I'm still trying to get an order in, but instead of getting the error of "Out of Stock", it now says "We're having trouble with your request / Please wait a moment and then try again". Hm.
I sat there clicking the Preorder button and getting that message for 20-30 minutes before it finally added one to my cart. Don't give up.
Looks like a great deal, got one in my cart, but it says "OUT OF STOCK" when trying to pay for it.
Keep trying! Mine finally let me check out after about 30 minutes. Also had to verify the transaction wasn't fraud through my bank but that's unrelated lol
It will tell you it's too busy or if you actually make it to the checkout it will say it's out of stock, but keep trying and you'll eventually get an order through.
TY so much for this comment. It said it was sold out when I tried to buy the first time, so I came back here to comment that it wasn't available anymore. Saw this comment, tried again, and now I've got one pre-ordered! Hopefully it's not a system glitch and I'll actually get one, ty again!
EDIT: I got an email saying my order was cancelled because they oversold and it was out of stock, so it was just a system glitch after all unfortunately.

It is added to my cart ~ I just can't check out.
I have discovered that if you start getting "We're having trouble with your request / Please wait a moment and then try again", you're functionally blocked by Walmart.
Likely, it wanted to do some validation, but something fails and they end up blocking you. This can be resolved removing and adding your phone number again to force another validation. Just FYI for those still doing this.
I'm still trying, lol. But a bit slower to avoid the validation issue.
I wonder how many units limited Edition made? 50,000 Units? 100,000 units? I hold off for Costco Gift Card deal and purchase on E-shop minimize saving
Unless Nintendo has explicitly stated how many, IMO, it's infinite till Nintendo thinks it is no longer worth it. This is a pretty common Nintendo release tactic ~ limited initial wave to get up hype and fan the flames of FOMO.
Do you remember the Animal Crossing edition? Sold out for almost a year, then it was readily available and eventually discounted, lol.

I got my animal crossing edition from playasia as a korean boxed version. I was as happy as a clam!
So this is why they've been clearancing previous Switch models.
There is also now an EU variant where it has user replaceable batteries. I imagine at some point, it's going to switch over for everyone and they'll want to clear out the older SKUs.

I genuinely don't remember the last time a physical game was included with a special edition Nintendo console. During this past summer for the basic version of the console they included the choice between three digital games. They know if you're buying it as a fan, you're going to buy the matching game, too. So why discount / bundle it? It's more effort for them and as we can see, they still have no trouble selling out. When people pay hand over fist, companies like Nintendo have exactly zero incentive to go back to the old days where a game, physical or otherwise, is bundled with the special edition of the console.
Has to be the 3DS
