other than it being just a good price point what makes it desperation?
Click to expand...

Regardless of desperation or not, if it is $299 or higher and without a game, Switch is in trouble.

I don't care if the specs are a real portable Xbox one S. If PS4 Pro is $299 by E3 and Scorpio is coming out. Nintendo could be in since trouble. Trying to go toe to toe.

If you want to remain spoiler-free, don't come to GAF or other gaming sites until you watch the presentation.
Click to expand...

I've got the YouTube link for the presentation bookmarked, and will avoid Twitter, Facebook and most of all NeoGAF until I watch the presentation. All I need to do on the day is to open the browser, click on the link trying to avoid looking at the bar of videos on the right on the YouTube page.

It shouldn't be very hard to avoid spoilers. Specially because I'll watch the presentation around 5 hours later the original time.

I'm surprised that so many people are now buying into these prices at Target and Wal-mart. We have a large number of rumors, insiders, and other retailers that all seem to confirm $249 as the default price. These two examples are definitely anomalies.

Also the rumours were quite specific

$250 32GB Basic
$300 64GB and Splatoon

Why would you need a whole thread for that?

He asked how that thread would look. It would look like that.

I already bookmarked that link, but thanks anyway.

I remember seeing a combination of information for the first one you listed, but not the second. I've only seen LKD mention a Splatoon bundle but she only had one source and didn't mention the exact memory size. She also mentioned that neither Emily Rogers or Tom from Eurogamer had heard the same.

I'm just imagining a thread with a single post that links directly to the full presentation archive. Mods would immediately lock it and anyone interested would just leave their browser open to just that page. Just seems like the opposite of what Gaf is about...

I'd buy that. Low on story, high on clues everywhere to tie the story together yourself.
Just you on a desolated planet. Some area's very low on enemies but tactical, other area's more intense action like armored core.

I tell you what, as I'm watching the event live, ping me a PM and I'll reply with a direct link to it once it's finished.

Don't forget the best one of all: The Switch doesn't actually make the clicking sound from the reveal trailer!

One problem is that if you go to the Gaming forum to click on the spoiler-free thread, the first thing you'll see area ll the other threads on the page that list every spoiler!

But you know? I think somebody should make a spoiler-free thread and update it in real time as the presentation goes on. That could actually be pretty fun. "Reggie just came on stage. They're talking about sales expectations... and there's a game trailer. It's for a game, but I can't say whether it's an old or new IP."

*Trailer cold opens with a starry sky*

*Fade to black* "Nintendo presents"

*Camera pans down to reveal the interior of a cavern, with an egg embedded in in ground. Ominous music begins*

*Fade to black again* "Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki"

*A Metroid bursts open from the egg with its distinctive cry*

*Fade to black for the final time. FROM Software's logo appears as the ominous music builds*

*The Metroid is hovering in front of us. From off-screen, a freezing blast, followed by a missile annihilates the hatching.*

*Camera cuts to Samus in her classic Varia Suit. Her theme from Super Metroid starts building*

*Camera slowly pans around Samus while the sound of several eggs cracking is heard. A camera 180 completed, Samus is cornered by a number of hatchings. She charges her arm cannon as her theme crescendos.*

*Cut to black*

"METROID DREAD"

"LATE 2017"

As far as that Walmart price goes, I work in retail and I just fabricated this in about 2 minutes. I'm almost 100% that the price will not be 399.99 rofl.
