On Monday Australian time, EB Games opened orders for the NES Classic console. Sadly, the website crashed so the retailer is reopening orders.
EB Games Australia announced on Facebook: “In preparation for the Mini NES December shipment, we massively increased our server space to account for 30,000 people, which is twice as much as our previous site traffic record.
Today, that amount was exceeded due to unprecedented demand for this console. We are doubling our server space to accommodate anywhere up to 60,000 simultaneous customers on the website. This item will be available at 12PM Sydney time tomorrow (November 15th Australian time) at the following link. Stock for this item will be extremely limited.”
Hopefully the Australian customers that are trying again on Tuesday have more luck. Nintendo underestimated demand for the NES Classic console worldwide and many people have to wait for more shipments to arrive.
