Were you unable to score a SNES Classic Edition yesterday? You're not the only one. The majority of gamers looking to score a system were faced with waves of rolling website failures, bots, and scalpers rushing to scoop up every last console. GameStop took in-store pre-orders, which was the saving grace for many of you, but for those of you who spent the day at school or work, it was just another disappointment. But fear not, GameStop is going to have one more opportunity for you to snag a console:

"If you weren't able to snag an SNES Classic today -- don't sweat it. We'll have more available on launch day, in store, for walk-ins." That's right, folks: we're going old-school. This is going to be your classic camp-out situation with huge lines, sleeping bags, numbered tickets, and ultimately, disappointment.

If you're truly determined, you'll need to scout out the least-popular GameStop around you, the one you think won't be swarmed with hungry Nintendo nerds, and make a point to get there as early as possible. Go there today. Make friends with the manager. It can't hurt, right? These are desperate times.
