Q: QuestionI hope all is well! Will Best Buy have another Preorder opportunity before the release date on Sept 29? If not, will you have any in stock on launch date? If so, what's the average amount of units will each store have?

Asked 8 years ago by JulianR.

• A:Answer There has been no information about other pre order opportunities. If they happen they will probably be announced when the stock is officially available for pre-order. till then, no news. as to launch day stock and the average number of units. bestbuy never really gives the stock out. Especially on-line or over the phone. So there will probably not be a good answer to that until your in the store on launch date, and by then the answer will probably be, "not enough", or "None, Apparently"

Q: QuestionHi. I signed up for notifications. Why didn't I get any last night about the SNES Classic being available? In addition, will there be other opportunities to preorder from Best Buy?

Asked 8 years ago by PersonWhoWantsSNES.

• A:Answer Don't waste your valuable time with this. Just like the Classic Mini NES these were already gone before you and I could blink our eyes. The individuals have prior knowledge of when the pre-order sites are going to open and they are using a system or program that pre-loads their purchase information and while you and I are waiting for that submit button to appear they have already completed the purchase and in most cases are buying in quantities so that they can sell at ridiculous prices on Amazon or Ebay.

Q: QuestionThe site states that the item is up for preorder but when I add it to my cart it tells me to remove it because it is not in stock. It's a preorder of course it is not in stock. Is this a glitch with the site?

Q: QuestionWill someone from bestbuy answer the question about the presale ?

Asked 8 years ago by Jacinto.

• A:Answer I would guess "no" is the answer to that question...I have never seen a Best Buy person notify, answer, or otherwise inform customers of when a highly sought item is going live for pre-order. If they tell you, their computer system will probably crash when the time arrives. Since they have changed the Snes page recenty though, I'm guessing it could be any time soon.
