Was just about to say that. What was Gamstop thinking!

I like to think that this is the one I would have received if Nintendo had sent me an invitation to buy.

To be fair,Gamestop didn't know Nintendo's packaging division was lead by this guy:

 

[Loomy]

Biggest concern was the joycon contacts and seeing the tests here should put people's mind at ease. You'd have to go incredibly far out of your way to break them off.

That's the moron managing the gamestop. What kind of idiot uses staples to attach receipts to any brand new item?

 

[ADiTAR]

I kept waiting for more, he kept saying wait for more, and than edged me... I was not satisfied.

He is super wholesome, been around for years, married a disabled girl and build a lot of vehicles , contraptions, in house lift to make her life easier.

No, I'm not putting a screen protector onto a screen protector.

Nintendo states that the plastic film isn't a screen protector, it's just there in case the glass shatters the shards won't go everywhere

If you want a real screen protector, you need to put a real screen protector on

if it can't go thru the washing machine and still work like the original Gameboy, it fails,

 

[CrustyBritches]

A screen protector protects the screen from you. This protects you from the screen.

Do yourself a huge favor and put a $5 tempered glass protector on it.

I couldn't watch all of that, far too painful.

 

[Pimpbaa]

What's the point of a permanently attached plastic screen protector?! Especially if there is glass under it which would scratch far less easily.

 

[Robb]

I assume it's more durable than the Switch (1) screen, which scratched for me straight away just from putting it into the dock it came with…

I got a screen protector this time just in case.

Maybe the screen they cheaped out on is so fragile that they needed to put a protective layer on top of it before it even leaving the factory?

 

[LordOcidax]

Its purpose is to prevent shards of glass from scattering in the rare event the screen is damaged. Nintendo knows that the Switch 2 is going to end in the hands of kids. All the Nintendo handhelds have a plastic screen over the LCD/OLED.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Its mostly a d brand commercial ... he cuts on the switch a bit, but doesn't break it down, like he has done with phones.

God damn it lol.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Magnets are pretty cool, and I have no idea how they work.

Yes, an unfortunate amount of dbrand shilling this time, but still useful to see the scratch tests and joycon attachment stress tests.

 

[VolticArchangel]

The Joy-Con stress test looked surprisingly durable, for the amount of pressure he applied at least. Magnets seem like a good choice here.

That low grade plastic screen is an abomination, though. One of the easiest scratch magnet of a touch capacitive screen on any modern device, so far.

They'll cheap out on anything to save BoM. Classic Nintendo.

Almost turned it off when he started scratching the joycons, then the lighter came out and I realized this man is a straight up psychopath.

It was probably a joint effort between Alan the cheapskate that's managing Nintendo's packaging division and his son Jake the idiot Gamestop manager:

Watching him put the Stanley over the switch.

While I don't have a switch
