Moukaryuu 08/22/17 4:32:44 PM #1:	I don't normally get upset about stuff, but this really pisses me off. I grew up playing the SNES and I still believe it was the greatest console ever made. I get on the internetz about 15 minutes ago to find out that pre-orders went up at 4 in the #$%&$%& AM today and of course they immediately sold out. C'MON, NINTENDO!! WHY DO YOU HATE US!? Because I'm curious, I looked at ebay....$300-$475 is the going rate thanks to all the $%^#ing scalpers buying up the stock. There is no way I will ever pay that much for something that Nintendo went out of their way to guarantee would be sold out immediately. For a company with such great business acumen, it astounds me that they would screw their customer base like this. We will PAY $$ FOR THIS THING! MAKE MORE THIS TIME! But no, it's just wall to wall disappointment yet again. I realize I'm not entitled to getting one, and it won't be the end of the world if I don't, but honestly, Nintendo, is it really that hard to just do your fans correct and have enough stock to satisfy the goddamned demand for once? --- Now playing - Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4), Elite Dangerous (PS4), Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age (PS4) <cite>Moukaryuu posted [p:885253879] in I can't be...
