As we predicted, if you wanted a SNES Classic Mini we hope you’ve already gotten your pre-order in as both EB Games and JB Hi-Fi are showing out of stock on their first allocation. We’re fairly confident that EB Games will also no longer be taking in-store pre-orders but JB Hi-Fi’s preorder system is a little less structured so it might be worth giving your local store a call.
It’s very unclear whether there will be another allocation online pre-launch, but one thing is for sure, the easiest time to get a SNES Classic Mini has now passed.
Sydney retailer The Gamesmen is still showing stock so if you’re interested, this might be the last time that you can freely pre-order online. It’s expected that Target and Big W will get some stock at launch, but that’s going to be an incredibly tough process once September rolls around.
