the same tool that can be used on the NES Classic has been able to backup the SNES Classic, there is even a "note" in the /etc folder for anybody who looks.

Just called gamestop and target.

Gamestop: opens at 10am and they're only getting 10 units at my local one.

Target: opens at 7 and they're handing out tickets. They didn't know how many they're getting but an article i read said 50-300 per store.

My Walmart has a line @ 6pm. They ended up handing out tickets because the line was getting nasty. None to be found over here.

Just trying to help out fellow village members.  Went to 4 stores during my lunch break only for each of them to be sold out.  Hopefully Amazon is keeping track of their inventory.

Target put a limit of 1 per customer.  There was a pretty decent sized line.

Walmarts in the causeway area should be stocking in the next 2 days -- the distro didnt sent them to any of the 3 in the area.. so start calling walmart if you are looking for them..

GS on causeway had 20ish for preorder and received about 20-25 more over that limit. Toys R Us in brandon had 52 tickets that they gave out.. most people didnt arrive until about 6am and only about 18 people were turned away

only super target near brandon mall received units -- about 40 in total, and best buy in brandon was unknown how many they had.
