1 more week to go!!

it seems this "console" is actually more powerful than Wii or 3DS!

SoC: Allwinner R16 (4x Cortex A7, Mali400MP2 GPU)
RAM: Hynix (256MB DDR3)
Flash: Spansion 512MB NAND
PMU: AXP223

just the matter of time before anyone come out with a mod kit to play other games on it

Anybody received text message from Magnetic Business Deals Sdn Bhd asking for additional cash due to currency fluctuation for NES Classic Edition?

where you pre-order from?
I ordered mine from 11street's Game Hypermart, didn't get any request for extra cash

if you ordered from those online shopping sites like Lazada, or 11street, the seller aren't suppose to increase price after they put it up
if they asked you directly for extra cash, it's a direct violation of the T&C of sites, which will incur heavy penalty to them by those sites
likewise if they cancel your order from their side, also will get penalty, most they'll just contact you to pay more or ask you to cancel your order from your side, which is what they are doing now.

IMO, you shouldn't pay the extra amount, currency fluctuation is plain BS, few months ago the USD exchange rate is already pretty high. Tell them they should honor the published price, do that or you'll report this to the online shopping site they used.

I have e-mailed to lazada, let them deal direct with the seller. I am not going to deal direct with the seller. I think it is a hot item now and the seller is trying to get me to cancel my order so that can sell at a higher price. The seller is asking additional RM70. Thanks.

I see gemfive and 11th Street all selling above RM300.

it's one of the most sought after gaming product for next few months, gonna sell like hotcakes with limited stocks, of cos they gonna increase the price to make a killing

Got a reply from lazada assured me no need to pay additional cash and given me RM20 voucher code for my next purchase with them. Good service by lazada.

good to hear that, mind sharing which seller you bought from Lazada?
need to avoid them in the future

The seller just put up NES Classic Edition for sale again on Lazada @ the increased price. They are the only reseller for this console. Guess someone has cancelled their orders.

Anyone pre-ordered the nyko miniboss? Apart from the official website of nyko, where can we order?

Gamer's Hideout is asking for additional RM100 for the console and additional RM20 for the controller so the total package is RM349 + RM69 = 418

pre-order means the shops should honor the price set during pre-order
not asking for more later on no matter what's their reason

those shops should be blacklisted forever

insist them that they should honor the pre-order price
else what's the point of pre-order??

Same experience during the launch of New Nintendo 3DS XL with GH.. think paid RM850 during pre-order. Week before collection, GH asked for RM999 (or close to that figure) due to reasons (cannot remember if it was due to currency fluctuation or orders > available stock). Paid for it because it was a promised gift.

Cost Price for NES: RM 300
Cost price for Famicom Mini: RM 350 something something.

Owh man everyone is having a field day.

Agreed, but will online shops do it?

I doubt most of the local retailers will do it, typically they'll force the buyer to pay for their own mistake of putting a lower price for pre-order
Typical "If you think it's expensive & don't want it, there are a lot more others that will pay for it"

Unless it's from official stores like Nintendo Retail Store, which unfortunate we have nil in MY, the only official store that selling official consoles are Sony Centers
These are the stores that definitely will honor the pre-order price, unless there are T&C fine print stating the price are subject to change during pre-order.

Shops like GH should own up to their mistake of putting a lower price if there's no written T&C on the final price are subject to change.

my famicom mini has been ship out ~~ kekeke

Hopefully there will be no problem with my order even with Lazada's assurance.

Which online store you ordered from?
