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.

Walmart is asking if I'm a Robot or Human after clicking on Pre-order and now their Captcha system isn't even loading.

Target total fail for 45min.
Best buy still in the line.
Walmart finally pulled through! Got a bundle. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.
Thanks for all the updates.

Target was a mess; but sitting in Walmart line seems to have paid off as an order went through for the bundle. We'll see what happens in the morning, and later, but I'm still not giving up hope for the offer from Nintendo as well.

Quote from nicemann :
Glad I kept refreshing Walmart's page. Got into line about a minute before launch. Had a 5 minute wait time and no issues checking out for the bundle console. On the other hand, also had Target ready. Was able to add to cart and that's as far as I got. Guess with lots of people getting cancellations, glad I completed my Walmart order.
Yeah it's sad that people getting cancellation emails for Target. Best Buy went smoothly, no cancellations and there wasn't any lag for me when checking out. The Mario Kart bundle checkout was faster for me. Definitely not as popular as just the switch console.

eBay should just ban reselling certain products within a period of time before and after release.
So ban Capitalism?

I had Target and Walmart up. Surprisingly after 200 failed attempts to order at Target the Walmart line actually moved and I was able to order. I am so excited to play Mario Kart with my kids!

Quote from ashirian :
I know yall are hyped up but think about this... in about a year or so, they'll release a special edition. Maybe OLED screen, maybe Pokémon Edition, or maybe a Zelda edition. Then instantly regret your boring old LCD screen Switch2. I'm staying put until there's an OLED Pokémon or zelda edition comes out. Not gonna repeat my Switch 1 mistake and buying like 3 switches.
Nintendo opted for the LCD bc it was more cost-effective according to various media outlets and also due to the fact that the technology has vastly improved now.
