Who are the usual culprits that tend to be pretty viable? Best buy? Target? Walmart? Amazon? Etc

Haven't had to preorder a new condo in awhile, and I would like to have an account ready, with credit card info already good to go in advanced. So I'm curious where you think we might be able to reliably preorder

 

[amigastar]

I guess Tommorrow will be up for preorder.
Edit: Oops you said where and not when, my bad.
Amazon for sure.

 

[Bond007]

Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[seething left]

Everywhere, and then off to eBay with that.

Hopefully tomorrow.

I meant which online retailers lol

I thought Amazon wasn't taking switch 2 pre-orders?

 

[Gamerfan81]

The scalpers are rubbing their hands like Birdman when preorders go up.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I'm sticking with the grab the oled model from a shelf at Bestbuy method.

 

[K' Dash]

some sites say tomorrow during or after the Direct, some say on April 9th.

Edit: I read "when", I got my day one SW from Amazon, I'll try to get one from them again.

Idk honestly, it was just a guess on my side.

 

[touchfuzzy]

It's gonna be a battle no matter what. Plan to do the same as I did with PS5 and right after the direct have all my usual retail sites open and logged in, then I just go between tabs refreshing until the first one updates. Best Buy was the winner that time.

 

[Kings Field]

I'll probably do an order on Amazon if they have them or in person GameStop. Preordered the PS5 the day they became open and have no trouble even with the fiasco that occurred during that. Same with the series x.

 

[Bond007]

I thought Amazon and Nintendo dont have the best relations. Seems i have had trouble preordering from them in the past.
Amazon is my first choice though

 

[Wooxsvan]

amazon. gamestop. best buy. i will be in gamestop parking lot too during the event

 

[spons]

It's going to be a shit show, the PS5 needed a fucking lottery at a large retailer here (coolblue.nl) to "have a chance to buy".

 

[Arsic]

I'm going GameStop route for this.

Don't want to deal with Amazon not shipping on time or some shit.

If there's a "must play" launch title im taking work off for it. Need to be able to pick up then get home balls out.

 

[Fermbiz]

Though, I'd prefer to order at an actual Best Buy store, that way I don't have to wait for the delivery person to drop it off, I'm gonna try my luck at bestbuy.com and amazon.com

 

[Deerock71]

My son works at Wal-Mart, so I hope I can pre-order there and get that juicy 10% discount.

 

[Kataploom]

I'm not gonna pre-order because I'm not from US and I have to see which retailers have it a best price here. I'll prob gonna pay like $600 for it if its MSRP is $400, I'm on Latinamerica so the craze here is gonna be less because it's a very expensive thing, but I hope to have a close to Day 1 as possible.

 

[keefged4]

I have a funny feeling nintendo.com may offer this service

 

[AJUMP23]

Gamestop.

 

[Punished Miku]

If you start camping outside Gamestop now, you'll be 1st on April 9th.

Once I fail to secure a preorder I will also be in the "wait until supply stabilizes and I will buy at retail" group.

Naw, StockX over eBay. eBay has too many scammers and is way too noisy. StockX will have an actual single link for ALL Switch 2 sales, and let you bid whatever you want, and verify you're getting what the seller claims before you get it (they receive the seller's item and inspect it before sending it to you).

 

[kapshin]

Xbox.com since the Switch 2 is where you will actually be able to play Xbox games
