Just picked up my Switch from DPD. The Joy-Cons feel so nice! I feel a bit naughty opening my gift on Switchmas Eve....

GameStop still never replied to me over my accessories+Zelda order, nor have they taken payment, so I guess them changing my Joy-Con order to the Snipperclips bundle did indeed **** that up. Hopefully nobody else has that issue.

You can officially start the "I have a Switch-discussion thread"!!

Damn you Racket!!! I'm likely to have Zelda/pro controller tonight but dammit I want my Switch.

Just in case you want to get a bit amorous with you new Switch games, don't:

Honestly... I'm kind of curious.

The thought of doing this never occurred to me. Now it fills every waking moment.

There are a few here that want a Switch? Maybe they'd take your pre-order;saves them time and hassle and saves you a trip!

(Also hope all is well in hospital!)

Same with me if you are talking about GameStop....

I had to go into them in person, I ended up moving my deposit I had paid over to Zelda to get that tomorrow...

10/10 for Zelda on IGN!

Fairytale of Carrickmines :

it was Switchmas eve, babe
In the Smyths queue
An old man said to me
"I was there in '92"
And then we sang a song
The Mario underground tune
He said it was from 1-4
But I knows it's 1-2....

Preordered the grey one
But they "Switch"ed me to neon
I've got a feeling
I'll tell work I have the flu
So happy Switchmas
I'm bankrupt, baby!
But I got a charging grip
and spare joy cons for you.....

They've got Bomberman R
They've got Breath of the Wild
And we guessed the design specs
from the patents they filed
But when I turned up at Smyths on that cold Switchmas eve
You promised my preorder was waiting for me
You'd a grey one
You'd Neon, and a bucket to pee on
we were stood in that line until 1/4 to two
The Special edition!
I've accomplished my mission
Just need 3 hours to charge it
and a red bull or two

I'll swore the tutorial area is the only bit I'd play
And now the sun is coming up on Switchmas day

Feck Amazon anyways, still not sent Grey Switch and ZeldaSE, but they took payment around 5am. Feck sake.
So I called Gamestop and they moved my 23th Dec from grey to Colored ones!!
I just cannot miss out on Midnight launch, You only live once!!

Might even keep amazon one too, as got it for 300e.
Heck a USBC 2.6amp Plug is 28e, extra Jons 80e, spare Dock 100e, USBC Powerbank least 100e.
A spare Switch be even handier than a Powerbank Charger Madness I know. But im trying to justify it.
Worst case get return label from Amazon!!

Delighted some of ye got yeres already, ye are the chosen ones!!! Enjoy

Creamy Goodness

Are people expecting a huge queue at Smyth's Carrickmines? I'm planning on going up there around 11:30 and sitting in the car until the doors open and just rocking in and collecting.

Sparko

So jealous of the guys who have it already!

I have a pre-order since January with Smyths so I'm going to go collect it at midnight. I'm assuming/hoping I'll get some sort of conformation email this evening..

Banjo

And so this is Switchmas
And what have you done?
Bought an imported Zelda
By selling your bum

So this is Switchmas
The line-up is strong
Pro-controller or Joycon
The grey or Neon

A very merry Switchmas
have a happy launch day
don't get tears on your Gamepad
when you pack your WiiU away


Come on, I can't be the only one who's had Switchmas songs going around in their head all morning....

Mine just shipping from Amazon

Tempted to pick up a pro-controller tonight if possible, GS have 20% off accessories so it brings it down to a near €64 vs £65 on Amazon or €80 in GS without the offer.

Third party accessories, not the pro controller.

Banjo

Do GS carry the 3rd party pro controller from Hori, the Wired one? 'Cause that's only £30-odd online, a decent price for that + 20% off might be preeeety sweet.

wasnt on the list that i was shown when i went in about the 20% discount. getting this zelda case with 20% off:

Banjo

Let me know what you think - I love the outside of that one but I'm getting increasingly worried that the divider between the Game slots and the screen is too flimsy - other less beautiful cases have a bigger looking pad over hte screen rather than that kind of sensual netting they've gone for. The screen is apparently very easy to scratch. Better yours than mine, i guess

Aokay

Where were you when the best game of this generation was released?

Seems smyths have closed pre order now as well.

magnumbud

dmcg90

Gah! GAH I SAY!

Work's kept me busy the past few days thankfully.
Made the week seem to slide by.
The Reviews for Zelda are very very good, mine still in transit from UK.
Was kinda hoping I'd have something to gaze at today while waiting for tomorrow morning.
C'mon Royal Mail and Parcel Motel, don't let me down!
