Nintendo sold it as a collector item/expecting only "hardcore" fans to buy it.

They acted surprised when everyone wanted the perfect stocking stuffer.

They decided to kill it off.

I expected at least a year of retail life.

I'm surprised it was desired this badly. I didn't think anyone would want the NES Classic. Then shortly after it came out, everyone was talking about wanting it, and how it was going for hundreds on eBay. I was thinking, "Kinda wish I bought one of those now" if only to see it on eBay. Now that it's discontinued, and people are losing their minds more, I wish even more that I had bought an NES Classic. I bet that thing could've easily paid for one month's worth of rent.

I got one about 1-2 weeks ago. I just happened to be reading an article at like noon that said bestbuy.com would have them in stock at noon. So I kept refreshing the page on my phone until I finally was able to add one to my cart and make the payment work.

It's pretty cool, I like it. I won't play it all the time or anything but it's nice to have.

Target. There are two targets near me. Late thurs I saw online supposedly they got 4 in, so I raced over before they closed and was told by one of the clerks that they'd most likely have it in the morning once they went through all their boxes overnight. When I got home I checked again and saw the other target said it had 7 in. They were closed for the night so I assumed it was the same situation the guy in the store told me.

So I went to the one that had more the next morning, got there at 725am for an 8am opening and there were six people ahead of me. Got the last one, they literally sold out the minute they opened ^_^
