Alternative to EB as stated JB will be the only one who will match a lower price if it happens

Happy for MOD to Roll all into one as the purpose was to give an option after looking at traffic already so people had half a chance of picking it up before the scalpers

Why not just get this from EB? Won't need to pay the extra $6.95 for delivery. Unless Big W or Target get it for $99 and only if it's in stock. EB the better option.

  Given the likely hood of stock limitations i doubt you will see it below the RRP
- Toons on 27/06/2017 - 14:06
  
  gave the option for that very reason for some people the delivery cost is negligible (fuel, public transport, parking)
  
  I can get it delivered to work so i don't have to make a special trip or make sure i'm home for the delivery.
  
  After seeing the full line up at E3 with every unit as a mini and Nintendo knowing the extent of the crap from last year looks like they may be trying to make amends and keep the money in their pockets not the scalpers.
  - RocketSwitch on 27/06/2017 - 14:55
    
    Fair point, if you don't live near EB, then this is good.
    
    Scalpers will waste their time with this, Nintendo will make a lot of this one!
    
    I'm hoping they re-release the NES Mini.
    - Toons on 27/06/2017 - 15:06
      
      looks like last lot actually went a month or so ago and even then EB only got 2 per store
      
      But we are feeding them most comments were i'd prefer SNES so they gave what was requested
      
      there was also a genesis there too

    The Switch online service will include access to old Nintendo games and will cost ~$20 a year.
    
    If you really want these SNES games you can emulate them on basically anything nowadays. Switch games you can't emulate yet.
    
    I see the collectable appeal of the mini NES and SNES, but as practical games machines you're better off emulating the games and buying some cheap USB SNES controllers.
- Toons on 27/06/2017 - 14:11
  
  got all of them and in all honesty my 3 yr old who desperately wants to play any of them has the preference of the switch
  
  Especially Mario Kart 8 i've got to pry it away from him hogging it.
  
  there are some aids nintendo use for some games to help out so seems to pick up on things much quicker on the switch

It's not a great deal. It's just a stock alert in anticipation of a sellout.

It's cheaper through ebgames as in store pickup. JB do not offer store pickup. It's also cheaper delivery through ebgames as their delivery is cheaper. It's also currently in stock at ebgames.
- King Steuart on 27/06/2017 - 12:24

  Last comment, JB Ship through Toll and Toll sent the Mini NES in a bag (as opposed to a box like EB). If you are buying this to sit nice and minty on your shelf, don't be surprised if it comes with it's corners pressed in due to inadequate packing.

    Agreed.. I bought the best classic to play but have in mint condition.
    
    The JB Hifi purchase was a mistake since it came in a paper satchel so the nes box got squashed corners as a result.

  Well I do not like dealing with EB games. JB is a far better retailer for a number of reasons. As for postage, cost $6.95 for delivery. Saves me having to get in the car drive down to the local shopping centre (one of my most hated places on earth). Get parking, stand around while they look for my order then come home. For $7 the convenience of it just arriving at my door and saving me an hour is well worth it.
- Toons on 27/06/2017 - 14:29
  
  Appreciate it Cubist you hit the nail on the head
  
  looking at the numbers I'd be surprised if EB could fulfil a fraction of total volume to their site today.

This is not a deal, sorry. EB Games are actually cheaper including delivery (never thought I'd hear myself say that).

JB: $119 + $6.95 min delivery = $125.95
EB: $119.95 pickup or $124.95 delivered.

  Hold the phone! a whole $1! haha Of course we're bargain hunters. But personally I much prefer shopping at JB, been burned by EB a few to many times. And my local is separate from the shopping centre complex, while EB is deep in the inside the centre. And Saving on pick up isnt possible because shopping centres close before I get home from work. So I could either pay for delivery or wait for the weekend to pick up.
  - [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 12:45
    
    +7
    
    Delivery wise, I'd say JB is inferior.
    
    They used Toll who (in the case of Perth) will take to the domestic airport if you were not at home when the item was delivered. EB Ship through Australia Post who will drop the item off at your local post office if you are not available at the time the product is delivered.
    
    JB Also ship boxes (like the Mini-NES) in a bubblewrap sleeve, whereas EB will use a solid box, with air filled bags to stop the product being damaged. Really only matters if you are keeping it for collecting purposes though.
    
    Edit: Geez people, disagree with your words!
    Edit 2: Looks like JB have moved to Aus Post.
    When will I get my order? Unless specified above, your online pre-order will leave our Vic warehouse via Australia Post one business day prior to the official release date. Please allow standard delivery times on top of this.

      Yeah wow. Negs for preferring one retailer over another and delivery because I work late and cant pickup unless its a weekend…
      
      Another thing to consider is JB is really good for price matching. So I have alot of confidence if prices do fall JB will honor a lower price. EB in my experience hasnt been as reliable.

      @Cubist:
      
      Were all new items. The store cancelled my entire order in less than 3 minutes and there was no way they checked they had any in stock. No one would get back to me and I left to cancel and refund myself via their site. I was told they had the right to cancel any order. I ordered 24 items on sale.
    - [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 19:06
      
      @Joyoz: Think I know what the issue was with that one. When they moved to selling items online from stores, if you ordered 24 items, there was a chance you could be ordering 1 item from 24 individual stores. If one store didn't have 1 items, they would cancel the entire order. It was a pain in the arse and poorly communicated. I don't blame you for feeling burned. I think I ordered around $1200 worth of items and had $800 refunded back to me.
    - Joyoz on 27/06/2017 - 19:15
      
      @Cubist:
      I checked every item was available in the said store as I was travelling to that store to collect. Spent a great deal of time as they were for a family who could not buy many christmas presents so I checked the stock for each item. The items were still advertised available on their site weeks later as well for the same store.
    - [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 19:35
      
      @Joyoz: Must have been one item that caused the rest of the items to be cancelled. I've had this before where staff members fail to remove items I know are out of Stock, even after telling them face to face. One store I went to on a day off couldn't find an item and apologised. They didn't bother to remove it from their systems for over a week.

they will intentionally under stock them again to create a buzz for nintendo. more people talking about how impossible these are to buy the more people talk about nintendo. Then brand awareness for consoles like Nintendo switch will increase leading to more sales. These mini consoles are one genius marketing strategy to sell other consoles and we are all just one big mouth piece for nintendo. the more this is sold at full price on day one the more nintendo will intentionally under stock this making it harder for everyone else to buy. Not to mention the inevitable ebay sellers

- [Deactivated] on 27/06/2017 - 13:49
  
  Lol, reality is they doesn't have the level of resources other companies do, nor proper stock demand calculating, for each product. They are terrible at it, underestimating with one and overestimating with another.
  
  Things like Nes mini were initially a novelty product for a holiday season, which they made a few more for. They also financially lose money if they overstock on retail shelves, if they poorly overcalculate how many are wanted.
  
  They can only make X amount for each product as well, without straining their ability to make other devices. They have multiple lines of systems which they expect to sells millions of, let alone without having to deal with one of these. This product alone could cause some oversaturation given the circumstances, especially when they're pushing the Switch and a bunch of 3ds revisions. Eventually they'll probably do more Nes mini but the company spread themselves too thin as is.
