Apologies if this is already posted - I've not spotted it.
Smyths have stock of the Switch. If you add that and Zelda to the basket, you get the discounted price. You can get a discount with other games, but these seem pretty minimal.

Thats why I cant get why this is hot... £280 console... £40 game... £320. So this is pretty much current world pricing?

From playing it, I think the price point is fine. I think what some people forget is that the xbox one was £430 on release 4 years ago. PS4 £350.
And for anyone who is a fan of useless information...
If you were to take old Nintendo consoles and adjust for inflation, this is roughly what you would have paid for them in 2016;
NES £359
SNES £283
N64 £246
Gamecube £218

Am I the only one that thinks the price is actually fine (the console itself at least)?
People are complaining about the wrong things - the real issue is you're buying a new console to play ONE decent exclusive.

I won't be touching a Switch until they have a significantly larger game catalogue.

I disagree on price. But that's only because I want it for around £200 :man:

Tempted with the Switch. They need to drop massively in price before I will consider one though.
Heat though as this is still a deal.

Prob not going to happen for a while, they did a teardown and the cost of manufacturing is about $260.00
Wtf, smiths have stock and are selling it at £279.99 for the neon console brand new, cex will buy the neon console boxed for £290, so tempted to buy, try and if I don't like it sell it for £10 more than I paid lol

Good luck getting cash - tried at launch to sell to Cex £330 = no cash mate - take voucher instead?
In principle it needs more than one game before I will consider it - not the same versions of Mario Kart

I'd buy this myself but unfortunately I have a shed load of Amazon vouchers to use, so having to hold out for it appearing there. Might be a long wait!

zelda looks good but honesly the price is way too high for this its needs more games and a cheaper price point

Agreed, it was all a lot more expensive than I'd expected. However, for those that really want one now, £8-10 saving is better than nothing! :smiley:
