How much are you spending on a Switch day one?

Switch
Zelda SE
Screen Protector
Hori Case
Pro Controller

Luckily, I paid most of this with a gift credit card I received for my birthday. My amazon order glitched and I got Zelda SE for like $52 which is the price of the regular version of the copy. No idea what happened but I am happy.

Switch $300
Pro controller $45 (after visa check out)
Zelda $23 (after gcu Nd reward zone points)
Zelda guide $15
Switch case $15
Screen protector $10

$408 total. Thats a lot for one game, lol. Add $20 or whatever for snipperclipps if its a launch title and $10 next week for Blaster Master 0.
 
Grey Switch Console - $300 plus tax
Pro Controller - Not yet, will see how joycons work.
Joycon Neon Set - $80
Joycon Chargeable Grip - $30
Games (5):
Zelda - $48 (Best Buy GCU discounts)
Bomberman - $40
Skylanders - $48
Shovel Knight Treasure Trove - $25
Snipperclips - $20
Total in games is $181 + taxes

SD card - already had one from my old phone, 64gb, so that will do for now.
External battery - already own 3 of them, and seems will work just fine w Switch.
Carrying case - already have one similar enough, should fit the Switch nicely.
Extra USB-C cable - $5 on Amazon (checked the previous gaf list for it).

Total overall (excluding taxes) - $596 (not paying this much, had some other discounts/gift cards here and there, but its likely around $540 out of pocket)

Won't be spending a penny until more impressions of the system are out there and a game that actually seems worth my time releases.
 
Switch - $300
Zelda standard copy - $30 (used Best Buy's GCU + $20 gift card)
Zelda Master Edition - $130
Snipperclips - $20 (using gamestop trade-in credit to get this)
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - $25
Pro Controller - $70
128gb micro sd card - $40

I think that's about it, so around $600 not including tax. I might be able to get the Master Edition for cheaper if I return it to Best Buy and "re-buy" it at the reduced GCU price, that's what the customer service rep said. I might also pick up 1-2 Switch if the reviews are good.
 
Grey Switch (For Me) ~ $300
Neon Switch (For Wife) ~ $300
Zelda Special Edition ~ $85 GCU
Zelda Regular Edition ~ $50 GCU
Shovel Knight ~ $25
FAST RMX ~ $20
Pro Controller ~ $70
Case ~ $20

After tax a little over 900.
Wife and I have been saving since seeing Zelda at E3 though so we are good to go.

I have $500 (CAD) in Best Buy gift cards, so I'm not nearly as screwed as I otherwise might me for this launch. Still spending acouple hundred on Zelda, pro controller and an extra set of joycons, but otherwise it's not so bad.

Final reckoning is:

320€ - Switch (Gray)
10€ - Case (actually neoprene bag)
60€ - Zelda BotW
70€ - Procon
25€ - Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove
20€ - Snipperclips(? demo first)
18€ - Bluetooth transmitter (in case it's useful, if not I have other uses in mind)
2€ - Pack of 5 Micro USB female to USB-C male mini adapters (there's no way this is decent for the price)
Free - Switch shirt (Amazon promo)
Lying around my house somewhere - 64GB mSD card (new, crappy)

Total: 525€ and a house search

Ouch. But still not quite five hundred and ninety nine us dollars.

Canceled Switch pre-order: $0
Canceled BoTW Switch pre-order: $0
Zelda BoTW WiiU: $65.39

I was hype, but it deflated. I'll play BoTW on my WiiU and get the Switch during the holidays.

Apparently Best Buy thinks I want to spend 3 times my normal amount. I ordered the console and Zelda standard for the Switch and the Wii U all together. I also ordered a Zelda Masters Edition as a separate order and then a pro controller separate.

Well The charged me for all 3 orders and so far everything but the console has shipped. Now I see another charge for the total of the console and 2 games, the 2 games separate and then another for the console separate. I assume it's just pre auths and charging differences due to different packing and shipping them but still.
