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.

Buying one for myself and 2 more for family.

Joined the que right away with Walmart JUST NOW got the waitlist for the bundle checked out (with a 4 year warranty with ADP) and everything went smoothly.

Target had it added in my cart, tried to check out numerous times kept getting an error on placing an order.

Best buy just having the spinny wheel (don't leave we have you in line)
BestBuy just took me to the page to buy, buying now...and bought!

Wasn't going to order but had $60 gift card from Christmas and a $10 one today for Pre-ordering Expedition 33. Waited in line just for fun at Best Buy. Was able to snag the standard edition.

Figured that if they cancel on a big release they have always given a gift card or something out so figured it was worth it even if they cancel.

Waited in line then asked to send me a text with a code to verify account and once verified gave 10 minutes to check out. Was painless with no glitches. I use Brave as my web browser.

Got the Mario kart bundle from BB. Don't really need it at launch, but can't imagine it's gonna get any cheaper due to tariffs etc. And don't want a repeat of 2020 (Xbox / PS5 hard to get for like 2 years)
Zero chance Amazon won't have preorders. Someone always scrapes the link early before it's on the front page. Got multiple ps5s on launch day that way.

Wow, after checkout failed at Target, stuck in the Best Buy line with no sign of movement, I go to Walmart (on the app) and they're just sitting there available

Because of this post, I tried the app and that worked for me!

Walmart says I'm a robot after waiting in 'line' forever. The line popped up to let me purchase but it kept saying it was sold out when I tried checking out. Then after trying a few times it kept sending me to the Robot Check, but it wouldn't work (I'm on Firefox fwiw). Tried it on the app and I can add it to cart, but then it says sold out when I check out.

BB line hasn't moved in about 40 minutes for me.
Target just says sold out now. May be time for me to go to bed. I've survived my whole life without the Switch 2 . . . I can probably survive a bit longer.

I was able to get one through on Target just after 9pm but it immediately showed as canceled after I got the "Thanks for your order" page. I got an email about it cancelling at 9:09pm. But then at 9:24pm I got a confirmation email for the same order number. What does this mean???

Didn't even try hard and got one at bestbuy,target, and two at walmart. Can always cancel later.

There were three of us trying on multiple accounts for all those sites tonight and none of us got them. One got into Walmart and the site gave him an error each time he tried before the 10 minute timer ran out.
