Best shot may be someone in the B.S.T. Thread willing to change shipping address on their shipping order. Maybe.

I pre-ordered a set of blue/red JoyCons on Amazon the day they started taking orders. Now, if I check the order, it shows up as a blue/blue set of JoyCons. My cousin, who ordered the same blue/red set now sees his order as a red/red set. If it was just one of us, I would assume it was user error. But for both orders to be different, seems a little messed up.
Anyone else seeing a different item compared to what they ordered on Amazon?

Hey guys, I used my dad's BB account to preorder all my Switch stuff since he's a GCU member. I have my Switch preorder set to be picked up under my name, however I forgot to change the pickup name to mine on my BotW Special Edition preorder. Do you think they'll give me a hard time when I go to pick everything up, or should I change it? If I should, then my question becomes: will changing the pickup name fuck up my preorder? If no one has an answer, that's fine; I'll just give their CS a ring.
In regards to Best Buy, yes, there will be walk-ins. They have a policy where if something appears in their Sunday ad, they must have it available for purchase to people who walk in the door.
When a new system releases, like Switch, their ad will have a picture of the console, the release date, the price, and fine print on the page that says something like "MINIMUM (x) UNITS ON HAND." They must have at least that many consoles for walk-ins or else you can take them to court.
Source: I was a Media Supervisor at Best Buy for 3 years.
I live in Oregon, not sure what u meant by 3/4.

So my BB isn't doing midnight release, so I figured I might as well have them ship it. If I change the order from in-store to shipped, will I lose the pre-order unit and have to wait for it to be back in stock?

I think as long as you have the option, it shouldn't affect your order.

Gamestop had bundles I believe, reasonable bundles
You can do this online very easily under the order details and click make changes. Won't mess anything up.
As long as the online system lets you change it shouldn't, but I believe people cannot change to shipping or in-store pickup at this point.
Nope too late at this point.
I get the same message when I try.
I called Best Buy, but they told me they wouldn't be able to Switch it to store pick up because they are unable to redirect the shipping address to their store for some reason.

Is that BB on the list on the website or did you call them?
I'm wondering if that BB list on their website is a final and complete one.
For those using Best Buy. You can check the stores in your state to see if they are doing a Midnight Release. Sadly my state only has two stores that are doing it. Luckily the one I ordered from was 25 minutes away.
At this point it is probably too late. Shipments are making their way across distribution chains etc.

When these major retailers open up these orders, some times the image and product number might not show up immediately for everyone. Especially if they get one product with several different colors variants.
A phone call to Amazon's CS support would probably clear up this issue. Since pre-order emails only show the Order # and not the ASIN, it can be tricky to tell if it was an error in mis clicks or an error on their end.

Is there any way to tell online which Gamestops will be doing a midnight release?

You guys think Bomberman is gonna be worth $50? Really wish we could get some reviews for these launch titles.

Nah, but I think it's worth the post-GCU price of $40.

He was giving you good advice. Don't need to be a jerk about it.

What would you get out of taking them to court? It seems like it would be pretty embarrassing to stand in a courtroom waving a Sunday circular and crying about how you couldn't buy your new toy because they were sold out.
people have sued for less
Nah, actually, he was being a jerk and pointing out really obvious shit - of course we know we can call the company. It's just not that strange of a thought that somebody on here might have tried to do this before us and could provide an answer on here quicker and easier than us calling in to Best Buy's customer service.

Is there any car accessory like the one in the first promo vid to mount the switch to a head rest?

Hope so. Really eager to see if there's gonna be anything but Zelda I'm picking up at launch. I think I am Setsuna would be cool on a Nintendo console (for me as I have very nostalgic memories of Square-Enix games on SNES) but even that's hard to justify since I have it on PS4 (and with trophies).

From what I've seen/heard, hell no. Maybe 19.99$
Wait for it to drop in price would be my suggestion, but obviously up to you

Just got a SanDisk 128gb card from Amazon warehouse deals for 32 buck s, great deal. That will be more than enough for me, since I will be buying more physical games, and only buy digital on eShop exclusives .
They have one left for 33 bucks shipped.

Less if you watch for deals and promos. I got a switch pro controller pre-ordered for about $53.
Got my email as well
But I get to personally pick up my neons in store the grays are from the website
So fucking excited!!!!

Yeah I'm just wondering if the hard copy will be harder to find later. I really dig the case at least.

Is there a way you can tell? None of the calendars go past the 28th and I checked several stores in the Seattle, WA area and didn't see any mentions of Switch launch on their store specific pages.

I don't think I'll need a large memory card for the Switch considering I'll be going mostly physical.

How'd you order a Pro controller from Amazon? Aren't they out of stock?surejan.gif
Oh my bad, he meant Pro. I thought he was correcting my regular L,R price.
Why is the Pro $70? Hi def rumble?

My thoughts exactly, I would settle with a 64gb for 17 buckS, but got this deal on the 128gb for $32 and decided to pull the trigger
You should see a drop down to select state and see a list of stores doing midnight opening from the link he gave.
Pro has all the joycon tech in it
