    Daniel schön! I'll try when I get home.

    I got my code. I just need a switch to enter it into. The eshop.nintendo.net/redeem site won't take it.

    Carrickmines Smyths sold out of Zelda and bomberman. Preorders are safe.

    Finally inside the door. Why did they ring me to tell me I could come in early and pay to speed this up? And then I couldn't??

    I have to say, Dundrum was fantastic. I thought the staff were great and they're getting through it really quickly. Also woo goody bags :D

    It would help if 2/5 of their staff were actually taking payments and not randomly walking around the store asking people if they're ok!

    Any sign of the online play or parental control apps launching tonight?

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=7277267556905944956&hl=en&ved=0ahUKEwjI1Ke2ibnSAhVCJMAKHcirDUkQFggZMAA&usg=AFQjCNFuv64M_dOr1nARVZfFPlOxDdBNDw&sig2=SzCAhVl7WPYYLLkTwqiX9Q

    The online app is launching in summer. Parental control app is out since last night. You need a switch for that too :pac:

    And back home now. Bigger crowd than they were expecting. And was charged the bundle price. He was saying about taking the 25 deposit off it and i said so 360? He said yeah minus the 25. Thought cool. Then he realised when ringing it in. So paid another 360.

    And after midnight so Merry Switchmas everyone!

    Oh btw they wouldn't give me the bundle price because they already pre auth the online order and i would have been recharged again freshly while waiting for the first refund. Didnt have the money ti be charged again.

    Sure did. Better than nothing, i guess.

    I'd swap it for a sweet credit card transaction, though.
