Got the 2/Mario Kart bundle on Target. The website kept crashing, but was able to get through it after 15 minutes or so. Got the confirmation email as well. Some folks got cancellation emails after they ordered it, but so far, I didn't get that.

If you missed your chance at midnight, Gamestop pre orders will begin online, and in person at 11am Eastern today, if you're going for that, good luck to you.
 
Nope, I’ve been checking pre-orders here in kuwait and no dice. Not a lot of reliable stores. Closest there is Geekay but it’s a dice roll if that place has pre orders or not.

Did you email, or call them to ask if they were going to take pre orders or not?

They don’t have that kind of service (as far as I’m aware), I can go down and ask local stores, but also pre-orders in general take sometime to become available over here. I’ll keep checking.
 
I think it is better and safer to wait until the devices come to the stores but well, everyone has to know what he is doing .
 
Talk about a 180. It was only last week that everyone was hating on Nintendo for the price hike. ::eggmanlaugh
None the less, I wish everyone luck in getting one.
No matter how much costumers hate something at the end of the day they are the first ones buy ( watch, read ...) the product

Fomo is a disease, I personally waited two years before getting a ps5 slim digital, as an upgrade to the giant fan oven that was my ps4. It was cheaper and plays all my ps4 games whilst also just being a better machine, stays cool, costs less to run and loads way faster. Also the controller and vibration FF7 rebirth and Stellar blade pushed me to get one on top of my existing library and a few other games.

I genuinely would prefer to wait till a good 15-20 exclusives are calling to me and the console had a mid gen refresh before I buy anything these days. I would also prefer if it had an OLED screen for that cost, I love my switch oled and vita 1000, the screens have spoiled me.

Not gonna lie though, if the next xeno game is announced, I'll have to get one, because it's 200 hours of glory!!
 
500$ for PS4 hardware and no games?
I dunno Switch 2 sound like a waste of money to me
 
At the end of the day there are people who will buy because of their trust in the brand that’s been forged by years satisfactory performance from the people behind it.

How's FF rebirth? Also Xenoblade enjoyer
 
I'll wait for the dollar price to drop ::cirnoshrug

And for more games to release

I'd rather have a Steam Deck at that price. Or invest a little more into a gaming PC. Its not like Nintendo exclusives are that great anymore (aside from a couple, like Metroid, Zelda and Fire Emblem)
 
I'm in no rush, I'll wait till there are actually some decent games announced. It might probably take a year or two before I consider getting one.

Yes it is, because when PS4 was released it was a console with up-to-date graphics, like many other desktop ones. With Switch 2 you're buying a PS4 Pro in Docked mode and PS4 base in undocked mode for 500€. If that was expensive for you back then in 2013, imagine now in 2025.

I still consider Switch 2 price is a robbery, and that won't change no matter how many games are being released that I really really really want to play. Just get the games I want, and then the hardware will come years later, when they decide they've laugh enough at their customers :)
 
Preorders are not available in my country yet, but I'm ordering it as soon as it's available. I'll probably buy Mario Kart pack and wait for the console to be modded to fully use it.
 
People need to realize, unlike Sony, and Microsoft, Nintendo products retains their value over time. If I just decide to keep the bundle unopened and sell it to a collector who missed out on it, few/many years from now, I can double, or even triple my money. Hell, I can still probably double my money if I sell it during the Holidays this year.

Sorry i switched off to it, as the price made me switch from happy to sad!

Hot Take! That with or without board warping? There is also the matter of the switch not working without a battery in it, as there needs to be a maintained charge.

Oooh do not forget the cards which are licenses, lets see if Nin can keep the services on forever so you can keep the value of the games you may or may not buy.

Yep, got my pallet secured through a supplier friend. About 1200 units and all going for roughly double retail on FB Marketplace, eBay, and Craigslist. Happy Scalping folks!

Predictably. People can not deny themselves the instant gratification and every chance they get they WILL be an active part of the problem if it means they get their toy.

Ewww, dude. And you post that shit on a gaming forum? Are you that desperate for negative attention?
