Question about buying NES Classic

So I'm a total newbie here and have questions around waiting in line for a product. Husband wants this for xmas and I need to deliver. I plan on waiting in line but what store and how early? GameStop? Best Buy? 5am too early or not early enough? Thanks!

i dont know.

nobody is taking preorders?

@KBFloYd: no already tried that.

@ric824: Toyrus might be best and easiest spot. I usually arrive an 30mins to an hour early. They usually hand out tickets around then and you can leave after they do.

@iandizion713: great suggestion! You think 8am is early enough?

@ric824: Yeah, that should be plenty. I think youll also have a shot during Black Friday maybe, but not sure on that.

Toysrus is awesome for pre-releases though. They usually get a good amount also. Target is good sometimes too. Bestbuy and Gamestop are usually the worst.

@iandizion713: yeah I tried looking for their prerelease but must have missed it. My best bet is waiting in line day of.

@ric824: Thats what i mean by pre-releases. Not the pre-order. The pre-orders are gone everywhere i think. You might want to get a controller for him too. I cant remember, but i think it only comes with one. Not sure if he needs two, but if he does would be good time to get one.

I think bout all the games are single player though.

@iandizion713: got it! Prerelease means waiting in line lol. Told you I was a newbie. And thanks for the suggestion of buying controllers. Appreciate your wisdom.

@ric824: Np, good luck and have fun.
