR THE MOMENT. Great. Stores don't open for another hour.

Third in line when GameStop opened at 10:00, it took 10 minutes to get to the counter and I asked specifically for a "web-in-store order" for the MM N3DS. Clerk is like, "yeah, it's sold out, sorry." So I said, "Yeah I know it's sold out online, I asked for a 'web-in-store order.'" But it was out of stock for web-in-store too. Which means by the time West Coast GameStops opened this morning, few if any copies were left for us.

The upshot of too much time on my hands and dogged persistence?

Called another GameStop 10:15: "Oh it was sold out for a little bit there. I just checked and it looks like they added some more. You better get here quick!"

I turned around and walked back in the store I was still standing in front of, told the clerk to please check again. It was re-available so he took my info and tried to place the order. Error, please try again, if this problem persists, please call tech support. He tried a couple more times, still got an error. Tech support was no help. They said because of the MM N3DS that everyone across the US was trying to order all at once, the web-in-store system was being overloaded, hence the error. Only thing to do is just keep trying.

10:45ish, out of stock again. There was a nationwide, system-wide processing overload error so how could anyone place any orders to make it out of stock again?

Got home, ready to spend rest of day F5ing Best Buy and Amazon when I noticed I had 3 order confirmation e-mails. Each time the clerk had tried to put in the order and gotten an error on his end, it had actually processed and sent me an order confirmation email. But I'd never paid for them.

I called GameStop.com CS expecting to be told they would have to cancel them. The CS rep told me 90% of his calls today have been about the MM N3DS, and if you call right now you're on hold for 30 minutes before receiving assistance because "we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes."

The CS rep told me he would indeed have to cancel my orders...but only two of them! If I could pay for one I could keep one.

Nintendo has me jumping through hoops for their shit like a trained monkey. I want to kick them in the balls. No one can say this is the right way to release a new product. They do everything completely wrong and leave it up to GameStop to pick up the pieces for them. "Well look at all the hype and buzz and tweets" Oh, you mean the ones saying 'fuck you Nintendo stop pulling this shit?'

Could you cancel only one and let me have one?

That's what you call commitment, I'm glad your persistance paid off in the end. Nintendo seen to like sending people on wild goose chase's!
