Damaged switch 2 screens

Most premium devices are packaged face up, to give a specific unboxing experience. Stapling receipts to the front seems hilariously stupid.

Could you imagine if Nintendo flipped them over and the staples then punctured the batteries instead causing fires, and then had to issue an emergency recall on all units? Oh man.

You should write the next Final Destination movie 🤣 Thats for sure.
 
Thin boxes with iPhones, iPads, Microsoft Surface and so on must be handled with care. These are thin boxes with expensive hardware that you do not punch holes into.

Right, some have blamed Nintendo but I was thinking the same, almost all these devices are packaged that way.

You are so shill that you ll deffend every short comming of this console, Nintendo really couldnt do any better than a fucking plastic film ? Really ?

Every cellphone on the planet has a glass screen that dosent scratch with a fucking penny and dont shatter glass when broken, zero protective plastic film.

I've seen better packaging on a big mac that you get through the mcdonalds drive thru. You could possibly damage this thing just by accidentally dropping the box, because there's literally nothing protecting the switch 2 screen besides a piece of plastic thinner than and smaller than the paychecks mr.krabbs gives to spongebob. I agree with you.

There is already the staple case, it amazes me how he can shill everything, dude cant even agree that a plastic film is a poor solution for a u$450 portable console were the screen is the most important factor of It.

I think it's both. Was there really nothing separating the screen from the top of the box?

The ultra-poor company Nintendo making packaging material for their consoles:

Dumb mistake but also poor packaging. Recently bought two new phones (Fold 7 and S25 Ultra) and there was a layer of protection between the screens and the box. I was surprised when I opened the box and saw that the Switch 2's screen is just flush against the box.

I'm pretty sure my S25 Ultra had the screen facing up but I could be remembering wrong. In any case I don't think stapling the camera lens is any better if somebody wanted to attach a receipt to the box.

It was facing up but there was a little cardboard box (containing manuals, charger, cable, etc) that they put between the screen and the outer box to prevent dumb mistakes like this.

The Switch 1 have sold 152 million with the same package… This have nothing to do with that… 100% human error in this case.

I was thinking the same thing, GameStop are idiots for doing this - aside from anything else, loads of people like keeping boxes in good condition.

But, I also look at Nintendo's simulation of a premium experience as being typically Nintendo-like (cheap). The joycons look kinda plopped down next to the screen-up console, they could have arranged everything much better. It wouldn't look like this if it was an Apple console, etc.
 
Strange how everyone is making this a supposed issue now when the switch uses the exact same box setup. If this was an actual problem why has nothing come out in the 7 years of the switch 1s lifespan? how many millions of swiches have gone by without some fuckmuppet thinking smashing a stapler into a box was a great idea.

In fairness phone boxes are like this now too. Would probably mess those up if you stapled something to it.

No they're not, maybe $20 burner phones. Every phone of any consequence has the screen covered by the box of warranty/FCC manuals/sim tool/USB cable, or a form shaped plastic mold. I've never seen a phone packaged with the screen touching 2mm of plain cardboard.

Can't even get Bender to post a QL still, because this isn't an accident by Nintendo. They're fully into this heel run at this point, and they aren't even attempting to hide their money hungry ways.

I've seen people say phones don't have much protection either, but for all their faults Apple use solid cardboard with extra layers inside to create a cutout for the phone/tablet to sit in face down. They might have been dicks by cutting out the charger from their boxes, but what you still get is packaged well. Someone designed that and tested it.

Nintendo on the other hand might as well do away with boxes and ship them loose for all the protection provided by that box. Have cashiers just throw them from 10 feet away and hope the customer can catch.

I agree that it's human error... the human that designed the packaging this way. ;)

Seriously though, read the rest of the post that you quoted. Can you explain why phones are packaged carefully, but not the Switch 2? The only explanation for the packaging is Nintendo penny-pinching, and that's not really something to defend... but I see from your post history that you're working overtime (for free) to defend your favorite company so I guess you can't help it.

My Switch 2 was triple-packaged: Aramex, then AIC, then Nintendo's outer cover, and finally the official console package. They would have needed to drill through all of that to damage the screen.

If your main part of the product is sensitive to puncture and placed right up against a thin sheet of cardboard, your packaging is the fucking problem. They could have placed it upside down, but valued the presentation over product integrity. Sure staples shouldn't be jammed into it, but now every time a box gets dinged while being moved around some distribution center, someone needs to break the seal to open and make sure the screen is ok.
 
Are you serious? How can the negligence of a retail employee at the point of sale possibly be Nintendo's fault? Did Nintendo design their packaging anticipating someone would intentionally staple it? By that logic, should they also make the boxes waterproof in case an employee decides to shower with them? That's ridiculous.

Dude ffs it's the fault of everyone involved. And plenty of people in the topic are calling out the employee, but the correct response is to call out everyone involved.

Nintendo is at fault for packaging a $400+ touchscreen product in flimsy cardboard with the screen exposed.
GameStop is at fault for requiring whatever nonsensical receipt or paid sticker or whatever to be attached to a box. (See their notoriously goopy price stickers on game cases for further.)
GameStop Employee is at fault for using a stapler to attach said nonsensical receipt or paid stick to the box.

You are so quick to attack just the employee and then, well, this entire site. It reads like you're trying to let a certain corporation off the hook...

He is saying it like it is, the first Switch was packed exactly the same yet you heard nobody about it.
Now people seem to have a hateboner for Nintendo everything is criticised.
There is nothing wrong with the box, i got my order from Nintendo in a nice carton box with Mario print inside, the actual box has a sleeve before you can open the box and take out the console, i saw someone commenting that the package was like a burger wrap so much bullshit people are spewing....
 
I like how people in here are ignoring the fact that, in spite of the flimsy packaging, pretty much every Switch 2 was safe upon opening the box, except the ones being idiotically stapled on by a moron.

It took me a few seconds, when I opened the box, to realize that what I was looking at was actually the screen. Still, the packaging seems to do its job… and it's cheap. Seems quite effective, save for big brain video game shop clerks.

iPhones are boxed face down, so are Samsung ultras. So what premium devices are actually boxed face up?

They are also both boxed with recesses, be some industrial level stapler shit to puncture through metal but.

The issue is up or down Nintendo boxes a product hard against 2mm of cardboard protection, both are wrong.

I don't have to explain nothing… I didn't see anyone having problems with the Switch 1 package… What next? throw a box from a plain and expect to have parachutes? This Nintendo is Bad is getting ridiculous at this point.

No, it's not. It's the dumbass employee stapling receipts to a fucking cardboard box that someone paid $500 for.
