According to some recently surfaced reports, gaming fanatics living in Western Washington are getting a last chance to buy a Nintendo NES Classic - one of the most in-demand items this holiday season - with just days to go before Christmas arrives.
Console getting sole anywhere
As of the moment, the $60 miniature retro gaming console is being sold out virtually everywhere, except on eBay where it's selling for almost three times its original price.
NES sold out really fast
A lot of dedicated gaming fans that are on the hunt are fully aware that the NES hits shelves in bursts at a variety of brick-and-mortar, and online stores from Toys-R-Us to Urban Outfitters, but the downside is that the item sells out in a matter of seconds.
GameStop getting new stocks
Gaming publication Polygon written that GameStop is expecting a small number of units to be in their physical stores this coming week nationwide.
"GameStop has again received yet another limited shipment of the Nintendo NES Classics," the notice acquired by Polygon said. "Only available in stores, not online. GameStop has already recommended that customers would call to their local stores to be able to determine local quantities."
Last-Chance sales
Amazon Prime is now also offering some last-chance sales of the classic console, again, but the offer is excluding Seattle. As of the moment, chances are getting slim on finding a console before Christmas.
You can always go with the original
If you are direly looking to get your hands on the said retro console before Christmas, you could always try the real thing. As a recommendation, Shoppers can look for a legit retro NES Classic console at Game Gurus in North Seattle, where shelves are being filled with everything from the real NES to Sega handsets.
More NES Minis will come
Earlier, Nintendo said it will continue to produce new NES Mini units and hopes to make a steady flow of consoles available through early 2017. Deal-hunting forums on BfAds.net and FatWallet.com also allow shoppers to keep themselves updates for new shipments coming.
