I can't believe I got one honestly. I was not that diligent about refreshing. I just happened to check this thread at the right time.
Are you sure? Cause here in Italy the DS4 is 69.99 msrp, just like this one. You can obviously find it for less but that will certainly be the case for this controller as well (i paid 39 for the Wii U Pro Controller, and that was 55-60 Msrp iirc).
Switch pro controller also packs some fancy tech in (like the HD Rumble) and battery lasts like 6-7x as much.

Fucking hell.
If anyone around here needs one and I can land one at Best Buy, I'll happily give up my pre-order to a Gaffer.

Yeah, I think the Switch Pro Controller is *a little* higher than it needs to be, but it's not crazy. Every controller for the last few generations, on every console, has been $60 at lunch for the most part. That was the price of the Xbox 360 controllers, the Dualshock 3, the Dualshock 4, and the Xbox One controller. It was also the combined price of a Wii Remote + Nunchuck. With the motion-aiming, the HD rumble, the built-in NFC, and the strong battery life, I can't really feel like I'm getting ripped off that badly with the extra $10 here.

... I hate people sometimes.
Clearly that guy ordered 2 and is trying to get 2x money for his second one so he basically is getting it for free.

Anybody know what the proper category is to report this on Ebay? I tried and can't find it. You can't sell anything more than 30 days from release.
Anyway, glad I got mine preordered. Looking forward to it.

I think gamestop may have them. Im gonna stop by after work so like in 4 hours or so. I did preorder an extra joy con set and said he'll call me when I can switch it over so we'll see on lunch.

Yep, definitely calling a NES Classic-level sellout on practically everything Switch related outside of software. I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't expect Switch hardware to be on shelves and readily available until sometime in the fall. Definitely losing interest fast simply because I won't be able to get the damn thing.

Sadly all you can do is if gamestop puts it available on the site is to call the store and ask im in the same position you are everything i have is pre-ordered in store at gamestop would love to get this at the same store.

You are correct... I'm not sure if that makes me hate him more or less... I'm going to go with more.
Got one through Amazon Japan as well, from what people are saying shipping should only be 2-3 days.

Can't believe I managed to get one. They were up for only like 15 minutes! People really want this controller and Nintendo knows it.
I saw a comment on Twitter about a guy who preordered 3 so that he can sell them on ebay and "make some loot". Idiot...

I happened to snag one 14 minutes after Wario Tweeted about them. Thought for sure I'd missed out.
I really hope the Pro Controller is worth the cost. With the Switch, BotW, & Pro Controller, I'm up to $456 already.

Hooray
Bet Nintendo makes less than 20,000 pro controllers for 2.5 million switch units.

Ugh...really wanted one. Guess I'll have to use the grip.
These guys are annoying as hell.
Luckily I got one, I was a tick away from missing out cause I was at the grocery store and just happened to refresh on my phone.
What would you even report it for? People sell preorder items all the time on eBay. Even stores.
You sure? I remember both the Wii U and Wii pro controllers were notoriously hard to find even months after launch

There is a 30 day before release rule though.

It's an Ebay policy that you can't sell anything before 30 days of release. Did you even read my post?

Ok good. The buttons on the JoyCon look borderline microscopic lol.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This is what happens when most of your fans (and early adopters in general) are core gamers, yet the console doesn't include a traditional controller.
