I definitely remember some fatal launch shenanigans when the ps3 launched. People shooting other people to cop their launch shit.

I'm actually happy Amazon hasn't shipped mine yet. Seen this with my last two orders, and it likely means they're shipping it with their Uber service, which means like 8am for me. Hype.

South Floridian here, still have a not yet shipped status. I feel like I'm close to a distribution center, so maybe sometime tomorrow.

I actually have, and post processing doesn't really take that long anymore. Between the time I made my first reply, and now, PP should have been done by now, and its still showing up only as 240p.
Edit: And judging from the comments, the video has been up at least 4 hours...PP definitely doesn't take that long.
Well, I can't speak to that, but my personal experience with the few midnight launches I've been to in Canada have been very positive. It was just a bunch of nerds in a lineup.
No problem. Lots of us are anxious to finally play the Switch and Zelda. It's been way overdue.
Orlando checking in. Still sitting at "Not yet shipped"
Jeez, I'm glad I preordered my Switch through gamestop. Amazon only just now updated my preorder for 1 2 Switch to preparing for shipping and is now saying it's not coming until tuesday.
So much for either the release day shipping or two day shipping I should be getting from Prime.

Wait, you ended up with both the Switch and BotW in a single order?

Then you're right about the quality.
RIP.
Amazon combines several times from different orders if they ship at the same time to save on packaging/cost.

Grey switch from amazon, nothing changed so far, showing arriving friday.
Grey switch from best buy, preparing like it's been since Sunday
Same for my zelda, guardian and archer amiibos
I know I shouldn't be anxious but I remember this exact scenario during the ps4 and xbox one launches, where amazon specifically waited until the day before to ship them, and there were a handful of gaffes who ended up sol until Monday
It doesn't help that I'm 5 minutes from an amazon warehouse and 75% of the stuff I order ships from there, only to go to nashville, then lexington, louisville before landing on a delivery truck

Yes, I got a shipping notification from Amazon at 5:30pm.

I've been a prime member for over five years now.
The vast majority of my orders ship from East Point, GA and it almost always takes two days for the order to arrive at my house. Just recently, PSVR and The Last Guardian CE both shipped two days before release date and arrived by 8PM on release day. My Switch order has an estimated shipping date of March 1st, with an estimate arrival of March 3rd by 8PM. We are now in the last hour of the first of March, and my card has yet to be even charged for the Switch, much less it shipping out today.
So yes, there is still a strong possibility that I am overacting to think my Switch order won't arrive on time, but something funky is definitely up. That's why I contacted Amazon, and why my fears were somewhat alleviated when the Amazon rep told me it would be shipping from a fulfillment center of a greater distance sometime tomorrow (East Point, GA is supposedly not carrying the Switch at this time) and would be upgraded to one-day shipping.
Yep. Honestly Midnight launches are a fantastic opportunity for criminally inclined. My Local Walmart is in a more well to do area and even they had Police Escorts at prior launches. You get your order and the police would walk you to your car.

What the hell
Oh jeez. Come on Amazon don't let me down. Are you a prime member by any chance?
My gf is coming with me. Should be fun. She used to ride horses when she was younger so she's totally excited about that aspect of the game.

Just my Zelda master edition
System still says it'll ship today lol
29 minutes until Thursday
Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!
"Allegedly"
Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.
You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM
Also:
You worried about someone jacking you for your Switch? Or your girl being left alone? lol
My mom was offered a security escort when she got me a PS3 for Christmas in 2005.
They were practically impossible to get around here, and she had to bribe the GameStop employee with concert tickets to hold one for her as soon as one came in.GodfatherX

Whoa people that were showing the 3rd got bumped to next week?
Still says arriving Friday so lets hope.

Oh shit, I just checked and mine changed to "preparing for shipment", plus my card was charged! I'm a Georgian but I was told my order was shipping from a different fulfillment center so it must be the Florida location.
HYPE!

I haven't gotten a shipping confirm number but 2 hours ago my Zelda ME/Switch went from "gathering" to charging my card and changing to " we have your order and preparing to ship". TN.

Yeah... but they don't love me that much. They cancelled my Zelda Master Edition last week.

I only preordered Zelda, but my order showed it as arriving Friday right up until it actually shipped. Since then, it was pushed to a Monday delivery from Phoenix AZ. I live in TN...No notification until the text stating it had shipped.
Prime member and had the order in shortly after the presentation.

She got a PS3 a year early? Shit, she needed that security escort!
The virgins might sway the gf with the wonderful musk of not being outside for months.
Very cool. Hype building to overcharge status.
Could be a positive - I took a gf once to a midnight deal and she got a glimpse of how much deeper my obsession could be.
