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.

Best Buy order may have gone through after 55 minutes in queue. Got a fraud warning from chase, so hopefully it wasn't cancelled.

Guess tariffs didn't affect prices after all huh? But years of inflation sure did.

I got an order confirmation from them, and then 20 minutes later received confirmation email... Then check in my Target account and it shows the order cancelled for "technical issue"... WTF? Can't get past Walmart's "Robot" Checker and Been in both BestBuy "lines" for nearly an hour now...
good thing I got the regular one at Walmart just nin case Target cancels, hopefully not since I ended up paying 434.02 for the bundle

Got one at Walmart (smooth as butter), one at Target (broke several times, had to reload a lot, app worked, desktop didn't). Best Buy's preorder button didn't light up until 12:30 and I've been in line ever since. F--- it I'm going to bed.

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.
Dude you are so wrong. Amazon and Nintendo have had a beef going on like 13 years now. Amazon doesn't sell Nintendo consoles direct. Not since like 2011 or 2012. Any consoles sold that are Nintendo on Amazon are from random resellers.

It did. Nintendo raised the price of all their accessories to compensate and might increase the price of the Switch 2 later like Sony did with the PS5 (currently outside of the US).

Walmart only worked on the app for console. Best Buy worked after being in the queue for 30-45 min. Console only took about 20 min.

Apparently the stock is already in the US which is why tariffs haven't affected price yet.

Best Buy came through!!! Even though I got kicked out after 45 minutes!!! Re-entering queue apparently doesn't drop you to the back of the line.

Tariffs won't be long term so likely not going to see any price increase. But it's $150 more than the original switch at launch due to years of inflationary policies.
