Switch sold out everywhere?

Doodah7

Bought a 2DS XL last Christmas to play DQ VIII. Surprisingly, given their relative shortage, CEX reduced their trade in prices for the console in the past week??!!

Mr E

It's end of life. I don't think the demand is there.

I traded my New 3DS for a New 2DS before Christmas. I think I've played on it twice.

The Switch has completely taken over.

Just wondering if anyone knows if any stock is expected anytime soon anywhere!!!

My son has been asking for switch for his birthday in about 5 weeks time and I didn't realise there was an issue with getting them until I went looking this week.

Would really appreciate a heads up if any one has any info!

You can reserve it here; https://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2078126/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CVideo+games%7C14419738/c_2/3%7C19780877%7CNintendo+Switch%7C50000328/c_3/4%7Ccat_50000328%7CNintendo+Switch+consoles%7C50000329.htm

There might be one closer to home though, better to reserve the above one and then go hunting so at least you have a backup.

Argos had stock on Monday in the UK. They sold 1500 switches in a few hours on eBay. Usually means our batch is soon to follow

Thanks a million, I'll keep an eye on the stock over the next few days. I'm at the stage where I'm going to have to look at 2nd hand if no joy soon even though obviously i'd prefer to purchase new!

The dreaded C word has been mentioned in my house and a Coral Switch lite is top of one list (to go with my OG switch and another daughters lite), they seem to be next to impossible to get through the usual suspects, if anyone happens across one i would appreciate a heads up.

Ugh, that C-word. I do my shopping for that particular season in early October/November but July is far too early.

My daughter is asking for one too this year. Although I agree it might be pretty early to do some shopping, it's not a bad idea to get the cost of a new switch out of the way before we make it to full madness buying mode.

That's true. Talking to my parents about their buying 30+ years ago and buying now, there's a lot more to save for these days. I've a 1 year old at home and when he's older he'll be sending his letter at the beginning of November and woe betide him if he changes his mind after that.

My logic will be that if there is some exclusive item like the Switch at that time and it's as elusive as this console, I'll buy one and if, before the letter leaves in November, he changes his mind, I'll sell it on at cost. I've done similar with gifts for my nieces, Hatchimals being a memorable one.

Everything else can wait until after Halloween but I feel like the Switch is going to be next to impossible to get so would like to pick one up ASAP.

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one just now. My son has been wanting one for ages and maybe me too!

cant find any, in saying that I'm limited to a few stores as I have a 300 euro one for all voucher , argos seem to be always out of stock in dublin, as are gamestop and currys/pc world.
I didnt realise they were so popular.
My daughter is devestated. (or am I )
if anyone hears of any stock could they let me know please.
Much appreciated.

I was the same with a 300 one for all voucher. I kept checking stock in the local argos stores and somehow by sheer luck 1 appeared there on Monday. I reserved and collected it yesterday. I did speak to staff in gamestop and they told me that they didn't know when they would get stock back in but smyths seem to be selling them online again so I'm sure other stores will be getting them back in stock soon enough.

There are ways of cashing a One4All voucher but it costs a small amount of the voucher. A thread on Reddit posted this link and sounded like they had some success https://www.gvsprepaid.com/one4allie-tcs.html

Just in case Smyths get the consoles in stock as they don't accept One4All vouchers.

If Argos, Gamestop or Currys get them in in the meantime, you're set.

They are available in Currys pc world still. Though I know you said you have a voucher. I ordered it online and came quickly. Maybe you could give someone you know the voucher and they order it online for you
