After spending the entire weekend hyping up #EBMiniNESDay and more stock being available this morning, as expected the EB Games website died in the most spectacular fashion. Currently there’s a splash screen covering the entire site with the warning your can see in the image below.
Some people did manage to get their hands on the console, but for the vast majority it was a mess and they missed out.

However you can’t keep a good EB Games down and they’re trying again tomorrow, Tuesday 12PM AEDT. Their server capacity will be doubled, hopefully that’s enough.
This is crazy, the demand for these units must be extremely high. If its causing a server crash on most large retailers trying to sell online
Good luck to all still trying to get one.
When they have these in abundance sometime next year, we’ll look back and shake our heads, why Nintendo why?
