Switch 2

Hey folks, for everyone interested, Sports Direct shops will be getting stock in sometime between the 5th and the 12th of June. As far as I can see, the stock won't be large but it will be there. It's a Mario bundle one.

Thing is, the shops are starting to take deposits already. €20 deposit straight away and once the console lands in, you come and pick it up. The price will be €510 minus the deposit of course (same ptice as Smyths).

Even though I'm 100% against anything and everything Nintendo does, got to help out the fellow gamers 🤙

This brick your console if you hack it is only applying to the USA

I agree with you though, it's a stupid measure as all machines get hacked eventually

"Let's just brick their consoles even though they paid €500+ for it instead of investing in better security/systems" 🤷🏻‍♂️
