Aperson Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Well, the Switch is finally out. Nintendo has played their trump card, let's see how the consumers react. Also: [tweet]837462491412094976[/tweet]
ArtMediocre Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Just "woke up" after a terrible night with almost no sleep. Gah, I'm more exited than a kid before christmas Eve! Congrats with the Switches @londragon and @Serebii! In three hours I'll be part of the club too!
markderoos Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Congrats guys! I'll be off the forums 'till mine arrives! I've been avoiding all unboxing and BotW video's so I'm not gonna be spoiled in these last few hours!
Ike Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Tracking still says "Pre-advice Received" which is kind of worrying. :/
Aneres11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Argos with plenty of stock it would seem for both consoles and all games. At least in my area. If I knew it'd be that bloody easy I'd have saved myself so much torment and just gone down at 9 and picked one up!
khilafah Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 any chance shops like smyths will have cases and screen protectors? looks like amazon didnt get their stock in time. delivery is monday.

If I knew it'd be that bloody easy I'd have saved myself so much torment and just gone down at 9 and picked one up! As I mentioned yesterday, Argos are always a good shout for console launches. Many people forget about them. Happy Switchmas to those buying/receiving the console today! I hope you guys have fun and enjoy your new console/handheld. : peace:

I hope you guys have fun and enjoy your new console/handheld. : peace: I never considered them as I thought we'd have this stock shortage or at the least they'd only have the console and no accessories. Normally Argos do a lot of 'online exclusives' Turns out they have like everything! Even the Pro Controllers and Zelda so I could have literally just done the 2 min drive at 9, got myself everything I'd preordered AND a neon switch and been done! Still tempted to just do that if my DPD delivery is like 4pm . But then I have no idea how ShopTo are with processing returns. First world problems right here lol.

Do you know if they had accessories in store?
Aneres11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Do you know if they had accessories in store? Yeah they had Pro controllers and the hard cases and some other cases too. They had the joy con charge grip and the Switch kick stand for table top mode too. All in stock in all stores across my area. Oh and the joy cons, singular and in pairs in all colours. But not single neons. Just the pair of them. They didn't have the joy con charge stand I've seen online at game etc, but they had everything good to go.

You could just return the shopto one to argos.
Aneres11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 You could just return the shopto one to argos. Would that work?
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 0 Days Switch is here! Lets do this! Couldn't sleep... Feels like Christmas morning. Argos with plenty of stock it would seem for both consoles and all games. At least in my area. If I knew it'd be that bloody easy I'd have saved myself so much torment and just gone down at 9 and picked one up! Still stocked [if youre in east London] 'old' Stratford, Leytonstone, East Ham and Ilford. Neon as well. But the website says '100+' people viewing it right now... A good indicator for sales may be if they sell out by tonight.
Shorty Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I don't think I'm getting mine today. My tracking on NUK doesn't even indicate it's been received by Royal Mail. You made the right decision, @Serebii Tempted to change to Grey and pick one up at Argos.
Ike Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 My local argos says it would be ready to pick up after 4pm, Grainger Games don't seem to have stock either.
Aneres11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Anyone on ShopTo orders got their one hour slot yet? Nothing for me at the min which is unusual for DPD.
Blade Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I don't think I'm getting mine today. My tracking on NUK doesn't even indicate it's been received by Royal Mail. You made the right decision, @Serebii Tempted to change to Grey and pick one up at Argos. I've just checked Argos for you there are Switches available for collection at all branches across Sheffield. I live 5 mins walk away from the Crystal Peaks one. Let me know if you want me to do anything.
Aneres11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Just got the email and text. Between half 1 and half 2. Urgh. What to do.
Shorty Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Cheers @Blade, I work near the city centre one though, I just tried to order one but my card was decline haha. I guess it looks suspicious charging the same amount to a different store.... Think I'm just gonna accept I'm getting it some time next week. Nintendo UK have been an absolute joke, I won't order anything from their online store ever again.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 @Aneres11 - Not yet with the shopto order but its at a closer destination now...

Shorty Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I don't mind ordering it for you and you transfer me the money? Appreciated mate but I don't have any haha, hence the credit card. Only once I returned either that one or the NUK one would I have the funds to cover it. Again well appreciated, I'll just be patient
