    Buying a 64GB Micro SD memory card and then a larger one at a future date works out more expensive. The amount of different kinds and sizes of memory cards I have sitting around me here is unreal. When I buy a card, I'll buy one large card, no need for swapping then either.

    On this point, if you have a recent enough Android phone with a Micro SD slot then the card won't really go to waste if you decide to upgrade. And at least it's not like the proprietary pieces of shít that you had to buy with the Vita that were absolutely useless outside of that system - something I imagine put a lot of people off buying a Vita.

    dont think it was discussed here yet but seems that a lot of people who ordered LoZ master edition have had there orders cancelled due to them going missing from the depot.

    EDIT: OPPS i left out an import part and that was it was Amazon US orders

    pretty cool feature for the system someone playing the Botw found is that in the update game part of the options theres an option to update by connecting to a friends nerby switch. handy if theres an update for a game and your not anywhere near a internet connection

    We'd have to have got the master edition in the first place to have it cancelled :pac:

    I'm really jealous - I pre-ordered with Amazon, but I didn't get any email saying I'd be getting it early.
    Zelda and Bomberman have "Arriving 7 Mar - 8 Mar" and the actual Switch is "Arriving 10 Mar - 11 Mar"
    :(

    Look on the bright side, maybe it was some dastardly european hijackers on holiday in the states who took the truck full of Zelda Master Editions, and we can look forward to seeing the Sheikah Slate switch cases on sale on O'Connell Bridge for a fiver in May when they get back?

    At that price I can think of a place to stick that Master Sword.

    I wonder if Argos will have Switch games on stock on launch day?
    They seem to bring good value compared to certain others....
    Also, be interesting if they have a bundle or two.

    XB1 launch in Gamestop had pizza, I'd say the PS4 launch did too. Better be pizza at this launch or there'll be war. Bring yizzers 'We want pizza!' placards!

    Ask Sligeach ;)

    Actually, the whole set for BotW look amazing but even I couldn't justify the expense.

    Talking of controllers in the Wii U thread made me wonder what type of batteries are in the Joy-cons. Like are they good for charging repeatedly? If I attach to the docked console every few hours when I finish playing will overcharging cause an issue?
    And as I was asking before, do they last longer when not connected to the console since I think the console can draw power from them to extend its life.

    Their Twitter was pretty good when I was asking them about instant film a few months back.
