Did they have a preowned sticker on them or just the case was open? If the case was just open then it would have been that it was on the shelf but the game would have been new. I think preowned are all stickered.

Stickers peeled off, save file on one of the Pokemon games, and the Luigi's Mansion box is a little beat up. Not a big deal as I'm not really a collector but would have preferred to know before buying

Some Tesco stores have the 2018 model for 229 or 250 for the Pokemon edition

Dcully · 22-11-2019 10:33am

Any difference between 2018 and 2019 models i should know about?

About double the battery life in the newer one thanks to a more efficient CPU.

There's a few decent enough bundles in the amazon black friday sale too by the looks of it.

Dcully · 22-11-2019 10:38am

Im only seeing the console for 279 sterling at the moment, am i missing somehting?

£314.99 with Zelda:LA ain't bad, does the 329 in Argos come with a game?

£299 with mario kart is there too.

xckjoo · 22-11-2019 10:39am

You might already know this, but the Lite is cheaper and is the same except that it can't be connected to the TV and you can't remove the controllers. Might suit better for a younger kid.

Dcully · 22-11-2019 10:46am

Argos one comes with €35 eshop code.

Just spotted the switch on its own on eglobal central for €265.99, considering ill be getting the switch online subscription for him too this could be a decent deal?

Speaking of which is switch online recommended?

@xckjoo yeah thanks, id like the option to hook up to tv if needed.

Mickeroo · 22-11-2019 10:50am

The ones with 35 euro e-shop credit are the older shorter battery life ones but that's still a decent enough deal in fairness, particularly if you save the credit for a sale.

Switch online is good as you get a bunch of SNES (and NES) games to play, other than that I wouldn't be bothered with it unless you want it for online multiplayer of course.

Dcully · 22-11-2019 10:54am

Yeah just had a look on argos there and the better battery one with no estore code is €329 also , id prefer the better battery.
Aswell as the switch online im looking to get splatoon 2 also as he loves playing that on a friends switch, im assuming i can grab that digitally?

RobbingBandit · 22-11-2019 10:56am

Bags and cases and other interesting accessories font cheap in Argos Okey Dokey Luigi case for €5.99 and Everywhere Messenger bag both standard and Zelda edition for €14.99 each

Note case is for Switch only not Switch lite.

RobbingBandit · 22-11-2019 11:02am

This hori dpad left joy-con looks very interesting for under €20

I think there's a doubt whether Nintendo will honour the warranty of the Switch's bought on eGlobal as they're the Chinese ones. Don't know if this has been tested though. Might not be a UK plug too.
It's purely a potential warranty issue though. No issues with region locking or anything like that.

Apologies for dragging off-topic, but does this game require you to commit to long play times or can you dip in and out? Don't have the time for long plays

The game is long but the Switch gives the dip in and dip out flexibility. I'm in the same position as I rarely get much more than 20 mins on a game in one sitting, but I do manage to get through a good chunk on Switch when you add up all the 20mins.

After the first 6 hours, you can dip in and out. I'd recommend playing long enough to get a good grasp of the character etc.

Anyway, on topic, any really good deals in the eShop sales (willing to emigrate to either Russia, South Africa, US, Japan, or Mexico

) - I can see the usual suspects but nothing major.

Hey folks,

I dont have a switch but I'm looking to get my nephew a game, was wondering can I digitally download it and "gift" it to him from the nintendo eshop? Looking at the 30% off for Breath of the Wild.

mrcheez · 22-11-2019 12:40pm

Is there a historical price site anywhere to see if the price of games on eStore are lowest ever?

I'd buy it on cart for him. At least that way he can trade it in against another game if he doesn't like it or when he's finished it.

There's a far bigger saving on the 128GB memory card as it's reduced by a little over £20.

Yep - that's how the switch won - play anywhere, anytime, anyone and also on the jacks!

You've got this 3 times ... is it really that good. How's it compared to BOTW.

Game does get great reviews from actual players on Amazon. Incredible achievement from the developers.

It only I had the time to put into it!
