Your tweet did inform me of the deal so at least some good came out of it 😋 They've done decent deals in the past. Granted not this but even so. I recall picking up Pokémon Shield from then a few weeks after release for about £10 off so maybe they sometimes use games as a loss leader.

In light of that and the earlier comment that it only supports up to 2 controllers does that mean two pairs of Joy-Con won't work with it. Just out of curiosity.

I don't want a GameCube style price drop, but I do want a GameCube style handle. Best Nintendo console feature.

Now do the games! Joking aside, I wonder if we'll get a "Switch Selects" kind of thing at some point.

Yeah no doubt, it's good to know!

I used to carry a wrench with me to work (for my bike) and found it gave a nice threatening aura of I left it on my desk in an open plan office so if that's the vibe you're going for I'd recommend that. But a non-tech thing; sticky notes. Sometimes you just need to jot something down and it's satisfying scrunching it up after.

Falco is American so he unfortunately doesn't know the wonders of Argos.

Typo of the year

It's not great sure, but I don't think anyone is buying a console now for a game not yet available and buy nothing else. And sure the CG isn't great, but at least they specify it's not actual gameplay so it's difficult to say it's intentionally misleading. All hardware is sold off vague promises and desires. You give it a chance that it'll work out and you'll enjoy what's released.

How is it dishonest if they say it's not coming out for years?

Yeah there's a certain marketing psychology to announcing things in advance, particularly this close to Christmas. People will see decent deals and think "sod it, I was going to get one at some point anyway so I may as well get it now!" Maybe Spider-Man 2 will usher in the PS5lim.

Technically Spider-Man 2 could be out in 15 months 😋
