The Verge reported a few days ago that the NES Classic, this year's NEED TO GET present, would be available in VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES at Best Buy stores. It's the stores part that's important; they're simply not available online at BestBuy.com.

Best Buy decided that since this is such a hot item, they would be treating it like a Black Friday sale. First come, first serve AND a ticketing system to make sure people don't cut in line.

Regardless! If they were in the Hudson Valley, they're long gone. A quick check online and on the phone confirms there's none left. NADA. ZIP. ZERO!

I checked online and saw someone posting a few for over $200 a pop. If you were THAT desperate, please be prepared to drop some serious coin to make that vintage NES fan happy on Christmas morning.....or slightly there after.
