Really. Mine is on its way. Might get another set of Joy-Cons with that money.
Thanks for the heads up. I feel like I searched all over for it a few months ago and couldn't find it.

Does that work for games as well? Or just Switch hardware?
Console, Games or Accessories.
Hoping Nier and Horizon will still be 40 (base) before April 2.

Does 80 cover the entire cost of a new Switch game?
yes it would, since you don't pay tax when trade credit is applied directly to a purchase

Anyone have experience returning stuff to amazon? I have a switch coming from them i don't need so i'd rather return the damn thing than deal with selling, at least if they make that shit easy on me.

I'm in the same situation. I return shipped Zelda today: basically they give you a prepaid thing to print out, go drop it off at the post office (in a box or bubble mailer or whatever is convenient) with a printed RMA slip inside. Then after they get the product in whatever days you get your refund, so it seems.
I'm going to just reuse the box the switch comes in and cover up the original shipping labels.

Hmm I tried to cancel it before they mailed it but they said they were unable to cancel but that I'd be able to refuse the package, maybe I'll just do that but even then I don't know how that works in regards to getting refunded.

They told me the same thing, but I'm never around to refuse delivery when they come by (I've also never done it).
My Switch is (hopefully) going to show up on Monday and I've got the Hori screen protector ordered as well. Just the regular one, not the premium one.
I was wondering whether there were any distinct issues with this one before I eventually upgrade to a tempered glass one? I'm reading people freaking out about the plastic ones melting on their screens, but I wasn't sure whether that was just people being paranoid or if it had some amount of truth to it. As of now, there aren't any tempered glass ones in stock on Amazon Prime anywhere, and the Orzly one says it likely wouldn't arrive until the end of March.

It's only been a day on my part, but i have the regular version, and after 7 hours of zelda, the filter has shown no issues.

With the switch launching can we expect the price of Wii u to go down? Looking around there more expensive then the switch..

I'm planning to do this too. Can I trade it in in the shrink wrap? Just want to make sure I get $80 towards switch games
Not on brand new consoles but maybe used ones at EB Games or Kijiji for example. The Wii U was discontinued a while back and stores are no longer resupplied. You might find one on clearance locally in the future but from my experience, they are gone. There were even rumors about stores sending them back to Nintendo IIRC.

you can, but they'll just open it in front of you.
i did this once years ago when i forgot to cancel an amazon order and was able to get pretty good money back.
Mine is the regular one. Played docked Zelda for quite a few hours yesterday and it seems okay so far.

I ordered the premium hori one, so it turns out the premium one is the crappy one? lol
Is this a widespread issue? Any hori premium screen protector can chime in?

Same. Have a tiny bubble in the corner that developed in the first hour but never got any bigger after 2 days.

It is not. I asked on Friday in an attempt to move some credit around. Credit moved to Sonic Mania instead (which is spring TBA)

Random question: how do I know if a pre-order game on Amazon had release-day delivery for Prime orders? I ask because a few games I've ordered since becoming Prime are late, as usual (BOTW SE and the new Story of Seasons). I don't care that much about actually getting them on time (if I did, I wouldn't have bought from Amazon!), but I feel like I'm paying for a guarantee and not getting it. But I don't want Amazon to come back and say neither game actually had the release-day guarantee, so I'd like to check beforehand.

if anyone in ottawa, is still looking for a switch. I got a grey color one, still sealed (un-used), which my brother doesn't want anymore. So, instead of returning i rather have a fellow neogaf get it. All I want is what i paid for it and that's all. So, let me know.
Watch for some guy jumping out of his van and throwing it at your door and driving away.
delivery on a sunday?! is this actually happening?!
Good thing it's just Zelda and not the console :lol

Will be curious to see how many and how often the consoles get restocked at ebgames so i can use the credit i have.

I want to buy a new physical version of "Dirt Rally" for PS4. Amazon says ships in 1-2 months. EB Games is out of stock. Best Buy only has a recycled version and Walmart/The Source don't carry it at all. Come on, this can't be so difficult!
Thanks, yeah I figured. May preorder ARMS or something in the meantime
The first time I did same day Prime delivery some dude ripped up the road is this hunk of shit Jetta. Slams on the brakes outside my house. Gets out, rap music BLARING as the door opens, he SPRINTS to the door, chucks the box so it bumps the door and jumps back in the car and burns rubber away.
It was funny to watch.

Must be 'hood specific. I get 2 deliveries a week, and these AMZN guys are polite, careful, and always on-time. Got a delivery at 8am last week!
Couldnt find a package one day, and the guy put in the tracking notes "left at side screen door", which was brilliant because it was raining and a bigger box.
Are you sure it's not another courier co doing the shoddy delivery for you?

Look for a "Want this on Release Day? Order with 2-day shipping at checkout" kinda message on the order page. If it doesn't have that, then it's not guaranteed.
Sadly, I've noticed Nintendo games rarely have this. Most other big releases do though. (just a theory but I think the issue is Friday releases, those seem to be missing it)

Yeah, that's what I checked for, but once a game releases I think that message disappears. I was hoping to look it up after the fact, but it doesn't even appear on my order summary or anything. Story of Seasons showed a shipping window of March 7-9, so I think maybe it didn't have release-day. Ah well.
(Zelda SE I imagine is just a different barrel of monkeys I'd best leave closed...)

Any USB to USB-C cables that I should avoid? Going to pick one up today before the Hockey game at the source.
That happened to me when I traded a few things toward Switch stuff back in Jan
Probably won't make use of whatever benefits are there, but you do get a nice one-time use coupon for $5 bonus trade value on any game. I gave them my copy of OG Street Fighter IV which was worth like $0.10, so got $5.10 for it.
My AMZNCA dude usually is this awesome mid-age black dude who's always polite and patient. Once he was very specific about scanning the delivery in front of my door since I came out after he wrote "front door" on his device. "Oh son they are watchin', they watchin' us but not your parcel!" lol.
Oh and occasionally they deliver on weekends too.
