How does the screen on the Switch 2 compare to the OLED? I know it's a bit larger, but how does the image hold up?
Personally I like it better. The Switch's OLED has a weird chromatic aberration effect to me, but 99 out of 100 times I'd picked OLED over anything else.

Will I receive $75 + 150 GC at the store or wait for some gift card in the mail to purchase later?

It's literally the fastest selling game machine in the history of games.
Because they made them readily available. I like the S2, but they were able to produce enough plus to meet demand.

I rather just emulate my Switch 1 titles and play them in 4K on my beefy gaming PC.

Does this need to be purchased online first before going in-store for a trade-in? Trying to figure out if we can do both trade-in and purchase in-person rather than wait 7-15 days per checkout page. Please feel free to clarify if I missed something here.

How did the entire process go? Did you purchase the S2 online and then head straight to the store for the trade-in portion?

So am I reading the terms right that if my wife and I each traded in a switch, we could not then use the coupon obtained from each to go towards a switch 2 purchase? But trade in credit would be via gift card and that could be combined? Looks like only one coupon allowed per transaction.
Trying to see if we could swap out two older switches for one switch 2 as cheap as possible.

That's only if you had the original first wave switch correct? They fixed that exploit for the later models. If that's the one you have I would definitely keep it. Totally forgot about that.

I have a switch OLED and a lite that I would trade in if I could. I need a new joycon case as one of them are cracked that's the only issue.

I just did the trade in an hour ago so I can explain how my experience was at least, and I'm hoping someone can share some insight on what happened.

Basically, I bought the console and trade in online with in-store pick up option. I got my email confirmation showing that the $75 trade in and $75 promotional credit has been accepted for a total of $150. I brought my console and all of the needed items to do the trade in and the best buy work confirmed everything looked good. At the end of the trade in, she mentioned that I will be getting $75 for my trade in, which should not be the case. I told her there was an additional $75 promotional credit that I received for doing the trade in online so I should be receiving $150 total. I even showed her the email receipt showing the two $75 trade in credits (also showed her through the app as well). After looking around a bit, she called her manager over, who then proceeds to tell me that they can not see online promotional offers on their end, which is why it's not showing in their system. But he said that if I did it online and I got the email, I should be getting both $75 trade in credit once everything is finalized.

This is my first time doing a trade in with best buy so not sure if this is the norm? Can anyone else share their experience who just did the trade in for this promotion specifically? I'm wondering if I got scammed from best buy and just traded my switch for $75...

I have a crashed OS in my switch OLED, do you know how this will impact the value they give? Otherwise it is in perfect condition with very little use.

I have that black and white OLED one (Switch 1) should I trade it for the Switch 2. I like the black and white pallet color and the picture is great.
