    Create a Russian account or change your region to Russia in your account.
    It used to be believed that when you change between regions you lost your credit when you went back, but I don't think that is the case anymore, although I am not 100% on that, best to double check.
    You can use revolut or any card to make purchases from Russia or South Africa.

    Ah brilliant - I have an SA account but I didn't know about the Russian one !

    When changing regions, I just change it on my Nintendo profile and then use the card I have saved on the Nintendo account, and use the Just Required Amount option.

    Skyrim is $29.99 on the US store. I am tempted, I love playing Skyrim around Christmas time but for some reason would prefer to pick it as a physical card but that seems to be 60€

    Download size is 14.5 GB so not too bad I guess. I think I have enough space.

    Will probably start to see the euro store offers popping out tomorrow lunchtime I'd hazard a guess Skyrim will drop here too

    I was very interested in my friend Pedro at the start of the year but then forgot about it. Has anyone played it? Worth a tenner?

    It is bonkers, definitely worth a tenner. If you're like me, you'll scramble through the game the first time and then go back and get fancy for more points. There is plenty of game there that re-playing it isn't a quick job.

    Question,
    Santa is beginning the kids a switch.
    Can you buy games from the estore or does the console need to be registered first? Just keeping an eye out for bargains

    The FAQ on that page says that a console is required to buy games on the eshop, so I think you'd need to have the console registered first.

    I think this came up last year but can't remember the answer. Might have been in one of the other threads though.
    You could try and register an account on nintendo.co.uk and buying a game to see. You'll need to set up an account on the switch anyway so no harm doing it now. It might also be worth taking out the switch before the big day and letting it do all the updates on the console and games. Could save you a lot of "is it ready yet?" on the day :D

    I didn't check the FAQ - D'oh.
    But I was guessing, if you can make the purchase in your account using a browser online, then when you sign into your device those games would be available?
    Again, not sure, so I'll leave it there.

    Are the Borderlands games any good if you prefer to play on your own or is co-op a big part of them?

    I found them fun on my own but they are very repetitive. Played a few times with friends and it was a different game, loads of fun, especially with chat. (Is there online co-op on the Switch version?)

    That was with mouse and keyboard though, I'm sure it'd be fine with controllers.

    Thanks.

    Might just get Borderlands from the US store then (or see if it goes down in our eShop)

    If I order from Amazon, it's not likely to arrive this year. Currently most of my Amazon packages are getting stuck in An Post.

    23.99 for the Handsome Collection, and 29.99 for the full. I can't see myself playing Borderlands 1 again - wish I could just buy 2 by itself, as I didn't really enjoy Pre Sequel. €15 in Russia actually, once Nintendo unblock my card in 2 days.
