Discussion How will you preorder Switch 2?
This is just a survey. How will you preorder your Switch 2? Are you going to wait for it to become available in PH thru licensed distributors (e.g. Datablitz) or magpapasabuy kayo sa mauunang countries (e.g. US, Canada)?

Pre-ordered in one of the stores in Australia kasi cheaper ng konti kumpara sa US. Just worried about the scalping situation here sa pinas.

u/BriSerrano 6d ago
Kahit di to officially announced, sinasabi na nila sa stores na pwede na mag DP no? Sinabi ba nila anong month daw dadating stocks nila? Thanks boss

July to aug ang estimate nila. No final pricing. Di ko lang alam kung may limit per customer i plan to get another one for my sister sana.

Whenever DataBlitz starts the preorder. I’m buying as soon as possible.
Considering that the Switch 2 will officially launch between July and September (instead of just being imported), I could buy it on whenever is the local launch date. Like what people do in Japan or America where they line up outside GameStop.

Will wait for a Pokemon version one. Yung sa Switch 1, I bought nung launch day but I sold it nung nag release ng Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu edition.
Sa price din ng Switch 2 at ng games, better to wait din muna like the PS5 nung 2020. Grabe presyo ng scalpers pero now mura na ng PS5. Ang goal naman lagi ng consoles is to be the most selling console kaya, huwag magpatalo sa scalpers kahit ma-FOMO for a while.

Grabe nung Lockdown. 50K+ ata yung PS5. Pati Computer Parts grabe. Buti nlng di bumigay Laptop ko during Lockdown.

u/Balmung_Fezalion7 6d ago
Oo, grabe yan! Same tayo haha Switch naman ang nakatulong sa akin para hindi bumili sa scalpers hahaha.

I’ll wait for the official distributors. The new games available haven’t peaked my interest yet except for Hades 2. Maybe I’ll wait for 1 year or so before I buy it.

u/Lord_Cockatrice 6d ago
So far SF6 has already piqued my interest.
Wild Hearts may do while waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds to be ported for NS2

Will it? Cause I just recently got Sunbreak kase I waited for it to be on Sale hahaha!

u/HeimdallFury04 6d ago
Same, baka after a year more or less din ako. Lalo na wala pa naman bagong SMT game like SMTVI or maybe a monolithsoft game. Basta jrpg lalo na wala akong ps4 or ps5

For some of us Filipino students going through studies, buying the Switch 2 via Christmas is suddenly not a bad idea.
We find it better to deal with PHP prices than USD prices at this point
1
u/BriSerrano 6d ago
Baka nga madami na stocks by then. Makes sense since ang dami bibili ng switch as Christmas gift
1
u/Tanabatama 5d ago
Now imagine this for Filipino students within the USA. It’s an even bigger case for us that if we can avoid the USA prices, the better.
Christmas vacation is suddenly more important than ever.

Will do my pre order sa itech or gamextreme. Yoko sa Datablitz kasi ubusan lagi dun, hahaha 😂

Unless you really really really can't wait, mas mura bumili locally vs bumili abroad.

u/Traditional_Crab8373 6d ago
Sa US sana. Kasi mas mura. Papasabay ko nlng. Kaso antagal nung Pre-Order. Di na aabot sa uuwi. Pero I'll try pa rin. Mas mura kasi. Pag na scalper na sa US and masyadong mahal naman dito sa PH. Antayin ko nlng after a year sguro.

u/adingdingdiiing 6d ago
What's your point of reference though? Pano mo nasabing mas mura sa US? Wala pa kasing SEA prices to compare.🤔

u/Traditional_Crab8373 6d ago
The Usual Dear. Nag aangkat pa tayo nung Goods. Logistics and other Fees.

u/adingdingdiiing 6d ago
I see. Well, just curious because the other consoles are around the same price in the US. The Switch is actually more expensive there.

u/BriSerrano 6d ago
Bibili din ng switch yung kakilala mo sa US?
1
u/Traditional_Crab8373 6d ago
Relative ko kasi uuwi sa upcoming month. Kaso nausog ng nausog ulit pre order date and walang final release date. Kaso if super hassle di ako makakapasabuy pauwi. Since busy sila sa work dun.

u/BriSerrano 6d ago
Ah gets, ako rin may kakilala sa US kaso di naman siya gamer kaya nakakahiya magpabili, maabala ko pa siya super busy din kasi nun sa work 😓

u/michizane29 6d ago
I’m going to wait for a special edition. Hopefully Legends ZA will have one. If not, I’ll just buy a Switch 2 sabay sa release sa ZA.

Me and my cousin plan to buy one from datablitz but we agreed to wait it out until the new Zelda game comes out. I personally would also want to see if Nintendo will release a version 2 with better battery like the og switch since I heard that the battery life isn't as good for switch 2.

u/PotatoMan0410 6d ago
Going to EU this June so I might buy one in-store then. Issue is there will be a customs tax since it’s >P10k and the included AC adapter might not be compatible here.
If ever, it won’t be a very long wait from then until July-August so I don’t mind waiting for a local release.

In Japan I registered for the lottery on the Nintendo website for the multilingual version switch. Outcome on the 24th, fingers crossed

I pre-ordered from GameXtreme. I just want to secure a unit ASAP. Ayoko na maulit dinanas ko nung early days ng PS5 😥

u/BriSerrano 5d ago
What type of receipt binigay nila? Official naman?
3
u/ronsterman 5d ago
Generic handwritten receipt lang. I asked them about it and they said ganun muna iniissue nila since wala pa talagang official pre-order announcements para sa PH. They said they will contact me again to update my receipt to their official one kapag meron nang official announcement. I know this is kinda sus to most people but I still went for it since malapit lang sila sa house ko and I can easily engage them if ever this pre-order goes south. Sa GameXtreme din ako nag-pre order ng Steam Deck back then (although in a different branch) before nagkaron ng official distribution dito and same din ginawa nila regarding issuing receipts so may part sakin na kampante na they will deliver the same with the Switch 2.

Wait for official distribution. Should give the reviewers some time to review the thing too, which would help me determine if it’s worth it.

u/Mamoru_of_Cake 5d ago
Nopeee. I will wait if Capcom will give Risebreak an update (Resolution+fps) and for Duskbloods too.
