How much are you spending on a Switch day one?
- Thread starter Movalpolos
- Start date
Nintendo Switch (Grey) $299.99
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild $47.99
PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock $29.99
Joy-Con (L-R) Neon Blue $79.99
PDP Nintendo Switch Starter Kit $29.99
TOTAL: $487.95
Traded in my Xbox One (that got no use) and a few games for $211 during the Gamestop promo.
That leaves me at $276.45 out of pocket before taxes.
Zelda will tide me over until Mario Kart and Odyssey, as well as Splatoon as I have a decent PC and PS4. ARMS looks interesting too but not sold on it yet.

Day one? None.
Later? Probably a few hundred dollars, once the other games start to hit. At that time, I'd likely get the following arrangement:
Console
Extra Joycon Set
Charge Grip
Breath of the Wild
1, 2, Switch
Snipperclips
Arms
Super Mario Odyssey
Something along those lines, anyway.

Switch + Zelda.
I want to check if I can play Zelda comfortably without Pro Controller.
Later (days/weeks) probably case for console.

Console, Zelda maybe Bomberman R. Possibly just Console and Zelda.

I mean this isn't especially helpful.
But some of the totals in here are making me cringe, and the thing is even if the base unit drops in price the accessories/games likely never will.
Grey Joycon Switch £279.99 Amazon UK
Breath of the Wild £49.99 Argos
Pro Controller £59.99 Zavvi
Total £389.97
Already paid £44.99 for Mario Kart 8 from Argos as well but that's for April.
It's not that bad really. Think I paid £450 for a PS4 with Killzone and Battlefield 4 on release day from Amazon.

Prices in USD.
Switch: $336.74 (GameStop preordered online on 1/15, taxes and day one arrival shipping)
Breath of The Wild: $51.47 (Amazon, physical with Prime discount and Ohio taxes)
PDP Switch case, Mario edition: $14.99 (Amazon with Prime shipping)
Total is $403.20.
I'm getting a 200GB MicroSD later. I already have a 64GB in my 3DS so I'm going to just use that for now and see how that goes. I plan on going only physical and using storage space for patches and DLC. Also getting a Pro controller later, but not day one. I'm going to wait for that to drop in price. I have a friend with big hands and will only play Mario Kart 8 with the gamepad, so I'm not going to get a Pro controller for one person who won't play it often right away. I'm feeling sadistic enough to have him play MK8D with a joycon and watch him suffer. >
I would have gotten my Switch from Amazon, but because of how easy it is to change payment and shipping info with literally no hassle, I reserved my brother's there since he's in the service. He was going to try to preorder one but missed preorders by a long shot, so I sent him a surprise message that I got him his console and a copy of Zelda on there, and we would just edit payment and shipping info when he comes home 2 weeks before launch.
I originally preordered from Walmart on the 13th but they gave me the wrong delivery date and never corrected it, plus they didn't charge immediately as the site's FAQ said it would. I cancelled the preorder as soon as GameStop went back up on Sunday for the last of the first wave and paid extra to deliver March 3rd. Would have arrived several business days later if I used free shipping. Walmart actually charged me today, several days after cancelling but PayPal is going to refund me for it. My bank was always very quick with this, so I got paranoid. I've never had a charge/hold come on my account several days after ordering. It normally takes minutes, even on weekends.

People where saying the PS3 had no games for like the first 3 years of it's lifecycle. I will get a Switch, but not day 1 but i would have to be really bored if i am going to spend 470 AUD for 1 game.

Eventhough I have preorded.. I think it'll be zero euro..
tl;dr 0
After the press event my enthusiasm has lowered.. and I'll probably wait for the eventual bundle with games and for the prices to drop.
IMO it's gonna be yet another "WiiU" launch with lack of content (especially since I have Wiiu) and way overpriced hardware overall..

How much can you get for a PS4 Pro with GTA5 and Destiny?

Just the console and zelda for now. I will buy an SD card for it later down the line but for now I just wanna play zelda lol
Same plus Bomberman, and I'm set until ARMS comes up. I'll trade in lots of WiiU / 360 / 3DS / PS4 games too so I might buy a second pair of joycons with that money by then.

Pre-order placed on Switch + Zelda atm.
Switch - $469.95 AUD
Pro Controller - $99.95
Halves in a 2nd joycon set $60 AUD (splitting the costs with my bro as he's getting a Switch too)
Switch Carry Case - $29.95 AUD
Zelda - $89.95 AUD
FAST RMX (if it makes launch date) - $99.95 AUD
Total: $849.75
Add I am Setsuna there but probs wont play until after Zelda tbh so not a massive priority.
EDIT: Will probably look at selling some rarer Amiibo too if it's worth it just to cover some costs.

£280 for the console and about £50 for botw. Might buy fast racing and snipperclips if they're day one but I have no idea of their price.

Console - £280 (My pre-order is still open on Amazon so i'm hopeful)
SDXC Card - £40
Games - £100ish
Maybe:
Pro Controller - £60
Joycons - £60
Not sure about getting the Pro Controller and/or joycon pair but i'd really like to get another dock/base station so i can have one on the TV in the room and one on my PC monitor upstairs. Do we know when the base units are available separately in the UK?

If amiibos count, I'd be buying all the BotW amiibos on launch too so add another 100 to my total.

Nintendo Switch - 330
Pro Controller - 70
Zelda - Breath of the Wild - 100
Switch Case and protection kit - 20
Extra pair Joycons - 80
Charge grip - 30
630, wow not bad...
At first I also preordered 1 2 Switch but then I decided against it. Was hoping for a party game that is still a videogame like NintendoLand but 1 2 Switch doesn't feel like one...
Maybe I should also cancel the extra joycons and charge grip because I won't need them at launch...

Zelda SE - $80.
Other than that, dunno. I'm thinking I might just get Zelda and hold on to it until Black Friday or the Switch drops in price or something. I have the Switch pre-ordered just in case I decide to go ahead and get it on launch, but I'm not really leaning in that direction atm.

Zelda BOTW Master edition - $129 ($189 AUD)
I already have a 64GB micro sd which I'll use for a little while.

For me:
Switch (Grey), Zelda Special Edition, Extra Joy-cons (neons), Charge-grip
Will pick up a pro-controller as well if I see it. Uncertain about the other launch switch games, though my wife would love 1,2 switch so I might pick it up.
Looking for a good micro-sd card.. the bigger the better
