When the SNES Classic went up for pre-order, it immediately sold out. There's no surprise there; we've all seen the headlines. I was barely able to scrap one by being at the right place at the right time. I hit that pre-order button on Walmart's website during that magical one-second window that it was actually available, but many of you were left scrambling for alternative options. One of those options, for those of you desperate enough, was to seek out a bundled console through GameStop or its subsidiary ThinkGeek.

These bundles included an SNES Classic, along with tons of extra items, for really high prices. Some of you were paying in excess of $300 to grab your SNES Classic, and it was coming with lamps, mugs, posters, plushies... Basically loot crate type stuff that none of you really wanted. It was a fiasco, and message boards and forums were swamped with people spitting bitter over the fact that they had to shell out hundreds for extra swag, when all they really wanted was the SNES.

The two bundles you see pictured above were priced at $250 and $200. GameStop is defending its bundles, though, calling them "convenient."
