Vote with your wallet. Buy it if you think what Nintendo is doing is okay, if this is how you want to be treated; the choice is yours.

That's fair - I'm hoping the thread is helpful though for those trying to get ahold of one and not have to pay over retail on any marketplace.

I assume the return window from Walmart is 30 days after you receive it correct? I'm still on the fence on the game pricing (seeing what other 3rd party titles sell for) if I am going to get it on launch.

Walmart still live FYI just have to click the preorder button a few times to get it in your cart. Not sure if they will get cancelled though.

Nothing lately. I am guessing the next restock will not be preorders but for the launch. It is looking more like the Switch 1 launch were best buy and other retailers had preorders initially but then had a load of consoles also for launch. I went to pick up my system at best buy midnight March 17 but also saw a line of gamers who were going to buy a Switch.
The next company who are going to take preorders looks to be Nintendo themselves as they're going to start sending out the invitation to preorder starting this week in a few days.

I registered on nintendo.com within half an hour of the direct ending, and I got my invite email 2 days ago, 6 days after the initial wave went out. I meet the priority requirements.

Also, I'm seeing costco.com listing a bundle of the console with MK and 1 year of online subscription w/ expansion pass, no price yet. Limit 1 purchase every 7 days per membership. https://www.costco.com/nintendo-s...69992.html

Got an email last night at 11:30pm Eastern from Walmart asking me to updated my payment method for my Nintendo Switch 2 order - anyone else get an email like this?

Subject was "Please update your payment method" - but when I click on Edit Payment, it doesn't allow me to change my payment method.

I paid partially using a Walmart gift card, and they already took the money off of the card when I pre-ordered. The rest was on a credit card, but under "Charge History" on the order, I don't see any charge attempts except the initial Temporary Hold on my card back on April 24th.

Am I screwed? I chatted with customer service early this morning (7am Eastern) who said that the billing department already contacted my credit card company and got the charge approved and now everything is OK. Doesn't that sound strange that they would call my credit card company and do it overnight?

The customer service rep said everything would ship out OK, I'm still wary - but not sure there is anything else I can do at this point.
