Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Kinda bummed that there is no bundle with Zelda. 370 for Switch and a game is pretty high.
Switch up on Amazon.de - 329,99

Still showing up on the Best Buy app for me.
I'm reluctant to sell my Wii U because I can't otherwise play those games. :lol
seeng as how my wii U has been collecting dust for the last ... 5 months, i'd be lying to myself if i said that i still had a need for it. We had some great times, but i'd rather have someone else enjoy using the device than me just 'having' it. :/
If you only look at it on the most simply terms, maybe.
The PS4 isn't portable, doesn't has a screen and functions of the Joy controllers. Being portable means, there has to be sacrifices, which the PS4 can ignore. You can put much more stuff into the PS4 and have it eat more power as it wants. The Switch has great tech in it to archive its specif goals, which means less power hungry parts and having less size. Those part can be even more modern as the PS4.
The thing is my backlog is huge. Still haven't finished Pikmin 3, Xenoblade X, Bayonetta 1+2, Wonderful 101. I wonder why I bought this system. :/

Did the exact same from UK Amazon. Let's see what the lowest price is gonna be... I'll either cancel one or give the one I decide not to keep to a gaffer.
Pre-Ordered both. Any German gaffer wants the one I don´t keep in case this thing becomes hard to get?
I don't know if this will do well or not, but when will people learn that being "sold-out" means absolutely nothing.
i've played like 1 hour of Twilight Princess HD, haven't finished Pikmin 3, haven't redeemed my free code for Wonderful 101.
I stopped believing that i'd ever find the time to go through that kind of backlog. There's too many great new games coming out and my time's limited. It's simply not realistic that i'd ever play / finish those games. As sad as it sounds.
What if I want one grey and one red? Can we make a deal?

...hate me...
Why can't they just keep taking preorders and placing them in a queue :/
Certainly this system they have can cost a few sales.
I've been online refreshing info almost all day, including amazon.de, and the one hour I was away it went on sale and sold out. Argh.
blue and red master race btw

I sold it during Christmas time for 220. Now I'm thinking of selling my 3DS once I finish Picnics 3D 2 and some other smaller titles too.

Can't find it cheaper than 329.99 anywhere in Ireland, cheapest I can find breath of the wild is 64.99
394.99 is such a huge ask and a price I wasn't really prepared for.

Just saw this here on twitter:
Ridiculous!
This is even more bs than usual.
What is so infuriating about that list? Honest question
Not really. The Euro has become much weaker than it was years ago.
Right now, 1$ is 0.93€.
300$ = 280€ aprox.
Add a 20% VAT and you have... well, the price of the Switch.
Or you expect Nintendo to pay the VAT themselves?

Germany prices are always including MwSt, US prices excluding VAT.

I feel bad for y'all, European brothers and sisters. Paying $50 more than us Americans because... reasons? C'mon Nintendo.
Maybe it has to do with complex global marketplace issues that are beyond my current knowledge base. But still...

Just paid the switch+zelda off through gamestops amazing trade-in deal. Normally I wouldn't have bought the console at lunch, but this was just too tempting to resist.

Here's the thing. I can understand Nintendo not wanting to do that. But pricing is not just about that but the cost the market can bear. If Nintendo wants to see these Switch SKUs that is reason for them to eat that cost. If they don't, then well, don't blame people for not buying it.
What did you trade in? How much would you get for a Wii U?
Only software counts towards the "double value" afaik.
I'm wondering what happens when I trade in my stuff, and then cancel the preorder. Will I get back the difference - the game bonus value or all of my money.

Danke!
I have one preordered at a locat store, but he wasnt sure if he gets enough as a Nintendo representative told him that Austria isn't getting many.
You won't see me complaining if people don't buy it.
The Switch is too expensive for what is is, IMO. But those 30 you are paying because of taxes aren't the problem.
The system would be (almost) equally unappealing for a lot of people at 300. For various reasons. People has been posting them for a while.

Thank you, where do I find deutschGAF?
In the community section. My advice would be to avoid DeutschGAF.
Will you make it to GC this year?

4 PS3, 2 PS4, 3 Wii U and 2 3DS Games got me 230.
Wii U trade-in is not affected by the switch promotion, but the clerk at my store told me I would get 90 for a white one and 115 for a black one. You also get 30 for a Wii, if anyone is interessted.

I don't think the difference is important either. But there is a psychological barrier of selling it for 329 vs 299. It is perceived as more significant than it is. Just look at posts in this thread.

I pre-ordered mine in grey.
Not sure yet if I'll stick to it.
400 just for Zelda really is a lot of money...
So probably not.

Why did the PS4 not price their console higher in euro's then?
Also the tax in US is variable, some states have no tax. Literally nearly all the countries apart from the U.S is getting shafted by Nintendo.

you dont need to pay the overpriced MSRP in germany
This was not for me, but just answering ....
No, I do not expect Nintendo to pay VAT for me. But I also do not expect Nintendo to pass to me as a consumer the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, particularly when they never took this into account when it would have been in favour of consumers paying in euros.
