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.

Ebgames no longer advertising snes classic at all
I ordered mine the day it was announced. My annual leave came in handy after all.
Ordered mine from JB Hifi at 2pm 28/06
Yeah mine was roughly the same time as you and no problems. Got the Atari one as well
EB and JB both have stock still
This is no longer the case, just pre-ordered (y) (JB HiFi)
yeah I have guys at work smashing SLACK at the moment saying they've pre-ordered at both EB and JB
Both stores have stock again.
