Wrap it up. Can't wait for the Switch to fail so that Nintendo can make all their games on the PS4 and Xbox One and the PC and PSP Vita. I love Nintendo's games and for some reason that means I hope they fail.

He'd consumed a pre-order slot. I don't know if that required a deposit of some kind, but even if it didn't the slot still has value and he was still putting time and faith in the slot as a product. Failing to guarantee that slot or give him a grace period if the order encounters an issue is a problem on their end, and reflects badly on them as a company. Probably impacting future sales, even if only marginally.

I did it as well, mostly because that's how I've always pre-ordered consoles, and because there was a store in town and I happened to be passing it so why not. I never even considered doing it online honestly, and it wasn't until I saw people talking about it that I even thought it must be an option and there's no reason it wouldn't be. I don't live in the US though, or even a prominent city of my own nation, so I'm pretty sure there'll be no issue with my pre-order, since I can't see there being enough sales in my little town for there to be a problem. I'm gonna drop in on Monday and see if they think they'll have any pro-controllers launch day. And possibly see if I can bag a neon Switch, since I never thought about color when placing my pre-order weeks ago. I probably can't, but most people probably didn't consider color when doing it either, so I have a little sliver of hope.

Just let it shine through
It was great preordering a PS4 and then it showing up at my door on release day, so easy. Hope it works as well for the Switch.

Sony was even cool enough to let accesories and games go on sale a week or two early, so I already had all that ahead of time.

I mean, I live in a city of about 50,000 people absolutely covered with Gamestops (there's one in the mall on the other side of the highway from the one I ordered mine in, for starters) and yet at noon the day after preorders were announced, I got the last neon Switch. Meanwhile a friend of mine who lives in a semi-major German city preordered one today and said that the cashier seemed baffled by the idea.

I don't know if it's a difference in demand or that NOE allotted more systems than NOA did per store or what, but it's pretty different. It seems American availability is much lower and if you want one on launch in NA, you need to go to a Gamestop at midnight or a Toys R Us in the early morning.

Amazon UK is still taking pre orders. Are they just going to go on a waiting list or do they actually have day one stock?

so what I'm gathering is that Walmart only took preorders for the Grey Switches, and brickseek is showing they have red and blue ones in stock

I think I'll go to walmart and try to get one at release night, the one near me has 13 of the red and blue in stock and if they didnt take preorders for them presumably they are walkin

Y'all should really be talking more about the fact that Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is a timed exclusive for the Switch at launch. Shovel Knight is rad and the newest campaign looks rad: https://youtu.be/BRwP0P5j05g

Zelda + RMX + Clips + Specter on launch day for me.

Has anybody ever had a console shipped to them on release date by Best Buy before? I have mine pre ordered and I can't do midnight pick-up. It says delivery date 3/2/2017, wondering if I should be optimistic or prepare to be disappointed.

I have no idea either and I'm waiting for them to gently caress it up.

They were the best place to get the GearVR, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Touch controllers on release day, for what it's worth, and that was the most recent electronics launch thing I paid attention to recently. I ordered mine from them for their midnight opening and I'm hopeful.
