Anybody else 'round here securing a pre-order?
I snagged one from the meme stock store earlier today and JUST got the confirmation email so I think I’m good (fingers crossed I don’t get a cancelled order email later lmao)
I don’t want one right now. Didn’t see any reason to buy it day one which is not like me, but finances are tight so I can’t really see splurging right now. My friend was all over it though and shockingly enough he said he was able to get it last night from Walmart after waiting in an online queue for 45 min and totally expected the worst.
Just say GameStop
The console looks like a nice upgrade and I’ll get one eventually, but with most games also releasing on Switch 1 at least for a while and not much announces for it that interests me right now, coupled with a personal financial situation that prevents me from comfortably affording a console regardless of its price, I can wait on it for now.
Couldn’t get through on any site last night. But, I’m signed up for the Nintendo preorder on 5/8 so I feel pretty good I’ll get one of those.
And if not, whatever. They’ll make more, I’ll get one eventually.
I tried BestBuy and Walmart at midnight but they were having issues and was sleeping by the time it was resolved
GameStop I snagged because they didn’t start theirs till 11AM EST and I devtooled the “Not Available” button to be enabled and it worked lmao
After getting a Steam Deck my interest in the Switch 2 dropped significantly.
I love my Switch and all the great 1st party games I have for it, but I cant justify buying the Switch 2 right now.
It’s tough getting 50-85% discounted games on Steam and then go back to Nintendo and seeing games at full price years after release (I know I know “Nintendo games retain their value”).
Not only that but I need to prioritize bills and essentials over games right now. Even with games being $5-10 on Steam I decide against it since I can use that towards groceries, gas, or utilities.
Not in the US so I already got my order at the Nintendo store. Hype.
Is anyone (other than maybe Nintendo) setting up a wait list for buying systems as they restock? I would not mind getting at the back of that line.
There aren’t any release window games I want, but I may want one by the holidays or next year, once more games are released.
I went in with low expectations but managed to secure a preorder from Best Buy.
Pre-ordered as soon as it was available. Looking forward to it!
Set a reminder but then my phone was in do not disturb and I forgot. D’oh. Oh well, I can wait.
Pre ordered the day it was available here in the UK, so excited for release day! Just wondering from everyone who pre ordered in the US, did you have some stores do in person pre orders only too? Here, Currys (major electronics retailer) did in person pre orders only, which I thought was a good idea to prevent scalping as the online stock everywhere was bought up nearly immediately.
Best Buy (Similar to your Currys) was doing in store preorders and GameStop was as well
Walmart and Target weren’t afaik and none were doing exclusively in-person pre-orders
I pre-preordered from Nintendo but haven’t gotten my email yet.
