i'm not going to bother securing a pre-order until it's more readily available

and if that doesn't happen till after launch, well whatever, i'll keep waiting

 

[Cynar]

Lmao, and some people were trying to argue that preorders wouldn't sell out instantly and be an NES Classic situation.

They definitely would. Just like the Wii u. Total amount moved though will be small. Just walk into a Walmart after launch and pick it up.

 

[mullet2000]

I knew the pre-orders will go fast. However, It won't be as rare to get afterwards as Nintendo wants everyone to get the switch whereas the NES mini is more of a niche or nostalgia product.

Sure, I meant mostly for launch.

Um due to the NES Classic fiasco, I kNEW the switch would sell out so I woke my ass up early to preorder. Lol

That's why I did too!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Okay, I don't know why I thought it's 9AM PST.


FUCK!!!

 

[Shaanyboi]

console pre-ordered via BB, and all my games pre-ordered on Amazon Prime.

Phew... Now I can sleep. lol

 

[trixx]

Japan is 350 canadian, so depending on shipping might be better to buy from there lol, Probably have to pay for border fees and yada yada

 

[Grease Bits]

I managed to get one at Amazon, nice.

I'm still going to walk over to ebgames sometime today to see what I can do with my credit there because making it this morning for 10am isn't going to happen.

I got one on launch day. That's all that matters.

 

[Rarius]

Aaaand they're gone

 

[ChosenPredator]

yeah canada loves it's Nintendo and the scalpers love buying to sell high on things like kijiji but i feel like there going to be alot better with making sure everyone gets a console

 

[chrono01]

Japan is 350 canadian, so depending on shipping might be better to buy from there lol

Heh, good call. The console is region-free too...

 

[SuperPoncho]

Stuck waiting on the neon....So no switch for me

 

[mullet2000]

Verified by Visa screwed me on my BB order, so it didn't complete, and it's gone now.

That happened to me for a television on boxing day. Verified by Visa is terrrrrible

 

[Sapiens]

Welp, tried ordering at BB but it kept giving an error, now it's sold out.

Hope you guys are happy with your second Switch.

Don't worry, bra - it's just for "insurance" - they'll totally cancel it and not try to put it on eBay or whatever.

You'll get royally dinged on import duties, though. That will eat up any savings.

 

[ReddishGUI]

Got an order on all 3 sites(for security).

Need dat zelda collector now.

 

[The Omega Man]

the joycon strap comes with both? because it won't let me add two and it is kind of pointless to buy just one

 

[Sora_N]

Eh I gotta get ready for work and stuff soon, EB site sucks. I can't even add the red/blue one to my cart so forget it.

Best Buy handled this the best, and the preorder was 100% smooth this time.

 

[sikkinixx]

Breath of the Wild - Switch Edition:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N33O68B/

Now the true switch: getting Amazon to switch my Wii u order for sub $50 Zelda to the switch one

 

[Aalvi]

wow i was putting my CC info and its sold out at BB

 

[Lexxism]

i'm not going to bother securing a pre-order until it's more readily available

and if that doesn't happen till after launch, well whatever, i'll keep waiting

Gotta wait for switch to pop out on your local shoppers!

 

[TheExodu5]

Can someone recap the accessory cost in Canada? can't find the info anywhere.

 

[Fate_Shirou]

got my order placed for the neon one from EB.....

 

[beta_fuse]

Switch games up for pre order on best buy but can't checkout

Zelda- http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...780&path=9824bc2daa6f20abbe1b19d2ea6ef04aen02

 

[zroid]

that's the dream :lol

 

[lacinius]

Damn... all in with tax on the Switch and Zelda and it's about $525.

Thanks Nintendo.

 

[Luigi87]

I actually got an order in on EB's site, lol

Now to drive down to my local one...

 

[Sora_N]

Looks like the EB site is working now? The red/blue system is adding to cart, going to try to checkout.

Iirc I have to call EB to cancel a preorder though right?

 

[Ryde3]

I managed to get an order in on Amazon.ca from that link posted (thank you) and Bestbuy.ca from that link posted (thank you.) Probably will keep the Bestbuy.ca order for the GZ points but I'll keep Amazon for awhile just in case of a price drop.

I can't believe the Pro controller is 90$ and the Joycon pair is 100$... insane.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

What happened to Walmart's product page?

 

[ohlawd]

email's fine too

 

[Rarius]

Aaand EB's site won't let me check out because it doesn't understand that I added the neon one when the grey one disappeared

[Sora_N]

LOL EB site errored out when I entered my CC information....

 

[Brinbe]

Absolutely brutal

 

[trixx]

Damn... all in with tax on the Switch and Zelda and it's about $525.

Thanks Nintendo.

That's crazy they should've at least packed in a game.

I probably could've pre-ordered one but was like nah no way. I'd have to get an extra controller due to my siblings, but considering prices of those it's a very easy pass

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Does EB Games charge you up front when ordering online?

 

[Sora_N]

I see red/blue as $999 on EB's site now.

EDIT: Hmm, weird it changed back. Their site is lagging like hell though.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

Damn... all in with tax on the Switch and Zelda and it's about $525.

That is ridiculous.

[LeGourmand]

I got a Neon version in cart but can't checkout... good job ebgames.

 

[joedick]

We have a thriving scalper community. And, in all likelihood, limited quantities allocated by Nintendo for pre-orders.
This was inevitable no matter how high the price or how poor the value proposition.

Plus, scalpers know they can just return their unsold 'stock' if they can't unload them. This ended up hurting the Wii U in its second month, there were tons of returns.

[EvilMario]

I knew EB's site would do this, but I was up about 5 after 9 and it was too late. Sold out when checking out at Best Buy.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

Had a Neon one in the cart but then it deleted my cart. Finally managed to add another one but it's saying not enough stock.

 

[Brinbe]

Yep, errored and now can't get a neon. fuck, gonna have to go out

 

[Grease Bits]

Geez I just realized all the games that are coming out near the Switch release date.

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Ghost Recon
Mass Effect: Andromeda

A Switch with Zelda means that I'm probably not going to get around to those 3 games now. If I didn't have Ghost Recon preordered for so cheap that'd be canceled.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Zelda Master Edition @ EBGames.ca

[NYR]

Holy shit, I guess people did really want this after all. Sold out everywhere already, wow.

That's why I probably have to cancel Horizon and/or Nier Automata.
