In person is the solution in this case, I think. I got on GameStop's text list and it went off while I was in the car. My SO and I immediately stopped at the first GameStop we could find and pre-ordered 2. Other people came in and they were all (as far as I could tell) Nintendo fans and not scalpers. We plan to keep 1 and use the other one as a contest prize that we'll run on Facebook once we're able to pick them up in a few weeks. We've already pre-paid and have our receipts (or "golden tickets" as the GameStop cashier called them!) The receipts have our names on them so we are the only ones allowed to pick them up. I hope stores do more of that in the future.
