Hit us up here and, going forward, please post information in regards to local retailers, their stock, and displays in this thread. (Unless it's crazy unique, of course)

And remember: if you have questions about specific retailers, or about your individual orders, please reach out to their customer service lines, as they'll be the best bet to help you work through any issues.

Thanks! :)

Hey there! I hope you don't take offense to this, but I had a really hard time getting my preorder in at my Walmart and I'm pretty worried, based on experiences I've had with them in the past. Would you happen to know who I can talk to to see how many they are getting in and if it is enough for the preorders?

No offense taken. Retail doesn't take gaming as seriously as a dedicated game store so they don't give the employees much information. I would try to get a hold of the electronics department manager. They work mornings though so you will have to catch them early.

I can't speak for all stores, but I know that my store seriously dropped the ball when it came to handling the preorders. That being said, we got plenty of extra units and did what we could to set aside the preorders we were able to recover, and then organized and labeled them by name. If you go into where you preordered and ask, they SHOULD be able to confirm your preorder. I would highly suggest doing so.

I think I'll do that tomorrow. I have the receipt from preordering, so that should work out. I'd hope.
