"New" as in "Not pre-owned" would be my read of it.

I’m interpreting “New” as “Actually Old” because Gamestop.

Normally you would not capitalize it then.

It's likely someone getting paid almost nothing that just made a typo and has typed in New Nintendo 3DS so many times they are just used to capitalizing it before Nintendo.

I would like to trade my used Nintendo Switch Lite to get $150 toward the purchase of a Switch Lite that normally costs $200.

I guess it's a way to get a new color for $50??

The image refers to 'Nintendo Switch v1 v2' in the trade in section, and the switch lite separately.

Or refresh your battery if it's not holding a charge as well anymore. (Ignore that it's like $30 for a replacement battery)

Now I feel like the thread is rationalizing in the other direction.

Makes sense being mad at switch pro rumors is in the foundation of the thread at this point

I put one of those SNES shell replacements on my joycons and console a few months ago and and it was a pain in the rear end so I'll just be using that console forever

If that were an actual new model Switch wouldn't the deal last longer than a week?

I've never rushed out to buy a new system immediately but i know a lot of people here traded their old switch for a red box, how long did that deal run for?

It's only a week cause that's how long new hardware last before there's a shortage.

just talked to someone in the know and that ad's just the standard wording, that deal is only for putting trade-in credit towards new items, not used ones. in case it isn't super obvious

apparently Nintendo always pays that $50 to move more product

The fine print on that one is significantly less ambiguous, it makes no loving sense as written unless it’s the actual model name.

My uncle who works at GameStop loving sucks at his job. He's 70 years old, he doesn't know anything about video games. People come in and ask questions and he just gets brought and says "I don't know anything about this poo poo. Just buy a ninja turtles shirt"

Oh wait you’re right I’m dumb and can’t read.

Wonder how many underpaid GameStop workers end up going insane and quitting and/or burning down the store because of people calling about this hilarious fuckup of an ad regardless of if it’s real or not.
