Oh, here in Munich's Saturn Switch was sold out in 2 minutes.

and Zelda, too.

Damn

 

[Schattendorfer]

no.

I chattet with them yesterday and "angeblich" it still says 180 for me and I am getting a refund on my credit card. But they also said the last time that the 180 will show the day of shipping and yesterday they said "no no we ment not the day of shipment, we ment the day of release, tomorrow your bill will chance to 180 Euros automaticly. " And of course still no chance It seems the right hand doesn´t know what the left does or they lie straight to my face.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Waiting for the Abholbestätigung

 

[The perfect Dark]

I talked with them yesterday and they told me

Mine is with UPS, last status was a departure scan at Nurnberg at 1:05 AM. The website says it will be delivered by midday, but it is not yet out for delivery. We shall see, if not then I will have to hit up Amazon as I paid extra for before midday delivery.

Update: As I wrote this it changed to out for delivery since about 8:50 AM.

 

[JimPanzer]

does anyone know how fast amazon DE does deliver digital codes for game? Might just buy the digital version if my physical copy doesn't come before my switch.

 

[Bedameister]

Anyone tried it at a retailer today?

 

[hEist]

god damn...

Anyone tried it at a retailer today?

read on twitter that some Saturns had no stock (Munich/Hamburg) and only for the people who preordered. Others only 6-10 in stock.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Anyone tried it at a retailer today?

I saw about 15 to 20 Units at Media Markt in Vienna, neatly hidden away in the last corner.

Reminds me of the launch of the 3DS where they just threw the console boxes on the ground like some sort of dump.

Retailers in Vienna fucking hate Nintendo.

 

[TanookiTom]

I was thinking about going to a store to pick it up there, but there is only one MediaMarkt in all of Berlin that still has the Switch in stock.

And none of the Saturns has any left (in any color).

Not sure if this just means they almost didn't have any or if there is really a launch run.

Twitter reports and photos make it sound as if Media Markt and Saturn had relatively decent availability at opening. Next week there's a restock.

Sweet. So if I don't get one today I don't even have to wait long (and can finish other games first)

 

[Adan0s]

Went to the biggest Saturn here in Karlsruhe. ~80 People waiting before opening, they had like 7 units.
I ran to the nearest Müller and fortunately they still had like 10 units. But only for one more minute after I arrived, a herd of nerds was running behind me.

Depending on how urgent you want it, you could also just order it right now on Amazon.de. If you want it sooner than next Friday, you can also order the system on Real.de (with the newsletter coupon and local market pickup, it's just 5EUR more than on Amazon.de). Or you can buy it on Amazon.es or some other website. You have a lot of options.

 

[Chrono321]

I got mine 1,5h ago... unfortunately I have to leave for work now...
Played Zelda in handheld mode - very nice!
Weekend is going to be awesome!!!

 

[jts]

Zelda arrived. Just Zelda. No Switch.

But I decided to let it go.

FNAC is a disgusting scummy company that charged me for my console and sold it to someone else, but I will wait to get mine, and won't lose 50-70-80€ just to play the GOTF a week early. Won't matter when I'm playing.

But I will not take my business there anymore, and I will keep giving them hell until they acknowledge how scummy they are.

Fuck Fnac.

usually it's instantly. you buy it, you get it.

Should be instantly, you see the game in your "game library" on Amazon and the code is there.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

amazon.de has a micro sd sandisk card sale today! 200GB for 60€, 128GB for 31

Very different situation at Saturn in Salzburg. Very organised and neatly stacked in the middle between the aisles.

There were about 30 people waiting at the check-out, Switch in hand. One cashier said to the other: "What is this? I've sold about 100 of these today!". Then she looked at my Zelda copy and said "it looks like a new HEIDI! I see the mountains". Yep, Austrian Lady, that's the new Heidi.

Spoiler

I am not joking, btw. That is what she said.

I drove to Salzburg purely because I wanted a USK-less Zelda.

 

[Com Truise]

Yeah I just picked up a Switch in a Mediamarkt. They had like, 30 units for walk-in customers. pretty sure they're all gone now.

 

[m00h]

Sold out everywhere in Düsseldorf. At least in every Saturn, MediaMarkt and GameStop. Would appreciate any protips.

[ImboSlice]

Munich GAFer here. Amazon guy delivered it half an hour go. All set up now. I'm going in.

Happy release day to you all.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Switch has arrived at my Saturn and I'm on my way. No Abholbestätigung yet but they still have a couple of minutes lol

 

[m00h]

Müller, Intertoys, Toys r us? Otherwise I've no idea :/

On my way to Intertoys and REAL afterwards, thanks.

 

[deleted]

Yep, REAL is where I got my Wii back then. It was just lying aroung, even after all the other shops were cleared out.

 

[BilloExx]

Went to Saturn in Hannover for giggles.
Switch was sold out after 2 minutes , including BOTW ;D

 

[Zero148]

The Media Markt in Neuss (Moselstraße) had 50 consoles for on sale for everyone when I bought my pro controller 2h ago there. When I left there ere still plenty, maybe you have luck there

Have a call there and let you reserve one.

I'm still waiting for my Amazon delivery to the Packstation...

 

[funo]

for y'all you MediaMarkt pick-uppers - be fast, there's also this sh*t

(no, I'm not Herr Schmitt, blatantly stolen from Twitter)

 

[Bedameister]

I think I'll try Müller. Don't know if going to Saturn is even worth the hustle.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

I hope to god that they don't pull shit like that at Saturn 😡

 

[Backfoggen]

Gross

 

[oti]

Still Versand wird vorbereitet. Unless the delivery status is hilariously broken I won't get mine today. This should be a fun chat with support tomorrow. They guaranteed me twice I'd get it today.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

To be honest I'm kind of sweating now lol

 

[cw_sasuke]

Fuck.

Got trolled hard by DHL. Amazon shipment was supposed to be delivered to a Packstation... Guess what? Fucking station was already full know I have to wait till the next day to pick the system at a DHL shop.

Fuck.

PS. Hope you guys have fun with your new systems.

 

[User Tron]

No change on my amazon.fr order. So no Heidi this weekend :-(

 

[TikeMyson]

Same for me with the Pro Controller. Even though the onlineshop still says "sofort abholbereit".

 

[suavelicious]

Zelda + Pro Controller just arrived at home. Switch will arrive between 15.00 and 18.30 according to DHL. Will leave work at 14.30. Come on DHL, don't let me down!!

If saturn does that on me I will sue them... i was there yesterday, and my switch was there, so i could pick it up but i wasnt allowed cause Nintendo was really strict about that

 

[bahamut zero]

Got my gamestop one ;D

 

[Gambit]

Sorry to hear that.

Still waiting for the Hermes guy myself. Wish it had been regular post, but no, had to be Hermes.

Actually, I wish I hadn't preordered. When I picked up Zelda at Saturn they still had enough Switches...

 

[funo]

itshappening.gif

DO IT!

 

[Ladekabel]

Hermes was already here but delivered a package for my neighbours. Waiting for the DHL man or woman.

 

[Airbar]

Fuck.

Do you know where the package might end up? Had similar issues and just drove to DHL in the evening with an ID card and they handed me the package.

 

[jts]

Sure, blame DHL.

In any case I've made my peace with it. Next week it is.

 

[disap.ed]

I got confirmation yesterday that they have dispatched it, tracking still only shows "electronic data received" yet though
