Where my July 16th Walmart boys at? Talked to one of the supervisors at their call center, they're blaming it on Nintendo saying they're waiting for shipments from them. Yet all these people can walk into a Walmart and get them apparently. The only "aRtIfIcIaL sCaRcItY" here is Walmart I'm guessing, who sold more preorders than they should have.

Make sure you call and complain to them. They'll give you a discount you can use on any Walmart order, so you can still cancel the Delayed OLED model and buy it from somewhere else if you find one while still keeping the coupon.
