    How many other “you’re in lines” we got here? Shout out if you get through too

  2. BeemoAdvance

    Still in BB line. Target removed it from my cart after 200+ attempts to place order :/

    Edit: finally got my bundle in the BB line after a good 40-45 mins. Hang in there fam!!!

    Best Buy went smoothly, just late, at least for me. Walmart line just froze at 1 minute for me and a couple other friends.

  4. Just got mine from Best Buy. I sat in the “line” for about 10 minutes before it went through

  5. target was a bust and a half
    40 solid minutes with the thing “in my cart” and checking out repeatedly with payment failing only for it to be auto removed and out of stock

  6. s_paghettislut

    got in line at 12:30, still waiting at 12:45. i hope to get through soon because i have exams tomorrow and need sleep 😭

    I just got mine through Walmart. I got in line earlier but figured I wouldn’t get through, just happen to open up the Walmart website and the left hand corner told me I had 7min left to buy lol. I got super lucky that I checked again.

  8. DifferentDisaster260

    How’s everyone doing on BB lol I’ve been on line since 12:35

  9. Target is showing Sold Out for both Switch 2 options. I’m in line at Walmart and Best Buy, hoping I’ll be able to snag something.

    Bestbuy was a solid 10-15 wait but secured boys!!!!

  11. Got it from Best Buy and it says it won’t charge credit card u till it’s ready to get picked up ?

  12. viciousfridge

    Been in line since the line opened and still nothing, this is BS.

  13. Pakmanjosh

    Been stuck in line for Best Buy for the past 30 min now. Food and water running low, please send help…

  14. SubaruHaver

    Yeah, sitting in best buy line, almost twenty minutes now. Switch 2 + MKW physical.

    edit: **How long can we trust the line?**😆 edit: Got kicked out of line twice and never got one.

    Walmart was the ticket for me. Target had me in cart for over 20 minutes then vanished my cart after refusing to accept any payment methods.

  16. namesskxren

    Waited in line for 25 minutes just to be kicked out 😀

  17. Secret-Ingenuity-973

    Waited in line 56 minutes for Walmart and just placed my order and received confirmation email.

  18. SunniDee2

    Best Buy kicked me out of line after 32 minutes which is super cool 🫠

  19. Chimeraling

    I’ve been in line since 12:30 at best buy 😭 seeing people who queued later than me getting in before me is driving me crazy

  20. ajgonza2686

    Stay on it! I got mine thru Best Buy. After 20 minutes in the queue, just before they brought me to the checkout site I was forced to sign back in to my account. Just be on it and watch that browser window or app!

  21. how the hell are people getting through the line at best buy, ive had it open on the site and the app since it opened and nothing

  22. ShawnyMcKnight

    Honestly I think it is just cruel that over half an hour after they start taking preorders it still says “you’re in line” with no indicator of where you are at in line. There is a snowball’s chance in hell they will get one but still leave them waiting.

  23. RadiatedVegabond29

    Don’t give up hope!!! It’s real!! Best Buy came in clutch

  24. If it helps anyone: I got a preorder at Best Buy by opening different tabs and adding all the variants of Switch 2 (memory card bundles, etc.) into my cart and joining each line. Eventually one of the lines let me in, and I removed the memory card from the cart and got the bundle.

  25. LobsterNixon

    Been in line on Best Buy for what feels like an hour. Hate that they made this a fucking midnight prerelease on the east coast.

  26. TheMcGUnit

    Got the mk bundle from Best Buy. Waited in line for about 45 minutes but went through no problem after I got in.

  27. QuiGonColdGin

    What the hell? I’m in line at BB for almost 50 minutes, then the window just closed. I went back to the bundle page and clicked pre-order again, and now the you’re in line box is back up.

  28. BB just removed my line page after 50 mins waiting and j had to reenter the line

  29. evenmonkeys

    Best Buy just refreshed to my cart and the cart was empty. This is so frustrating.

  30. bradferd89

    Does anyone else feel like we are getting an email from Walmart tomorrow saying there was an error and the order is cancelled or delayed? It worked way too easy for me there.

  31. Substantial-Level-86

    Omg Best Buy just booted me after being in line for an hour

  32. SpikeRosered

    Failed to get it from every avenue. I was ready at midnight on like 5 different sites. Still failed. Sucks.

    Guess I’ll try Gamestop tomorrow.

  33. Notorious_GLG

    BB just kicked me out after 50mins in line smh

  34. Mark_Venture

    JUst got SOLD OUT message after waiting all this time.

  35. Was in line the moment it finally went live. Now it’s sold out. How the hell does this ‘line’ work ffs when people can jump on later and get it after five minutes

  36. cmackchase

    Now Best Buy is selling out of stuff now it seems, time for the feel bads for a lot of people.

  37. Glittering_Swing

    BB just kicked me for the 4th time. This time its saying sold out.

  38. got in line at 11:30 cst. got kicked out at 12:14
    gave up, went to bed. 

    checked again 5ish minutes ago (12:57) went through in less than 3 minutes and email confirmation just received

  39. ScootyPufffJr

    What in the hell kind of line system was this for Best Buy……I was on since 12:30 and the closest I got was verifying my account and then it booted me. What a time to be alive.

  40. Best buy just reopened per-orders and let me hop back in line. wish me luck
    Update: Said sold out immediately after posting this.

  41. Had it in a Target cart. Could not place order. Kept getting error message. Target eventually removed it from cart.

    Simultaneously, in line for Wal-Mart for over an hour. Finally my turn. In cart. Cannot buy, no longer available. I spam it until it no longer gives me the option and tells me it’s sold out.

    Best Buy can’t pre-order for 30 minutes, then inexplicably goes live, but puts me in another line. An hour goes by, I’m booted from the queue with an error message. I try again. Line. Wait. Booted. Line. Wait. Booted.

    I go back and try the regular Switch 2 instead of the Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle on all sites – still nada. After 2 hours of exhausting all options and being way past my bedtime, I wasn’t able to pre-order a Switch 2.

    Feels bad man.

  42. Kevroeques

    I got it. It was a nightmare. But I got it. Best Buy dropped the ball hard by opening at a random time.
