Target's confirmation email on my preorder says my card won't be charged until the item ships.

I have a $300 charge from Target.com on my card right now.

Anybody know what kind of fuckery is this? I'm on hold for their customer service department but they are slammed right now.

Can I express my gratitude in the Xbox One being completely void of exclusives? I have a PS4 and modern gaming pc so buying the Switch means I'm completely covered.

Especially since I can just plug the base in on my bed stand and don't have to have it take up an HDMI port on my TV

I got a pre-order through BB last night but went to Gamestop this morning at 10 to put $50 down just in case. Went at 10, line was through the door. Still got one but didn't expect to there to actually be a line after that trainwreck of a conference.

Preauthorization for the full amount that will drop off within a day or two, then you get actually charged on shipment.

It's something they need to go into more detail about. we're only two months out so I feel like now's the time to really talk about the OS and stuff. but knowing Nintendo they really might just leave it up to the journalists to inform people which, as we've seen in the past, is never a great idea

I'm sure the individual online games have their own lobbys and matchmaking but the companion app will be universal and let you organize and hop in whenever. but I don't really want to assume too much about the app either. I still would probably just use Discord

Actually, bundle all that together and sell it on Ebay? drat right. Kind of like what happened to the PSVR.

Obviously not all of them but I would bet 20-30% of them.

Every thing that charges a credit card ever does a pre authorization to make sure you actually have money.

Yeah they are just checking the card basically so you are fine. When I worked for an online game retailer this was the most request customer service question we got. Most people just wanted to make sure there wasn't a mistake but some literally accused us of stealing from them and that they were going to call the police which was always hilarious.

Second most frequent was angry parents that were mad because we sent them videogames they didn't order and we had to carefully explain that their kid probably got a hold of their credit card.

Wouldn't be surprised if 20% turn into an attempted flip, sure.

What in the ever living hell. It just gets worse and worse.

Or at the very least it sounds like social features are relgated to smart device? The checklist thing on the webpage makes it look like online play should function without.

But like, they can't possibly have no on Switch friends list, right? I know a lot of people have smart phones these days, but expecting people to have to pair one to the console just to go online / use a friends list seems insane. Pairing with a smart device must just be so you can play online from anywhere.
