Switch Neon Blue + Red £279.99 + Zelda £49.95, unless I see a better offer before release day. I will wait for price drops on accessories like extra Joy-Cons.
I'm getting it more for the handheld mode anyway because no matter how hard Nintendo try to convince themselves or others, Switch is clearly a handheld system 1st and a home console 2nd.

In all honesty, even though I was waiting for a price drop or bundle I'll probably end up picking one up with Zelda (so around the £320-330 mark I imagine).
I've got an operation scheduled for march and having to take a few weeks off will send me crazy and I'll probably give in. I'm a sucker for new consoles but this is the closest I've been to being able to hold off. I got burned a little with the original 3ds and Wii U. The ambassador programme the 3ds had doesn't fill me with confidence that Nintendo could soften the blow should it flop. Even as I'm typing this I can feel my mind being pulled in two directions haha.

Got the Switch, Zelda Masters, and a charging dock for $500. Im leaning towards picking up Bomberman, Binding of Issac, and and a pro controller but I haven't decided yet.

Hoping I can afford Switch+Zelda+Bomberman
Which will come to $399.99+79.99+$?? (price for bomberman being announced next week apparently) = at least $550+ (taxes included) if I'm being optimistic... I'm fucked.

This is me. If Puyo ends up being a secret launch title then that too.

Just the basics for me:
Grey Switch - $0 (Not out of my own pocket so I personally don't coun't it. Gotta use them Amazon bucks somewhere!)
Zelda - $48 (Amazon Prime bby)
This list would have had more if Smash Bros and Mario Maker were announced and coming
As a non WiiU owner, those two would be the greatest to have at launch

very good! best I've seen is 319 blind preorder without guarantee of receiving it day one, so I'll probably wait it out till I can grab one for 299 plus pair of matching neon joycons

Switch with gray Joycons - $300
Neon red/blue Joycons - $80
Joycon charge grip - $30
Power adapter - $30
Zelda special edition - $100
6ft USB C cable - $11
Pro Controller (if I can find/pre-order one) - $70
I am waiting on getting a micro sdxc card. If their digital store has the same policies as before I won't be using it and go all physical again. Also, I might get some more games depending on reviews and word of mouth

Zero really. I got burned by the Wii and burned by the Wii U. Not falling for it again.
If I can see at least 5 or 6 games down the road that look good on the system then I'll consider it, but I've never thought the idea of getting a console for one game was worth it.

Well, my fiancee and I both went in on some stuff, here is the stuff coming on day one. I used the BB deal on a lot of it hence the differing pricing.
Switch (X2) $632
Mesenger Bag $31
Joycon Charger (does 4x at once) $24
2x Joycon Charge Grips $53
2 sets of Joy Con pairs (neon and normal) $127
Zelda Master Edition $110
1-2-Switch $32
Zelda Amiibo $63 for all 5
I also plan on getting Bomberman if it's fair priced, and pre-ordered like 6 other games, but my day 1 total is gonna be about 1100 if I get bomberman, but my fiancee is gonna cover about 400 of that for her stuff, so not TOO bad. I also did get an additional Master edition for Zelda and an additional switch so, if no one I know in the friend circle wants them i'll see if I can flip them to cover the bleeding.

About $430 if I were to buy in the US pre-tax, but that climbs to $515 USD living in Australia.
This is assuming I don't cancel my pre-order.

Nothing.
First Nintendo console I won't have bought day one since the SNES. But...it's region free, so I will get one at some point.

A crazy amount of money.
Switch - 330
Pro Controller - 65
Extra Joy-Cons - 75
Charging grip - 30
128 GB SD card - 50
USB C Powerbank - 35
Case - 20
Games
Zelda: BotW LE 90
Snipperclips 20
Fast RMX 20
Amiibos
Zelda BotW Amiibo, around 60
Most of the stuff is not really necessary but I'm buying it anyway since I will need it one day and figured I better get it sooner rather than later. The Joy-Cons are mostly for when Mario Kart hits, we really need to get four players off then. I'm just thirsty for new hardware and have been saving a bit for the past two years so I have this big pile of gaming cash that needs to get spent soon, so I don't mind going all out.

*3 docks. My friend is buying the tablet and a set of blue+red joycon so he gets a neon Switch for $280 .. not too bad
And it's a bit pricey but I decided I don't care about the amiibo for now. Can always grab those later.
The third dock will probably stay in my bag with and hdmi cable so I'm ready to go. I'm constantly surrounded by huge powered off TVs, gonna bring a foldy stool around and just plop down and play Zelda on them.

Switch(black), Zelda and MK8D.
Screen Protector, Face cover, Protector Case and Pro controller.
Like around $550...Shit.
Gonna have trade a lot of stuff, probably gonna cost me $400 if I trade all my 3DS stuff.
What's crazy is that I have another 7 game preorder for Q1 at about $185 at BB T_T

So far:
$299.99 on the system
$129.99 for The Legend of Zelda Master Edition
~$70 for all the Zelda amiibo
Waiting on a few more details:
What's Bomberman's MSRP? Konami says it's not full price.
Is SnipperClips and FAST Racig launch? I'll get those if so.
Can I find the Pro Controller?
$500-$650

Console (399 here in Canada)
Zelda (79.99 here in Canada)
Bomberman (??? here in Canada)
Case/Accessories (29.99 likely)
That's it for now. Next purchase after that will likely be another set of Joycons and a grip (why get a Pro controller when you can get two in one?) for when Mario Kart 8 comes out.

Day one. Probably the following.
Console: $400
Zelda (Normal): Insert Price Here
Bomberman (If it is good): Insert Price Here
Maybe some digital games depending on what is available: Variable
I will probably keep my eye out for a good micro SD card deal and pick that up whenever.
