Board 8 > $20 off + two 15% off coupons stacking at target

Same boat on no confirm nor cancel

But I don't really care too much since I missed out on the Switch potential

Still $80 bluetooth speaker for $25 would be cool so still hoping

honestly, while you missed on Switch potential if you don't mind waiting it may not be a bad idea anyway. you know there's a revision down the pipeline sooner than later for storage, heat, and probably with some changes to the chip so it's not as easily hacked. it's the same reason i ended up going with something like the chair really - a $20 off $50 coupon means i'm gonna look at lower numbers.
---

Yeah. I don't really care about getting the Switch too much right now anyway but that discount was awesome enough that I tried for it.

I'm mostly jealous of Jon the Penguin who got a PS4 Pro with this stuff. Wasn't viable for me because going to pick up on a crap shoot isn't something I felt like doing when the nearest Target is like 60 miles out and you couldn't ship it, but that's the one I would've kicked myself if it was able to be shipped.

Still haven't got an email either way. Weird!
---

I wonder how much of an impact something like this actually has to target's margins for the day
---

So in a weird way corrik was right

The only confirmation I have is not on my main account but one I made just last night

All hail corrik

I was just thinking about this today. Should be able to pull their 10-Q for this quarter when it's released and see if it's noted at all.

This won't dent them too much. Maybe a setback of 2-3 days.

My order has sent out and will arrive on Wednesday assuming no problems

I think the people who got in later on the big ticket items ended up being more likely to be cancelled
---

Something like this will barely be felt even in a weekly time frame. For all the talk Amazon gets of being the world's next largest company, Walmart is still far bigger in terms of revenue. The guys who are online-savvy/active enough to hear about and take advantage of these glitches are very, very fringe.
---

Yeah my Switch is arriving tomorrow. I just have no games for it now haha. I'm happy it went through!
---

Yeah I'm also in the no games club. At least I'm ready for when Smash comes out.

hi

both of you should buy xenoblade 2 and mario and mario rabbids and maybe that zelda game

not that I'm having any luck here but fuck, I should've gone for Mario Rabbids

but yea, now officially 24 hours since I put in my order and had no updates
---

24 hours later I'm still fine

Did I miss all of this?

:(

yes

It's too bad I slept through this. It sounds like a lot of orders are actually being shipped. It always surprises me how often companies honor these online glitches.
---

Well finally got the message that my speaker shipped so cool.

No news wasn't actually bad news it turns out
---

Dammit, wish I paid more attention to this
---

Well now here I am, buying octopath at full price like a chump.

suck on that PRIME DAY
---

Speaking of, my Octopath came in this morning! I can't play it right now thanks to work but yay
---

i shouldn't say anything, the status of my octopath is actually still up in the air
---

Apparently there are worldwide shortages for Octopath because it did better than they thought it would somehow

that's nuts. good for them.

at the very least, target shipped out SOMETHING to my store for pickup, so my copy is on a truck somewhere
---

My first order finally got cancelled )=

But the second one still seems to be okay so I'm not gonna complain at all

To break it down, I ordered 2 controllers (which I dont plan on keeping), shenmue, smash, megaman 11, megaman x collection, and the CE of valkyria chronicles for about 140

I saved way more on this order than the other one, so yea, as someone mentioned earlier this might be a stock thing more than anything else

Man, it feels like the only way I can catch these Wario64 deals is if Twitter sends me his tweets via text message, but he tweets so often that I'd just be spammed by Wario64 texts..
---

I just always have a tab open that's Wario64

you just gotta live with the crap and eventually you get gold like this.

typically I'll only have notifications on for events like black friday, Christmas, steam sale, prime day for price errors. sometimes random things like this pop up, which is great
---

I would have rather missed it completely than the limbo "you have it--WHOOPS it's gone" I put myself through.

<_< If the Switches weren't sold out, I would have had it bam and been done, but I wanted to scrounge for value to make up for it and fucked myself.
---

but yea, thanks weaku for the heads up, this wouldn't be happening if you didn't make this topic!

Enjoy your case!
---

Yeah thanks Weaku. Your reporting on these Target blunders is much appreciated. I think I got more out of this than I'll get out of all Prime Day and I didn't even get much.
---

Not to burst your bubble but i feel like pre orders have a greater chance of getting cancelled once it's closer to release of the games, when Target did the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 CE mess up I was GOOD for the few months leading up to it. Then like a week before it came out they were like "OOPS SORRY YOU'RE CANCELLED"

But some others in this topic got away with it then still so maybe you'll slip through the cracks like that too
---

Well yours got cancelled but weaku and SHINE got theirs so I like those odds

and like I said, they already shipped the controllers, the order has gone through
---

Yea that's why I literally said others in this topic got away with it

Bane brings up bursting bubble points despite there being more success stories than failures (AGAIN)

punny points out the success stories so its more likely

bane:"I KNOW"

if bane knew, why is he even pointlessly trying to burst bubbles then? If Punny already knows theres risks and his order still partially went through and the outlook is positive?

because luster

Noticing the irony, my first order was canceled because I got greedy, got more than I needed and even a few more in an attempt to get my money back

but yet its greed that made me go out of my way and make a second account and order even more, which actually (at least partially) went through

so kids, the lesson is, if you're gonna be greedy, go all the fucking way, baby. There will be too much for all of it to fail
---

Part Luster part projecting negativity because he didn't get his
---

I think it would be weird if they just partially okay my order and then they cancel the rest. I know a few people didn't get their games with their switches, but after a certain point, it didn't seem like most of the game orders went through. The possible aforementioned lack of stock thing

I won't have to wait long to find out though, MMX collection is soon so we'll know then. If I get that, I think I'm in the clear.

its just looking pretty okay with everything in mind

??? I got my Octopath man I'm all set

And I didnt know you said your controllers ACTUALLY shipped out when I said my first post. All you said was controllers were part of your order. So I guess you said it earlier which I must have missed. And then the second part, you basically repeated what I already said so that's why I said I literally said it already.

This is a dumb convo anyway that I didnt need to keep up but I'm bored at work. Good looks though with the controllers shipping out, that is indeed a good sign.
---

you guys

start chugging
---

Yeah I do think it was probably a stock thing they used to reject orders-- though I feel like they may have been slightly liberal with calling things "out of stock." But I mean they took so long doing mine and it went through because I'm probably like the only guy on earth who abused that sale for the particular speaker I got.

I feel like mine took so long to get canceled because they were actually trying to put it all together, especially with 6 different games.

I think the stock thing was an actual concern, but yea, them just citing that could also just be a made up excuse too.

Order has been received by local post office and is ready to ship tomorrow
