37 years old and I'm doing a console midnight collection. Worse still, it's post work-drinks so I'll be in Smyths stinking of booze...

Just like the staff.

My Amazon order for the Switch still says 'arriving tomorrow'.

 

I would have thought that in order for that to be true, they would have had to dispatch it today?

[murray]

There's still 32 minutes of today left!

 

Have faith. 

[JPickford]

And 24 hours of tomorrow.

[murray]

EXACTLY.

GameXplain have done a new left joycon video. This is after the update. Ignore the part he puts it behind his back, there are problems when just resting your hand on your thigh etc.

 

Here's the video:

It's 8am and in 20 minutes I am walking over to COLLECT MY SWITCH.

 

Happy Switchmas everyone!

[jonamok]

Why does the planet rotate so damn slowly?

 

Maybe if we all run to the West at the same time we can speed up the rotation?

[Indy @ S.E.]

Merry Switchmas one and all!!!

 

Godspeed to all the courier drivers up and down the land, may there be nothing but green lights on your travels.

Posting my tweet because picture too big.

In Asda...they've found the console but currently cannot locate any games. I may have to wait until after work tomorrow to play Zelda. I had plans for the day's commute.

So this happened

Smyth's were really good, I left my house at 11:10 - got to Smyths for 11.30 - was the first person in the queue at the door, opened the doors at midnight, they had taken all the stock downstairs, had 1 till open for pre-ordered consoles and 1 for general sale, I went to the general sale queue, asked for a Neon he grabbed the console from under the till, asked if I wanted a game bundle, showed me the options, I opted for it with Bomberman for £309.99 so I got Bomberman for £30, I was out the door by 00:01.

I have got it. After riding in the early evening, waiting 5 hours, table for one at Frankie and Bennie... I picked it up, there were 5 other nerds with me but then quite a few other joined. It was fun, I dont regret it a bit. Happy times.

It is really cold again! The ride back to Eastbourne from Crawley was a freezing experience.

 

console got stuck at sdxc update. After 10 minutes i lost patience and held power button. It asked for update again and it took literally 1 second to complete

I have updated my signature with the Switch friend code. Add me if you want

Amazon are OOS of that 128GB Toshiba Micro SD for £34.

 

BUT - Prime Now have it in stock in my area, along with a bunch of Switch accessories and indeed, the console itself! And there's a £5 off voucher if you spend £50 - 5OFF50. So worth a look.

 

I ordered a memory card, a spare Switch plug, and some nibbles.

 

Probably the least exciting delivery I'll have all day 

[the_debaser]

Yeah looks like it's on prime now in my area too!

[skittles]

 

TEAM RED BLUE GET

 

When booting up you are only given the option of transferring mii from amiibo.. cannot link from miiverse is it?

 

Edit: is it. So singaporean la

 

This console is beautiful.

[Jonny5]

Only the grey available on prime now for me

[Paulando]

I mean, the Switch plug is obscene for £27 (though I did get £5 off), but the cable is 1.8m long, and it means I don't have to go through the arduous process of figuring out which third party plug will charge the Switch fast enough without frying it. So yeah.

Having spent some time looking into it £27 for the official one is a pretty good price. 

[HarryBizzle]

At least it comes with one. I got my NES mini home today to find out it doesn't come with an AC adapter. 

 

Nice to see it's in stock in a fair few places - hopefully it will significantly take the wind out of the sails of scalpers. I'm tempted to pick one up despite all its faults but the silence from Nintendo regarding the controller issue is a bit worrying. I think I'm going to hold off until we know more about whether it can be fixed with software or needs a hardware revision.

Why is it, after all the reports about it, is licking one of the cartridges going to be one of the first things I do when I pick up my Switch later?
