    There were plenty of them about for pickup across the various Smyths locations earlier this morning, but they have started drying up the last couple hours. Was down picking up another one in Clondalkin a little earlier and there were two left on the shelf for sale (non-Mario). No takers in the smallish queue at the time as they were all collecting.

    Looking now online for my local and was 15+ this morning. Now 12. So still plenty left here anyway. I do see the majority of other Smyths sold out. Wonder how Currys are. Loos like Amazon and Harvey Norman have stock as well.

    Any scalping yet? I noticed for something else they would say it was rare and sold out even while still available to try and scare potential victims.

    Picked it up first thing this morning and doing setup while I work. Lovely piece of kit. Coming from the Switch Lite, the screen is incredible.

    Ironically I finally got the dispatch notification for the OLED screen for my Switch Lite. Not sure what to do with that now but might give some life to the old Lite

    I'm in roughly the same timeframe. If you have an account set up on Parcel Wizard you might actually be able to see where the driver is on a map. I've got that map tracking for mine anyway

    Oh, that's interesting. I was playing it on PC, and I had no interest in starting it again. I may get tempted to get it on Switch 2

    Hi all, I posted this in another thread but probably not getting much traction there. I'm setting up a Nintendo Online family group with the expansion pass. There's 6 places left and it's 6.75 for the year. PM me your Nintendo email address if interested in joining and I'll you to the group

    Edit: All spots taken now. I'd recommend someone sets up another group, I'd already had to turn down 3 others after a couple of hours.

    Walked into a mostly empty Smyths around midday. Scanned my barcode at the click and collect kiosk and my name was called less than a minute later. After being told peeling the screen would void the warranty, I was out the door with a Switch 2 under my arm ready to fight anyone who tried to take it.

    In work and tried to have a go of it during lunch but you have to do the system transfer thing on start up or you can't do it again without doing a factory reset… Looks like I'll have to patiently wait until this evening so, 1st word problems!

    Picking mine up this evening after work. Just in terms of the system transfer, do you need to transfer all games across or can you pick and choose? My Switch with SD would have more than the onboard Switch 2 memory and I'm holding off getting the SD Express card for the moment.

    First impressions are very good. The Switch itself feels nice and premium, the joy cons are still too thin for my liking but it's going to be docked 99% of the time so no big deal. I did the system transfer since there were no warnings about resetting the original Switch and it worked flawlessly, took about 10 minutes. Thanks @Mimikyu for that heads up.

    Things I love so far, the home screen finally looks lovely (assume it's 4k) and oh my, how fast is the e-shop! It's actually enjoyable to use now. 😂 They've moved your wish list to the main menu which is a nice touch.

    Star of the show for me though is the Pro Controller 2 - it feels amazing. Those thumbsticks are so smooth, feels far better than the original pro controller which is saying something. They might have finally topped the original GC controller for comfort. 😳

    Mine arrived just before lunch. Wife told me she dropped the box when the DPD man handed it to her 🤦‍♂️ huge dent in the outside box and a small dent to the actual Switch box. Lucky it all looks to be working fine.

    Rushed through the console transfer and started the download for Mario Kart World so it's all ready to go later.
