Mod chipping isn't easy it's pretty hard to do and only a tiny fraction of people do it. Nintendo isnt hurting because of the .001% of owners who mod chip. Give me a break.

Community Reviews

The Switch 2 is being framed as the better-performing Nintendo option, with smoother gameplay, better Joy-Cons, and strong docked play on big OLED TVs. The deal also stands out because it can be reserved online at select Micro Center stores, and Best Buy price matching reportedly worked in some cases. The main drawbacks are the in-store pickup restriction, the need to live near a Micro Center, and the lack of a must-have exclusive for some buyers. It feels most compelling for anyone ready to play now and focused on Nintendo exclusives.

Common Questions (5)

  • No, the listing is in-store pickup only. That makes it impractical if your nearest Micro Center is far away, even though the deal can be reserved online.

  • It is a stronger choice if you want better performance, smoother gameplay, and free upgrades for many Switch 1 games; some also note the Joy-Cons feel better. The main caveat is that the value depends on whether you want Nintendo exclusives enough to justify the console and the often expensive games.

  • The deal is tied to in-store pickup, and one shopper was denied because staff treated it as a membership offer even though it is free. Another comment says the price is only supposed to apply if you live within 25 miles of a Micro Center and chat with a rep.

    TenseRose360muchwowxD34DL1N3Rx

  • A lower price is not expected soon; one prediction puts a future Switch 2 OLED at $549 or more because of prior Nintendo pricing, tariffs, and electronics price hikes. That makes $400 look like a relatively strong current price if you want the console now.

  • Best Buy price matching can work for this deal, but it is not guaranteed. The match was reportedly honored for this Micro Center offer and a prior Mac mini deal, so it may depend on the rep and store policy.

Good price. There was a time when tariff fearmongers persuaded people to rush out to buy before a price hike. Obviously, it was an unfounded fear, and there's hardly any scarcity. Mine is collecting dust because I got bored.

How does that work? I wouldn't think they'd price match if it's a "you have to be signed in" price.

I thought the same thing but with how the US is screwing up the economy with tariffs, how much will it sell?

I stupidly want to buy it because I think we'll never see a price like this again...

I don't own any consoles at the moment. Out of curiosity, how many games do you guys think it takes to justify buying the Switch 2? I obviously wouldn't spend $400+ just to play one game. Since I don't even have Switch 1, technically even Switch 1 games would be considered "new" to me.

Yeah now that Nintendo had played that hand so many times I really don't feel like having the shitty display just to play a couple mediocre games ( DK looks fun but I'm not dying to play it )

That's a question only you can answer. Look at the top-rated games in the Switch library and see what interests you (if anything).
