There's a giant Marvel logo at the start of the movie - takes up the whole screen! Wolverine's a Marvel character, even if Marvel Studios aren't making or distributing the picture themselves, so I think it's still fair to consider it a 'Marvel' movie.
So I know friend codes are dumb and all, but now they're one way instead of the dumb trades of the Wii years, the hyperbole regarding them is pretty nuts. I mean, it's not actually the worst idea ever from a security standpoint to have a unique identifier that isn't your login username or email address.
Besides, we literally use long strings of numbers for the most common form of non-physical communication in the world (telephones and texting), I don't see the massive deal.

PSA: Link doesn't auto jump. RIP.
A few years ago at Big W, they told me in the game section they would price match a competitor, but refused to price match an EB price (yes, the EB price was cheaper!) because it wasn't a direct competitor. It was about a ten second walk from their entrance so I just went there.
I understand it isn't a direct competitor with Big W as a whole but it is with that department.

Strolled into my local EB Games where all my stuff had been pre-ordered for months and was told that head office were being stingy cunts about price matching Switch stuff. HO had been harassing stores all day making sure they were checking price matches at competitors at least every hour to ensure they got every last red cent they could out of customers.
Did a 360 and moonwalked into my local JB HiFi next door and bought everything I wanted at cost price. Went back to EB and cancelled all my orders and got a refund.

This EB store is usually pretty cool but they had Head Office harassing them all day and area & district managers circling like vultures. I'm not about to give the store staff a hard time and potentially put their jobs at risk because of backwards-arse greedy corporate.
The suits are in for a rude shock when Amazon arrives later this year.

Anyone going digital with Switch might be excited to hear it is dead simple to change the region on the console and buy from any region you want.
1. Just log onto your Nintendo account on the website
2. Change the region to whatever you want (e.g. North America)
3. Accept the Terms and Conditions
4. You can now access the eShop in that region on Switch
All your purchases are still linked to the same Nintendo Account so it seems to be similar to Xbox where you can change and buy in other regions without having to have separate accounts like with PSN.
If you have a NNID tied to your Nintendo Account it will unlink if the region you change it to is different. However, if you change it back to the matching region you can relink it. Not sure if NNID will be useful going forward anyway unless they allow past VC purchases to come over or with a small upgrade fee.
The only thing is I'm not sure about is how to "fund" the store you're buying from. Not sure why type of credit cards work. You have have to buy Nintendo Credit online at Amazon for example.
I haven't tried buying anything yet. Was going to wait to see if someone else had done it first. Will grab Snipperclips if it's good later from US store and save about $6AU

Tons of stock at our Target. They didn't actually sell any Switch units so 7 are sitting in the case. Tons of Zelda stock, they only got a small amount of the other games, Zelda WiiU they got twice as much than Bomberman etc lol.
Got the 3rd last copy of Horizon, lucky!

Did anyone preorder a Switch for home delivery and receive it on time?. I live in Newcastle and according to Auspost tracking it's still in QLD.
Yeah I'm gonna wait until I take it outside before I get a case. I've actually been playing tabletop mode a lot which is unexpected, but hopefully I'm not making it too dirty lol.

Yeah EB Games done fucked up their Zelda pre-orders. My copy of BotW Wii U is spending the night in Underwood.

All I ask is that you remember these of us who were less fortunate.
I guess on the bright side I guess I'll pick up a screen protector and case over the weekend.

Yeah it scratches pretty easy, recommend one of the gorilla glass ones.
I'm glad I'm holding off on buying one, it's allowing me to get my expectations set at the right height. There's so many little things they should have fixed and just... didn't

So Adele puts on a pretty good show. Mind you, the whole time I felt like I was awash in a sea of estrogen.
That's okay though, since it smelled a lot nicer than any of the other concert crowds I've been in.

Same, since Zelda looks much better with the Switch's screen. I played the first 5 hours on the TV, thought the art style was bad as was the image quality...then tried playing it off the TV and it looks very good.
I saw $20 bigben ones at JB Hifi. I don't know if there are better ones.

I plan on using the switch mainly at home on the TV but for upcoming holidays I want a screen protector. what's recommended by those who have gotten one?

Did this last night. Only knew tiny plot points from 1 or 2 early adverts. Essentially went in blind.
Mild spoilers
I cried. Bf cried. His dad died when he was young so it hit him super hard.

Oh my goodness yes. Though we laughed heartily atTypo I assume? $439 still the best price even so
Those emotions
the old man Charles schtick. Working in aged care it hit too close to home for both of us lol
After work today I'm gonna hit up my local big w's. I'm giving in. I want a switch. I lasted 2 days.

Hahah woops yes 439 of course!
Just an update for those in the same boat. Ended up going to bunnings getting a chamois thingy, cut it up and put some electrical tape on the back, working well so far.
So I've decided to try and sell off my giant comic collection. Well not THAT giant...probably 8 long boxes big. Don't really care what I get for it at this point just something. Or at least not enough to care about selling it by title or story arc or something.
Good god, now I know why I never audited the whole thing before. Takes so bloody long.

So SO SO costly , wanted a comic collection but the cost and space is why i sort of never bothered have been looking at giant hardback collections of late but even they are over the top cost wise
do you have any tmnt stuff ? i might be intrested in buying those , aside from that would be intrested to know what there is but doubtfull that i could offer a fair price for Sets
otherwise maybe try some of the comic forums on the web

Picked up a PS4 Pro at my local Target for $489 after trying to get it price-matched at my JB-HIFI. The guy didn't believe me when I said they were selling them for as much and went to check on Target's site but couldn't find anything. The staff at Target were similarly taken-aback, all the pricing in-store still reflected the $559 price so had to show them the link on their on site.
Now, to get 2tb's worth of data from my vanilla PS4 onto Pro's stock 1tb... Fun stuff.

Yeah. Anyway it took me a whole day.
Anyway I put up a gumtree add with a negotable $250 for the lot (theres like 950 issues all up). And of course the first reply was 'can I just buy the Buffy collection and can you ship it'). I hoped someone local would just take the whole thing off my hands as I didn't reall want the hassle of selling and shipping it piecemeal. Which is why i had considered just dumping the whole lot on a local 2nd hand book store or a charity.
Anyway, no...I don't have any TMNT.
I have a google sheet for the whole thing.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SmDnddqFw-DxH9LxGtfCgBPZSSRowI5UXvZ7CvIxWY8/edit?usp=sharing
After that first request I adjusted the add, so I guess I will take some piecemeal requests. There I said 50 cents an issue (rounding to the next $5) plus postage.
So if there's a chunk you do want, let me know. Well unless you live in Newcastle and want to take the lot and then offload the bits you don't want
But yeah. Space is the reason I'm selling. Family issues have meant that the spare room where I kept all my media needs to be turned into a bedroom. I'm need needing to liquidate my comic, dvd and cd collections.
For most media I've gone all digital, so its not such an issue for me.
Actually now that you remind me, I do also have a trade collection that I did not include. there's at least some of that I'd sell off. There isn't much though.
What are you going to do there? It's one reason I havnt grabbed a pro because I can't figure out a nice way of moving my 2TB drive into the pro. Although I just got nbn on Thursday so maybe I can just download everything.
