They don't.

They only charge you when it ships. Amazon is godly in that way.

Its a free pre-order and peace of mind until its actually on its way to you. Really nice to be able to pre-order things I'm not sure of and then just cancel the order if I want, no harm, no foul.

I love it.

Beautiful.

 

[gweemz]

Waiting until 2:10 am to try to get Amazon hardware, only because I don't trust Best Buy with having 2 orders. I fear that they will cancel both because I used the same credit card, even though I ordered from two different stores.

 

[CharminUltra]

I need that Master Edition. Nothing else will do.

 

[Beefy]

Day 1

 

[Pineapple]

I just don't understand how the largest online retailer in the world doesn't have pre-orders up for the console itself, when all of its competitors, from Gamestop to Best Buy to Walmart, have had pre-orders up and running for at least the past 45 minutes.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

hopefully someone will scan that Zelda map online by Launch day

I got to chase down amiibos so can't be buying collector's edition on top of them

 

[The Argus]

Day 1

Honestly, outside of Zelda and the eventual Mario release this has me excited most. Seems like a fun collection of mini games that my non game SO and friends can enjoy.

Amazon's king, they can start pre-orders whenever they want and people will wait and buy from them, their pre-order policy is the best.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

$50 USD.

Wait gamestop preorderd are up? I haven't seen them.

Day 1

They're supposed to be staring intensely into each other's eyes as they do that

 

[Biske]

$50 USD.

It's kind of selling me on it.

The joy cons seem pretty nifty. The sheer absurdity of revealing a game like that, in that way, its a bizarre kind of nintendo magic. Like "alright you crazy loons, I'll bite"

[Iva Demilcol]

I thought it was the hardware.

I'm super interested in the price in Amazon since it's the only way to get the a console for its official price in this country. Retailers usually sell them at higher prices than the official ones.

 

[Relix]

Nope, no Amazon US hardware at 2AM EST it seems. God dammit Amazon, I am done.

 

[Meffer]

What the fuck Amazon get your shit together.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

.

 

[vatstep]

If Amazon is going to wait for a specific time, it would be 3am EST/midnight PST. I'm not expecting it, though.

 

[AgeEighty]

Put in a preorder for Spla2n, since I'll be getting Zelda from BBY on launch day.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Managed to squeeze my order through from Amazon uk. No games to preorder yet so got another battle if the stock is low.

 

[majik13]

I want to get off the computer, but I know as soon as I do, the HW will go up for pre-order. wtf Amazon!?

Hmm, Amazon is saying the BotW s no longer available when I go to check out. Says out of stock.

 

[Cepheus]

Just preordered it on Amazon, but I'm not seeing any games on there yet.

Got the reverse problem for US. They put the games already but the system itself is not.

 

[Relix]

I am pissed. Everyone has it but them.

 

[adversarial]

The actual Amazon link doesn't matter, right? I have been refreshing the one IGN posted. I guess they get $ if theirs is used to purchase it.

 

[Izayoi]

I am pissed. Everyone has it but them.

And now every Amazon except US has it up.

Stay winning.

 

[vatstep]

Amazon pre-orders are going up in Europe! Maybe they'll go up in NA tonight after all.

 

[BRocknRolla]

This is dumb. I'm going to bed. Amazon losing a sale; I'll stick with BB.

Amazon likes to announce when they are putting up pre-orders for hot items like this in advance.

So, you know, it can sell out before 99% of people can even click the buy button.

 

[Relix]

Ah screw it, going to bed. Watch it go up as soon as I hit the bed.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

have you guys seen that crazy Sonic Mania collector's edition?

[BTA]

Same; I'm getting ready for bed now so y'all better thank me when I miss it.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Once I can preorder the system on Amazon I will cancel my Best Buy order.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Ah screw it, going to bed. Watch it go up as soon as I hit the bed.

I'm going to give them until 3AM
that is midnight west coast since they are from Seattle after all right?

 

[adversarial]

IGN Amazon link

I have two tabs open, one from my searching Amazon, and one from their link. One of them has Platform: No Operating System, the other has Platform: Nintendo Switch. Weird.

Yea HQ is there, they just updated the platform category on the page to Nintendo Switch when I refreshed.

 

[JigglesBunny]

My fiancé asked me to try and pre-order her Switch on Amazon (US) for her and it still isn't up yet?

It's 1:14 a.m. for me and I'll be working from 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. tomorrow. She can take a page from my book and sit out the Switch launch, haha.

Spoiler

I'll end up sleeping on our couch because of this.

I am seeing this changed:
Platform : Nintendo Switch


Oh god should I sleep or should I wait...

Lol, I didn't realize that was a Switch game. Saw it when browsing Amazon, but only glanced at it thinking it was one of those cheap emulator consoles

[Wayoshi]

Oddly MK8 Deluxe isn't up yet

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

In Canada:

Puyo Puyo Tetris is $55 on Switch.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MZ9DJZK/
Compared to $40 on PS4.

Cartridge that expensive/inflated? Or am I looking at Ninterndo tax?

 

[Meffer]

Jesus US what the hell?

 

[Orochinagis]

Zelda BotW 75 dollars for Mexico, yay....

It's $30 for PS4 physical/Switch digital, $40 for Switch physical in US. So that... seems about right?
