OK, found out we can actually go up to 6XL for the shirts. Prices for these extended sizes are as follows: 4XL - $14 5XL & 6XL - $15 If you'd like to change your order, just PayPal the difference to the same address and leave a note in the comments letting me know which of your original size(s) you want changed.

Got the order. PayPal automatically sent the address from your account (Blossom Lane) so if that isn't the correct one, send another e-mail to the same address and let me know. Otherwise you are good.

Still waiting to hear back. Thanks for reminding me. I'll contact the printer again right now.

Also, to make sure we have time to get these ordered and shipped back to you in plenty of time for Black Friday: The deadline to place your order is Sunday, September 30th at 11pm ET.

Preorders have been going very well. More orders than I expected. Maybe I won't need to do any contests this year since it seems like everyone has already ordered one or more

If your shipping address is the same one in your paypal account, then you are fine. Otherwise yeah, send another e-mail.

There was a counter of how many people were watching, but no list so we don't know who exactly is in the room. But that's why we did the test this early. Now we can try to fix the issues before we start for real.

Test webcast is about to start: https://new.livestream.com/gottadeal signup for a Livestream account so you can chat and get notified when we go "live"

We've put together a quick survey about Black Friday that we'll use when making our predictions this year, as well as for questions we get during media interviews. If you complete the survey, you'll be entered to win one of several Black Friday t-shirts. And even if you don't want a t-shirt, please consider completing the survey anyway to help us out! Thanks Update: Survey is now closed and winners have been notified via e-mail. Thanks for your help!

Article about it: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/14/wii-u-not-available-at-amazon/ Strange considering the other Amazon sites (UK, etc...) are all taking preorders. Maybe Amazon isn't getting the price from Nintendo they want to make enough $ on them. I preordered from BB yesterday just to have an order placed in case I decide to get one.

GameStop has them up: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/74302 But they have tax and shipping. If anyone is worried about not getting one, you can always order from GS and then cancel if you get to order one from Amazon or somewhere else "better".

I've seen them up already this morning on some of Amazon's European country sites, so Amazon.com is probably coming very soon.

Preorder 2, hope you can make a little profit on the other one by selling it on eBay, use that as a "discount" on yours

Anyone know of a working free shipping code?

Ah, a Black Friday tradition....

Still early. Most of the "BF regulars" haven't come back yet

I'm waiting to hear back from the printer about sizes above 3X. I'll let you know. Also, I know some of you won shirts at the end of last BF season. I'll contact you all in the coming months as well.

Some examples of the free swag you might find in your box: http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/gdprizepack.jpg http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/backpack.jpg http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/bfshirt.gif (I found a storage container of old 2010 BF t-shirts (mostly size XL I think) that weren't given away for some unknown reason) http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/shirt.gif

Don't go by the picture - those are mockups only. They are the same shirts we've done the past few years, so maybe others who've worn them can chime in on fitting. They'll most likely be Hanes 6.1oz tagless t-shirts.

Yep, I got it.

Update 10/1: We are no longer taking preorders for shirts. But don't worry as we'll be giving many more shirts away during the next 2 months here on the site. Shirts will be shipped in early November in plenty of time for Black Friday.

I posted this yesterday: "I'll post details on how you can order in the next day or two, so check back soon."
