For those who do not know, Amazon has physical stores, according to Forbes. There are only three Amazon locations where you can go to get an NES Classic Edition. According to the ad, the locations are in University Village, Washington Square, and Westfield UTC.
The NES Classic Edition is without a doubt is one of the most sought items this holiday season because not only is it an excellent retro product but it is also very hard to find. It was originally rolled out on Nov. 11 and was reportedly sold out within minutes.
The demand online was as great as well that even Amazon's servers crashed. Not long afterward, people who were not lucky to grab one began ranting on social media, and a secondary market for the NES Classic Edition boomed on eBay with one unit reportedly sold for a high of $4,999, as reported earlier.
If getting an NES Classic Edition fails for you, another option would be to line up at Best Buy stores beginning on December 20th. Be early if you are intent on getting one.
