Email notifications should have been sent before the preorders opened.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Pre orders sold out before the emails could be sent. Spending x amount of money doesn't make you any higher priority than any one else. There are free tracker apps that you can get that will alert you when the item is in stock. That's how I got mine. Don't be mad at Best Buy because other people prepared better than you
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I still haven't received a notification either. I signed up a month ago. Bots only I guess.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I agree! I think most of us signed up for the e-mail “notification” of when the the console was available thinking it would be a pre-sale alert e-mail. I am feeling like the rest, very unhappy and frustrated with no notification of the sneaky 1am on-line sale. I definitely know this is going to influence my shopping experience with them going forward. They aren’t the only game in town.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Think about it. Even if the email notifications were sent out, there would have been thousands of others getting the same email and on the website at the same time. You would have the same luck getting one as you had without receiving the notification because bots would have still ordered it before you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Keep in mind, you're looking to buy a console that re-creates what were state-of-the-art video games nearly 30 years ago, with no ability to add games beyond what it's pre-loaded with. It's not worth the headache of trying to get one, or the price some are charging on Amazon or eBay. We sprang for the NES Classic, and though it does exactly what we expected it to do, it was not worth the hassle. We haven't touched it since last Christmas.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I never received my notification either but I did sign up on a 3rd party site to text alert me when they go on sale at any location. By the 4th text alert, I was able to purchase one before they sold out within minutes. That alert was at 2am. So sorry, but good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I agree, the amount you spend doesn't make you more important than others. 3-5k a year isn't that much as well, maybe the people that were better prepared than you spent 5-10k in the store. Stop complaining and realize it is only a game console, which is really cool none the less. With sales so strong I am confident they will make more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You snooze, you lose. The button flickered "pre-order" every few refreshes so it seems that it wasn't all going up immediately. It kept selling out so it couldn't send a preorder since it was never available to begin with.
