As if it wasn’t hard enough for gamers to get their hands on the NES Classic Edition, Nintendo probably did no one any favors when they announced that they’d be discontinuing the console. This has resulted in a massive spike in prices on eBay, driving the price beyond what many would consider to be reasonable.

Now if you’d rather not fork out hundreds of dollars for a console that only costs $60, you might want to try your luck at Best Buy. This is because the retailer has announced that they will be restocking the console today. However we should point out that the consoles will only be available in stores and not online, so you’ll have to make a trip down to your local Best Buy if you want to get your hands on it.

As the retailer notes, these will be in limited quantities so maybe you’ll want to hurry lest they are sold out. While the retailer did not mention it explicitly, it has been suggested that these could be the last batch of NES Classic Editions that we can expect from Nintendo, so like we said this could be your last chance.

That being said, not all is lost because a recent rumor has suggested that Nintendo could actually be returning with an SNES Classic Edition (or SNES Mini), so we guess you could always look forward to that if anything.
