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.

I, personally, don't see the point in rushing out to get a system that barely has any games for it. And, the games it has cost $80 each. I'd rather vote no with my wallet.

But thanks for sharing this offer, because it's a real chore to find the system so far.

How were you selected twice? Amazon has some weird algorithm…
I don't know, but I didn't buy when selected and i put in again and was invited again i think the same day. I guess I will put in again just in case I decide to do it. Maybe they prioritize people they already selected who ddint buy it They give less than 1 day to even go through with it. the first time I didn't even notice the email in time.

It's a shame a used switch v1 gets barely any money on ebay whereas ps5 still gets several hundred. I'd for sure sell the switch and get the 2 if I could get say $200-250 for it. But it goes for like $100. lol.

I didn't realize ppl who buy Nintendo pixel peep like PC enthusiasts. edit: I want to remind everybody that Nintendo is all about having fun while gaming, not setting benchmarks. if you had fun playing videogames without knowing what vrr was, you can do it again. don't choose to not have fun because of something you won't even miss after 5 mins of looking for it. I got the switch 2 to play my switch 1 games at a higher fps and less input lag. working out great
yes that all applies when ninento consoles were 300 and below, with 500 price we expect more.

I signed up for both to increase my chances, but, for me, the bundle version with the digital key for MKW is just $50 additional dollars down the drain vs the console itself.
Because Mario kart is worth exactly…. $0 to you?

How much more? $30 more? Because you have that option!

I bought one about a week after launch at Target just to see what the hype was about. Returned it yesterday. Mario Kart World is honestly not good compared to MK8. The battery life is poor. I'm not going to keep a $500 system around just to play Donkey Kong.I dunno, maybe I just outgrew Nintendo.
Maybe there will be additional games released for it.

Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are probably enough for most people, I'd think.

Love ours. Wish there were more new games. I do like that we can use all our old Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers to play 4 players without having to purchase additional controllers at this time. Worth $450 or $500? No, but I like to be an early adopter.
"Worth $450 or $500? No, but I like to be an early adopter."
It's less expensive than the original Switch adjusted for inflation and the components are superior.

A significant number of people are replaying the updated versions of BotW and TotK as well.
