Went hot at Smyth's for £319.99 recently, same price in Toys R Us however use code 8086839990 at the checkout stage for £5 off totalling £314.99.
However if you use the app Zeek you can get as much as 8% discount off the online gift vouchers. So you could pay as little as around £291 if you buy the vouchers and use the code. Which is a big saving on current separate prices and you get the red edition joy-cons.
This is a Pre order for release on 27/10/17.

They earmark it initially with the bank on placing the order then it drops off back available shortly after. Then they take it on dispatch.
So you would need the funds in the bank initially to place the order but it's not actually debited until despatch.
Terms are here:
3. Payment
3.1 Toysrus.co.uk only charge your payment card when we physically despatch your goods not when you place your order. To ensure there are sufficient funds to pay for your order your bank reserves the required amount in your account. This is common practice amongst mail order retailers.
The value of the reserved funds will not be available to spend on your card for the duration of the reservation and will therefore affect your available funds. In normal circumstances the reserved amount will be paid to us when your order is despatched.

If I didn't already have a Switch I'd buy this and sell the download code, then buy a physical copy. Only really worth doing that if you buy the Zeek vouchers though in my opinion and they're limited to what is available.

Slightly peed off with the fact that this has a seperate colourway, my Splatoon Bundle came with a regular Red + Neon combination instead of the Pink and Green elsewhere.
Oh well

I'd be more worried whether or not Toys R Us would be around long enough to fulfil the order

If you've read about that then you'd know it's only USA and Canada that is impacted.

Wish they would sell the Joy-Cons seperatly like they do in Japan.

If you've got the standard red and blue neon joy-cons then just buy the normal neon joy-cons separately and they are reversed. That way you have either a mix of blue and red or a set of blue and a set of red.
However the red is slightly darker on these joy-cons so it wouldn't be exactly the same colour.

Not a bad deal which makes a change for Toys R Us. They used to have a decent selection of games and consoles years ago but little or nothing these days. Wasnt surprised to hear they recently filed for bankruptcy protection in the States and Canada. I expect they will do a "Comet" on it shortly after Xmas. 5 Billion in debt. Shrikes........
Uk learnin from their US mistakes, i used shop alot there but through the years, no offers, rrp, no vouchers compared to other retailers, just wasnt the shop to shop, just good to look at new range of toys!!

Can’t believe these are selling near £300!! X box and PS4 now below £200 with games. This will be below £200 near xmas if not sold out. Bet it’s £150 after xmas. Nintendo a pos

Doubtful, demand is going to be high and nothing else competes, can’t see this dropping under £250 for a while....

Not a chance in hell, I seriously doubt this will be £200 in 4 years time never mind in time for this Christmas. These will sell like crazy, you must not follow many Nintendo related products. If you did then you would realise that they never officially dropped the price of the Wii U even though it sold only around only 13 million consoles in its lifetime. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo only have one business focus and that's video games. Sony and Microsoft have other divisions, Software, phones, TVs etc to make money from. For Nintendo if they ain't making money from video games they ain't making money hence never selling products for a loss like Sony and Microsoft do. Finally why would they even need to drop the price of the switch? It's selling like crazy everywhere. In Japan they are holding lotterys to win a ticket to be able to purchase one. That's right not win a console but actually win a ticket for the right to purchase one, insane.

I will reply to this post when the price crashes lol. Ds’s everything crashes in prices in the computer game world. Bet the games are £15 each soon not £40

I guess we will see you in a couple of years then.... The New 3ds XL barely drops below £150, so you'll be waiting a while for the Switch to get there.
