Update: Almost two hours after its sale began, Target Australia’s website still appears down for the count.
While many eager purchasers were able to get an NES Classic Mini into their shopping carts at 8am AEDT this morning, it’s not clear if anyone was able to actually check out.
Many reported issues even getting a console into a cart, as evidenced by our own tweet:

As of 9.45 am AEDT, the website is active, but directing consumers to a looping countdown.
That said, it is possible to walk away with a console:
i managed to get one just after 9am and got paypal and target confirmation emails so it was possible! Frustrating process tho
