Check your target stock for the SNES Classic.
My stores aren't updated yet. I plan to peruse Toys R Us, Best Buy, and/or Target at lunchtime on Friday. I think I should be able to get one.
Same, but there are people on twitter showing 300 units for their stores.

I don't think they all update at the same time. I would venture to guess they will have a plenty on Friday. Maybe not so much a week later.

I just know that I have a target less than 10 blocks from where I work and that I'm going to be there Friday morning.

I can't wait. I hope I have Horizon wrapped up by then.
I can't wait for Horizon's DLC and to jump back into the world too. How far along are you? Isn't the world building and lore awesome?
I'm level 32, I think.
Nice, have you fought any the worm robots? They are pretty wild.
Yup. I haven't cleared the corruption zone that has 2.
That was probably the hardest fight of the game for me. I went about it the wrong way though.
I dominated those little worms today. No trouble.

Very solid. I sold my copy long ago, but still have the save. A fun world in which to explore and experiment.

:thumbsup: This plus Amnesia, what a great month for freebies. PS Plus has really stepped up the quality of their offerings these last few months.

Heck yeah. Looks like they're taking a page from Battlefield with the class system and game rewards (vehicles and elite classes/heroes when your team is doing well). The single player campaign looks great too. I just can't believe they're still trying to get people to play Heroes vs Villains, who actually likes that mode?

Maybe they improved it? It has potential I suppose. I'm pretty jazzed for the space battles.

It's funny, I really disliked the space battles in Battlefront, yet I love dogfighting in BF1. They are so wildly different. I hope Dice made some changes to the aerial combat in the new Battlefront, but maybe it's just me?

I'm excited based on what I've seen and the potential more than anything. I hope they can make it as fun as the shooting.

I never really enjoyed the space battles either. maybe a lot of that is on me, but i found most of the time i was just trying to muddle through it until the shooting levels started. most of the matches i played were dominated by 1 or 2 really good players and a bunch of mediocre ones like me.

The maps were too small and objectives too unclear in the Battlefront One.

Yeah, the tiny maps really did put a damper on things once you were in the air.

Local Wal-Marts are showing as in stock but with ~20 units each. There's a handful with more than 30 but the same handful have less than 20.

One of them is on my way to work and opens when I'm driving anyway so I'll just leave a little earlier tomorrow and swing by. Woo.

What time will a 24 hour Wal Mart start selling these? Anyone know?

Nothing specific, but maybe they'll go by Black Friday rules?

I tried searching that thread but Twitter is borked for me right now. I can't do anything except "like" things right now. I can't tweet, retweet, scroll, read a conversation beyond the initial load, and if I close a conversation the whole thing hangs. Ugh.
