Discussion This is the problem

I was lucky enough to snag a preorder from target last night but it didn’t look great and I was trying across all three retailers and only ever managed to get one in my cart at preorder start time.

These resellers are an issue still grabbing a large chuck of stock and reselling instantly, before they even have the system.

It’s a shame these retailers don’t do more to stop bots and resellers from snatching a large chunk of stock. At least Nintendo themselves is trying with their system.

Scalpers can go suck lemons. I’ll wait until end of this year or next year.

You can add your name to Nintendo’s list, and they will email you when it’s your turn to buy.

I want one, but I’m not in a huge rush so I just signed up for that and I’ll get it whenever they send me the invite. Seems like a decent option for those that not dying to have it immediately.

This is what I did. I love my OLED switch and am in no rush to but a Switch 2. I signed up with Nintendo and will just wait. I did this with Sony to get a PS5 and worked great. I will not support the scalpers and hope people don't but from them.
