Amazon did not participate in the pre-order FYI. I guess Amazon and Nintendo are fighting or something.

Hmmm then maybe it was just Amazon in the US. Saw several articles like this one: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/1...lable-pre-order

Remember the time when a Playstation 2 sold for about $10000 on EBay, and someone bought it only to find it was an empty box. The person who bought it went to sue the seller of the console only to find out in court he couldn't get shit because EBay wasn't responsible what's sold inside the box, and the judge threw out the case. Yep, I can see this happened all over again...

This is the Wii all over again. Wasn't Nintendo nearly taken to court for fabricating false shortages last time?
