Reading is fundamental.

No, the listing comes up as the bundle.

However, the OP also included a link to just the console if one doesn't want the bundle. As I said, reading is fundamental.

FOMO is crap. This console has a limited amount of games, and is not attractively priced. Nothing makes me want this console right now. I would put this money towards a steam deck or another handheld PC. Way better catalog of games and backwards compatibility.
It is also brand new. Games will come. The N64 in 1996 only had 2 games for about the first 6 weeks.

Nintendo was the last bastion of decent game makers, that's gone now. Also, they are paving the way for even more predatory practices. I can't support it anymore.

At least Mario 64 was one of the best single player games of the generation though. Even BoTW at Switch launch (which I did not enjoy personally) was highly regarded as one of the best games of the decade by many.

Requested invite on one Amazon account, nothing for 3-4 days. Requested on my secondary account, got an invite the next morning. Title of email is "Congrats, you're invited!" Good luck, all!
Yeah, it is definitely a lottery, and not a queue....

Quote from gatormarc :
Gamestop was giving some good trade in deals just prior to the release. Not sure if they still are.Nintendo would rather have the Switch 1 out in the wild as they are still actively developing and selling games for it.
Gamestop's deal prior to Switch 2 release were horrendous. They decreased the prices of all console trade ins so that you received $30-40 less per console than before their "new console trade in promo"

Gamestop knows they dont have to offer any deal for trade in thats why they were offering $65 for a Switch 1 a month ago and Mario World costs $80

I saw several Switch 2s locked in the cabinet at my closest Target near Philadelphia a week ago. Also this isn't a sale price.

Not to be that guy but.......SDHC/XC cards are supported to be used for storing, transferring, or viewing/watching photos and videos on the Switch 2. Just not for games or related data.
... it literally says in the post only SD express compatible

FYI if you do get an invite, you're not time limited like the email implies. I've had the bundle in my cart for days and can still checkout.

Bummed they didnt use a better chipset, and they underclocked the cpu to 40%. For comparison, an RPi5 uses the A76 at full clock, the switch 2 uses A78. Theoretically, I could pull better performance from a 60$ pi if the underclock is as bad as it seems. Somewhat apples/oranges since the switch also has a gpu, but still, using an 5 yr old chipset seems kinda lame..
