Fellow Canadians, are we prepared to get screwed in the butt with $399.99 price tag for Switch ??? I'm calling that now :(

Thanks for this. Guess no harm in having them pre ordered just in case there's a pricing error.

So is it confirmed Amazon.ca is 6 AM PST for Switch pre-orders? Been considering Best Buy or EB Games but would rather Amazon given my long history with them. Any help is much appreciated! Cheers.

Console is a joke at that price tbh
and I want to love it. I love the design and the idea behind it.
The only things Nintendo had over other console makers are their exclusive first party games and free online.
Now online is paid and they barely have any games ready for this year.
in addition to the outlandish price. At the end of the day, its pretty much a handheld that can connect to a TV, and there's nothing wrong with that design, and quite frankly I love it, but why would I buy that when I can buy a more powerful system, with a better online ecosystem and a vastly larger library, all readily available right now
for cheaper?

Switch for 400 is just too much...

The only reason I can see for picking one up at launch is if you need to play zelda and don't have a Wii u.

I don't blame Nintendo for launching at that price, but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a 50usd cut in price by Xmas and probably bundled with a game or two.

The question I wonder is Nintendo going to throw out a new hand held, or is the switch going to fullfil that role moving forward...

Guess it will depend on how it sells

I want the master edition zelda, and that's it. Won't buy the console at launch this time around. Got burned with the Wii U at launch so I'll wait.
 

Zelda one 404's now, perhaps they're putting it up right now?
 
It's up on US Amazon. Why they fucking with us here?

I mean, I for one am kind of grateful I can plan ahead and know specifically when it will drop. Instead of having us mindlessly mash f5 for naught until the sun goes up, we know exactly when we have to wake up/take a break from work or school to get at this.

I mean, I still plan on mashing f5, but I like knowing that when my spirit weakens and I give up, I will likely still have a chance to preorder what I want to preorder.

You can cancel a pre-order on amazon at anytime, right ?

Also what if you're still undecided a few days before launch ? Do you have until your item ships to cancel your pre-order ?

Wake up 15 min prior. Amazon always fucks up.

Pre-ordered the master edition zelda on the US website, just need to find a good shipping forwarder in case I'm not able to pre-order from a Canadian store.

Just worried that it's extremely limited quantities like most Nintendo LEs, had to get a backup.
