    Argos the Wii-U version of Zelda also, €62.99 so cancelled my Amazon order.

    Was surprised to see some decent stock of the Switch items.

    Am pissed that hori pad never happened, I took a shot of the item number in store yesterday on the screen so I could have the code to reserve it and just after seeing the tbc 2017 info for the release date of it.

    €75 for a pro controller will have to suffice.

    Is the Zelda limited edition worth the difference? I'm trying to look online but only see stuff about the master edition.

    I don't think so. It's a statue of the Master Sword that you're really paying for and you don't get the Switch carry case that they get in the US.

    Yeah that's what I thought. I don't think the statue is even an amiibo. Thanks dude.

    half the price at €31.99 and hori do good pads. I will be playing the switch mostly in table top or portable mode so a wired pad would suit me as much as a wireless, that €31.99 bag looks interesting on argos.

    Eugh.

    Got a bit giddy and reserved a grey switch at Argos tallaght earlier.

    Given the games backlog I have I can't justify it (yet). If anyone wants the reservation code let me know (it's actually in stock and available for collection now) .

    On my way to Smyths. have a choice (second game) between bomberman or 1-2 switch. Second it's for 5 years old. Looks like playing in 1-2 switch after one times could be boring .

    I have one reserved in Jervis that's in stock as my back-up, in case Smyths messes me about like they did with the PS4. If, as I suspect, I don't need it, I can send you the reservation code.
