400 american dollars
$300 for the system, +tax, maybe shipping -- system is selling for $400 at the highest -- minus ebay fees, minus paypal fees, minus shipping fees = $0 profit.
Just return it.

Dammit Gamestop, where's my email?!?! UPS MyChoice alerted me of tracking but the official Gamestop email would put my mind at ease so I can put my phone down and get some damned housework done already!

Same here. A Master Edition order and a Pro Controller order, both sitting in Open. I know GS only has two statuses, Open and Closed, so we just gotta wait.

Zelda and pro controller just shipped from BB. No delivery estimate as of yet, but I suppose it could still make it by tomorrow if they used overnight shipping.

Amazon shipped my pro controller for tomorrow with everything else, I wonder why they had Monday before and changed it.
I bet they lost some sales with that shit I was tempted to get my pro from someone else just to have it day 1

As a longtime Amazon customer, that's just weird to me .
So the tracking status for my Zelda SE has been in "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" since early yesterday. It STILL hasn't updated or even arrived at a UPS facility yet.
Normally I don't freak out over these things but given my excitement for this game I'm a little worried. Seems jarring that it would take so long between the shipping label being created and the game arriving at one of the facilities which would then need to be shipped to one of the local offices. Looks like I might not be getting this on release day after all.

I had two orders, one through BB w/Zelda, and one just a Switch from Amazon. BB is not doing a midnight after telling me last week they were, and the pick-up store is a good 40 minutes from me, so I'm just going to get the Amazon order tomorrow, buy Zelda digital and go pick up the BB order next week. I'll get a refund on the Zelda.

Amazon shipped all 5 Amiibo, Zelda, and the Switch (Gray) and they are arriving tomorrow.
Best Buy already has my Pro Controller and Switch (Gray) so I'll be picking those up tomorrow.
Wal-Mart is still processing the special edition of Zelda but it says it'll be available on Monday.

It took a while for the pro controller to be approved for sale in the United States by the FCC, so Amazon probably got their stock in pretty late. The date was probably just a precaution so they didn't over promise.

Anybody know if the Switch comes with plastic over the screen? My switch is coming today, but the screen protector and Zelda won't show up until tomorrow and I want to minimize the chance I get dust on the screen before applying the protector.

My Special Edition Zelda just shipped from Gamestop. For delivery tomorrow.
Literally the day before, and late in the day too. See: nothing to worry about, people.

I must be jinxed in some way because a few minutes after posting, my phone goes off to let me know Gamestop emailed my shipping confirmation! Lol

Only thing I worry about is that I live in a more remote area and one-day delivery doesn't always work/get here next day. Especially with this weekend coming up, I don't have Saturday delivery.

Just received shipping notification for Neon Switch and Special Edition Zelda from BB. Labels only and waiting for UPS pickup for delivery to SoCal.

Best Buy marked the console as shipped. Hopefully it finds its way by tomorrow night.
Good luck fellow Preparing Purgatory friends.

So amazon showing as still shipping today, for my screen protector, switch and zelda, is still gonna be to me by tomorrow, that's incredible. It's currently 445 PM EST, saying it'l be to me tomorrow before 8PM EST.
Don't think there's any reason to contact Amazon and make sure?

This happens for every major item and people get in a panic as much as a week before release.
What's funny is when you think about it, it's weird how people will freak out over a preorder which a company will have plenty of time to plan and organize all those shipments well in advance for things to go smoothly, but nobody sweats about placing an order for an in stock item which is unplanned on the businesses end and just one of thousands of orders being fulfilled that day, and worrying if that will ship out or arrive on time.
Logically, the impromptu order should have more risk than the preorder, but people reverse which one they freak out over.
Same.

Hopefully I get notification soon too. Pro controller shipped an hour ago but the switch (neon) is still preparing.
I am in SoCal as well.

Phew.... I can finally breathe easy. At almost 5pm EST Best Buy finally shipped my Switch with FedEx overnight shipping. They really cut it close! Should have the whole ensemble by the end of the day tomorrow.

The reason I've been worried about my Best Buy pre-order is because my New 3DS XL pre-order back in 2015 arrived from them three days late. However, I think that may have been an issue with Nintendo shipping the units to BB late, so I'm hoping I actually get the Switch tomorrow.

Ok so target's site says that today at 1:42 PM my package departed for the ups location from York PA. I live in Cleveland Ohio. UPS says it expects arrival for march 7th. How does this make sense? Is there any chance of me getting it tomorrow?

Everything I preordered for in-store pickup at Best Buy has been confirmed...
- Pro Controller
- 1-2-Switch
- Super Bomberman-R
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Special Edition
- All Five BOWT Amiibo
Also got a call and confirmation from my reservation GameStop that my Switch will be available for pickup. They did tell me explicitly that I have until Sunday to pick it up, but no mention of NEEDING to buy a game with it.
For more anecdotal info, I was told by a friend that the Best Buy is getting 150 Switch consoles above and beyond preorders, roughly 100 gray and 50 neon. If I can get one there instead (they're handing out tickets), I might just do that and cancel my GS preorder tomorrow.
Either way, tonight's gon' be gud!
