Yeah seriously! It will be interesting to see how much $$$ the one that's going to eBay will bring in with all the buzz around this.

Michiganfan, I bet you got the last one. You're very lucky to wake up when you did!

After my post, I went back and snagged a second one for a friend. So, you'll have to change that to 2, Nick.

Yeah I think michigan got the last one because I bought mine at 11:10 PST.... It was my last check before I hit the sack for the night

Maybe this site will start responding better now that they are gone, yikes it's been bad today!

Thats so funny because I always here you guys talk about having trouble with the site and I have never had a problem with it once... Guess im one of the few....

Really!? You are lucky, in general, it seems that about 1 out of 3 or 4 page loads will time out. Today has been more timing out than actually working!

I got one too I'm stoked! Was 4pm here in Australia, so a reasonable hour to be purchasing such an awesome product

Well, I went to bed at 1 am (EST, which is two hours later than I usually go to bed), the carts weren't up yet. I crashed. Jason called at 2 am (twice, but I didn't budge). I awoke at 4:18 am which is slightly earlier than normal, checked the site, *poof* GONE! That's amazing!

Ah well, would have been really cool to get one. Maybe next time if I'm lucky.

Damn.... I missed out too!

I sure slept good after I went back to bed!! Can't believe how lucky I was. I must have got one of the last ones if not the very last one. I guess we'll know when they are shipped and we all see what numbers we get. We should start a list of who has each number.

I think having a list of who owns them is a great idea. I am just hoping for the earliest 2 # I can get. I was the first person who bought any of them, and I was nervous the whole time till the paypal transaction was done.

I was about 2 mins from going to bed and they still weren't up. I sent bunnyboy a message asking him if it was going to happen today or not and he said wait a few mins before crashing. I was "really" hitting refresh then. It was crazy cause there was like 15-16 members on at 2am last night.

The site was crazy slow yesterday cause of all this buzz. I was trying to upload the all 197 images of the Miracle Piano manual and finally gave up for the day after getting 100 of them up. Going to be a great day today even though I barely had much sleep...

From the product page:

"The game will run slower on PAL systems but the time limit will be extended. "

I wonder if this is a fair balance that makes PAL scores comparable to NTSC?

Anyone else see a Nintendoage contest coming up soon. I think that every copy went to someone on this board, lol. We are all sick freaks.

*is crying and moaning at work due to lack of NWC goodness*

LOL, if everyone who got two of these divvy's them out, I could see that happening. Otherwise, it would just be 4-5 people!

I got one!! Funny how it happened, I refreshed all damn night, from 5:45 to 11:45 when I finally gave up. Like Michiganfan, I to sprung out of bed at 1:08 and refreshed. Bam! There it was. I don't know who got the last one, but as soon as I paid for my first I tried for a second(just like 2 min later max) and they were "temporarily unavailable". Thank you sore back and uncomfortable bed, God bless you.

Power went out in my house and street at like 1 30 in the morning and i was like great it's gonna go up now so i went to bed then the power came back on so i was like alright i guess i'll check and the funny part was it was about 1:50 All i know is if the Mega Barbara Striessand wasn't on South Park then I probably wouldn't have gotten back up again to finish watching it.

PAL systems run in 50 Mhz not the NTSC 60Mhz. The clock is based on cycles, thus a pal machine will take longer to reach the time limit

Damn, i missed out too But if it was listed last night its no wonder i missed out, i didnt check the site before now hehe :\ I hope Bunnyboy will make enough to fill the demand. I must get one of these

EDIT: Fixed typo.

I would assume that to be correct.  If you're playing this on a PAL system, you would have 7 minutes and 37.2 seconds to play, versus the normal 6 minutes and 21 seconds on an NTSC system.  Therefore, if we have a competition, we could multiply the scores from an NTSC system by 1.2 (or divide the scores from a PAL system by 1.2, either way), and theoretically have equivalent scores.

Dang guys! lol. I went to bed at like 12:00 and slept like a baby, cause mines already sitting in my Toaster lol. hehe. It really is a blast guys. i cant wait to get home from work to play it some more. I haveent had any problems with it either. Works perfect first try every try. And the timer works perfect as well. Great work brian! Told ya they would sell like hotcakes! lol!

I woke up right as ppl here were buying them, checked the site, "Temporarily Unavailable"...then I took a shower and checked again and it disappeared from the games page. Oh well If there is a second run as mentioned, then I sure hope that I can get my hands on one

Actually wouldn't they be equivalent anyways because the PAL system is running that much slower? i.e. in Super Mario Bros, it would take longer on a PAL machine to move the same distance as one playing on an NTSC machine.

Yeah, I don't think it would make a difference. You would have slightly better reaction time, which might give you a SLIGHT advantage, but you'll move 1.2 times slower, so it'll work out equally in the end.

...  You know...you may be correct.  Honestly, I can't say I've ever played a PAL system of any sort, not even the PAL NES I have downstairs.
