Sheikah Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I spoke on Amazon chat who said they had the following information "Please be advised that Nintendo Switch will be available to pre-order from 06:00 GMT Friday, 13 January, 2017. Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed." So it does indeed seem to be a 6AM preorder time and not just a mistake. Odd choice of timezone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should cut down on the scalping a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 1 per customer is a good way to combat scalper scum. I'm most interested to see if they sell out on Amazon and if so, how quick, than the presentation itself.

Ximikal Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hello, long term lurker and very rare poster. Hope you don't mind this quick question. Has anyone got a pre-order with ShopTo when they put it up back in October? I did but am wondering if I should pre-order somewhere else just in case. What do you guys think? Has anyone had experience pre-ordering consoles from ShopTo before? I also have just set my alarm for 3.55am and have been to the gym tonight so I don't have to go at 6am tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Gibbs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What's this list? WAIT? Super Mario 3D Switch World? oh boy i mean the list is fake but my god in a weird Schadenfreude way i'd absolutely love that to be the name for the absurdity of it EDIT: and theres no way i'll be up for 6am to pre-order, i just don't have the energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had experience pre-ordering consoles from ShopTo before? I also have just set my alarm for 3.55am and have been to the gym tonight so I don't have to go at 6am tomorrow Hey there Ximikal, no trouble at all, I once was a lurker and only joined the forum when I was made a staff member, questions are welcome here. I too have pre-ordered with ShopTo as it happens, I've had nothing but good experiences with the company, I ordered my Wii U and PS4 from there plus a PS3, probably a 3DS or two as well with no problems. Having said that, I am looking to pre-order from another place if I get the chance, probably the Nintendo store but I think ShopTo are still a safe bet... the question is, will they be altering their pre-order listings significantly or just starting with fresh ones? That's what I'm thinking... hopefully they'll still honour exisiting pre-orders but you'd be wise to keep an eye on it just as I'm doing. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never ordered a console for launch from ShopTo but their service is generally pretty fantastic. Why not preorder from two places and cancel one order ahead of launch if need be?

Ximikal Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks S.C.G, I appreciate the reply Never ordered hardware from ShopTo before so it's always nice to get feedback. Very tempted now to put another pre-order in with Amazon in the morning or the Nintendo store just to be on the safe side. Edit: Thanks Goron_3, I think I will do that to be on the safe side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kounan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Probably answered long time ago, but I still have to ask. Will the pro controller be supported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Probably answered long time ago, but I still have to ask. Will the pro controller be supported? It seems the Switch will have its own Pro Controller so possibly not but we'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I cant believe how nervous I feel right now I'm going to sleep now, planning on getting up at 3:30, watching the presentation, then continually hitting F5 on multiple sites. Followed by a one and a half hour commute to work. Night all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 looking at the switch pro controller I would be disappointed if the Wii U pro's didn't work, there's not that big a difference. If shoulder pads are analogue then... sure I understand to an extent, but they could have limited backwards compatibility, reward wii u owners a tiny bit. personally it would push the Switch back to a more affordable purchase, if two of my controllers would already work with it.

liger05 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like that amazon never charge until the product ships. Shopto wanted money up front for the PS4 which to me is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liger05 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I preordered my PS4 with ShopTo and didn't get charged until shipping. So did I. I had as Amazon order and Shopto. Shopto asked for money about 5 days before launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I won't be staying up for the live feed but will watch it first thing when I wake. I already have mine preordered with Game. I know that they may end up being a little more expensive going by their pricing, but at least it's guaranteed for me with them. I was 2nd to preorder.

WackerJr Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 We should be getting a release date, right? With (potentially) just a couple of months to go until launch they'll have to give one. This isn't an iPhone so Nintendo need to give more than a weeks' notice! They need to go all out. The casual gamer won't know about the console so they need to get that hype train rolling quickly!
