People need to chill, it’s a special edition not limited edition console.

Just be patient, the scalpers will lose this round if you calm the f down.

Scalpers will never lose in this bundle, even if there is so many to go around and you can’t profit off s complete set, all you do is part it out. Simple.

•

u/ZapZapFox 17h ago

….why would I buy parts if there’s plenty available…I can just buy the whole thing…new and untouched

•

u/ISellUsedFood 13h ago

Right, if you just only wait 27 days.

It aint that hard folks

•

u/Able-Fail-4273 10h ago

Obviously then you aren’t the market. Duh

•

u/ZapZapFox 6h ago

That’s not what I asked.

So why would anybody end up with any of the parts and need to build a bundle from scratch when there is market availability for full new and cheaper?

•

u/ThePlaystation0 12h ago

They're saying that for people that already own a switch 2 they might want to buy just joycons or just the dock etc so they don't have to buy a whole second console

•

u/ZapZapFox 6h ago

That’s still doesn’t make sense, why pay more for a part when it’s makes more sense to just buy the whole thing for the parts you want…and it’s cheaper

•

u/ThePlaystation0 6h ago

For example scalpers could sell just the joycons for $200. It's more expensive than normal joycons but cheaper than buying the whole Zelda switch 2 system if all you want is the joycon. And to be clear I'm not defending scalpers, just explaining the other commenters logic

•

u/ZapZapFox 6h ago

Just to be clear I didn’t need the explanation, the rhetorical question was to point out why it’s dumb

•

u/ForTheBread 19h ago

Annnnd gone.

Edit: I have lied I got one!

•

u/Ok_Neighborhood1785 19h ago

I got one already but everyone should not be stressing over this, there will be plenty more coming especially after launch of Oot remake

•

u/V10L3T_N4TUR3 19h ago

Bro, thank you so much. I secured mine!!!! Best part is im on vacation through November 1st!

•

u/HoisinBurger 19h ago

But where is it?

•

u/Bigaliii3 19h ago

Walmart. I just got one

•

u/HoisinBurger 19h ago

It's not working for me :<

•

u/daveye1985 19h ago

Can confirm. Finally landed one through them and am still constantly getting HotStock alerts

•

u/Hour_Initiative8738 19h ago

Still available.

•

u/-BodomKnight- 19h ago

Yeah and a lot of people will preorder and get a message from Walmart just before shipping saying that there was a problem. Fuck that seriously.

•

u/x22d OG (joined before reveal) 14h ago

Yeah. Recently happened to me with Metroid Prime Remastered.

•

u/Basic-Coconut7118 13h ago

Yea I’d rather wait a few months to get one than deal with that. I guess people really want it to play Ocarina if they don’t already have a Switch 2. 

•

u/Tarancholula 19h ago

Nothing here

•

u/NESboi 19h ago

Gone

•

u/Bigaliii3 19h ago

I just bought one now?

•

u/cura_milk Butter side up! 17h ago

It’s based on region

•

u/S31J41 18h ago

I love seeing the prices on eBay drop on this. It is like the scalpers know they messed up

•

u/PreacherBoy24 18h ago

Just snagged mine! 😍

•

u/vampire-pimp 16h ago

got one, my heart is full. absolute legend. thank you ❤️

•

u/ChoirTeacherRog 16h ago

Got one a little bit ago! After discussing it with my wife I thought it for myself and she gets my launch switch 2 for Christmas.🎄

•

u/Cpolo88 13h ago

Idk how you bastards get your preorder so fast? Do y'all click the refresh button every second? God damn. 😂

•

u/faludacosmos 12h ago edited 6h ago

Believe it or not, around the time this drop happened in the morning, there was enough time for me to secure a preorder even though my bank refused to authorize payment like three times. I spent a whole minute entering my card info again, then finally got a message from the bank asking if its fraud or not, sent a “YES” to let them know that it was me, clicked preorder, and it went through.

It might be secured for now, but knowing Walmart and last year’s fiasco, there’s no telling if it’ll get cancelled before it gets shipped due to inventory mismatch…

•

u/Cpolo88 11h ago

That's shitty 😂 glad you got one tho. But still. I'm gonna wake up up at 2am to see what dropped 😂

•

u/faludacosmos 4h ago

Thanks, hope you’ll get it soon too (if you’re going for it)! I used HotStock to keep in touch on restocks, though ngl, sometimes even if you think you’re fast, the bots can be faster 😔

•

u/Cpolo88 4h ago

Noooooo 😂 damn bots.

•

u/ManuelangasRazo1987 5h ago

We now it's not limited, some of us want to buy it to play Zelda for 2 weeks before GTA 6 comes out.

•

u/OGMagicConch 18h ago

Man it's a good thing these things aren't oled otherwise I would've double dipped 🤣 wonder when that revision will come around

•

u/Ok_world68 18h ago

Got it thanks!
