This might be the dumbest thing I've ever wanted advice on, but I bought a Switch for $300 straight up. I've been dying to play Zelda, but I also see this damned thing is selling for $420+ online and I'm totally debating selling it and picking it up later when they're widely available, but who knows when that will be. Are people really paying $140ish over the retail price for these? I'm always wary selling expensive things on eBay. But, good, portable Zelda....

eBay charges a ten percent fee straight up($42 in your example), there's also PayPal fees, and shipping a box that size comfortably is around $30, you're not actually making that much money and it's a big waste of time for something you already want to play and use and will have trouble finding again without you yourself paying that markup in the future.

I thought any accounts on a system are linked in some way to promote shared purchases. I remember something about them being unlinked when you deactivate a system/account pairing. Or something.

as long as you keep your JP/NA/EU accounts linked to your switch (all at once is possible with multiple users) any user on that system can access any games of every other user. but the purchase doesn't transfer from the original account to the other accounts.

eg. myAccount-EU, myAccount-JP, wifesAccount-EU linked to the same Switch#1. if you buy Disgea on myAccount-JP, all 3 accounts on that switch can play the game. If you link myAccount-JP to another switch#2, no one on switch#1 can access Disgea anymore, unless you link myAccount-JP to switch#1 again.

Can you not buy it digitally? Cause its stupid easy to make a jpn account. You dont need a fake address or anything, it just asks you want country do you want this to be from? Just a throw away email for a new account is all you need. Seen a few people in here go round about to import a cart. But the digital is so nice.

I could've, yeah, but I very much want to collect Switch games and I've semi-swore off digital games on Nintendo consoles. Even now, if anything happens to my Switch, I'm screwed even with a physical copy. In the past, I've had one game that I've actually played digitally and ended up losing the entire save and never being able to recover it.

For 200 you can get a dock, a grip, and some joycon. The switch itself is apparently only worth about a hundred.

At one point I had over a thousand invested- I've bought three Switches, two Zeldas, snipperclips and an amiibo.

I've since returned a bad switch, had hhgregg implode my other order and returned my non special edition Zelda.

It was all worth it

Now that is someone who has purchased some things on SAmart before.

Just played a bit of Binding of Isaac on my Vita (have had it since it was free on PS+). Won't be buying it on the Switch, not only because I already have it, but just isn't my thing.

I asked earlier but will I own the NA version when it comes out?
If all you're concerned about is playing it using your NA account, if you buy it from the Japan eShop, you can play it with any account on the system. So you and your wife can have separate accounts on the system, when you launch the game it asks which account you want to use.

My switch appears to have developed vertical light bleed lines in the left side of the screen, which run from top to bottom. They weren't there a few days ago, hasn't been used in the meantime. Visible in any dark background. WTF.

I gently lower mines until it sits nicely on the dock. Unsure how some people got grinding scratches on theirs.
