March 3rd. I picked the free shipping as a Prime member.By the way, for the people that got a preorder date, whats your estimated delivery date?
Mine is March 8-11, I thought they would deliver on launch day

Can we stop bumping this thread? Every time I see it I think "YESSSS!!..... oh....ugh..."
People keep saying this, but at this point, this thread is basically a convenient hub for everyone to discuss what's going with Switch-related stuff at Amazon, and occasionally other places, instead of just literally only being there to inform others when the Switch itself gets back in stock.
You could always make a new thread (Seems more productive than people making new threads for each of the various stuff being talked about in here) that specifically informs others when the Switch is available again and nothing else, but for now, I don't really see what the big deal is. It's not even the most efficient way to learn when it's back in stock.
That's just me though.
It'll likely fit the straps in the pouch inside the case since it's designed to carry the game & SD card cases included with it, but not actually attached to the Joy-Cons. I don't think any case will offer that utility simply due to ergonomics.
It's been mentioned already many times, but there's better tools online for receiving notification of stock. This thread has long since been a general discussion of Amazon Switch products and alternatives offered by other stores not available on Amazon.

It still sucks that gaf doesn't allow console mega threads anymore, because I have no idea where else to ask this question, so I thought I'd try this thread.
Does anyone know if GameStop allows you to apply a gift card to your existing preorders? Even if I have to call them? It's not as if the Nintendo Switch can be canceled, and reordered, but I'd like to put a gift card balance towards it.

I actually stopped at my Walmart today for this reason. They had a little stand in the electronics section explaining the preorder process(put 10% down, pay it off, etc). I asked the electronics person if I would be guaranteed a Switch on launch day, and she told me it would be not long after launch.

Should I trade in my pink 3DS XL to Gamestop for $120 toward my Switch? I never play my 3DS

No. You'll regret it later.
Meh, my mindset is to never trade in a console/handheld for an upgrade that can't play its games. You never know...

March is going to be a bloodbath.

I'd say yes at this point unless you're into Fire Emblem.

I'm pretty sure this the licensed case by Hori and not the official case from Nintendo. Also, I'm
Not sure if Nintendo's case has room for cartridges. But I do know that the case included with the Special/Master edition of Zelda: BotW does hold cartridges.
To each their own, I think it's the best looking Zelda themed case.
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is the best album I've ever listened to.
The Switch helps to alleviate the pain of waiting for LP5.

It'll only go down in price, right?
I like it too, but I prefer the Blue Link tunic. I'm sure I'll alternate between the two.

If they never play it, why have it? I've done that and have no regrets. In fact, now it's a good time to trade/sell since you'll be getting a decent price out of it. The value will drop once the Switch comes. It always does.
As I said, you never know when the compulsion to play an old game will hit you. It's happened to me before. Hell, it's happening to me right now as I want to play Nier on the 360. (I didn't trade it in, but it broke down.) And when it does hit you, the last thing you want to do is purchase a console/handheld you had already owned before. At least, that's my train of thought.
But to each their own of course, it's his stuff.
Amazon Spain has it and it's 10 euro cheaper than France
Nope, won't do it. I couldn't believe I got a Neon console and I'm scared to do anything to mess up the order.
Speaking of which, this preorder business is stressful as hell. I'm at the point where it's not even about the Switch anymore, I just want it work.

I regret getting rid of every console. Trust me, keep it around. You'll be glad you did later.

Does anyone know which cases will fit the Switch with the joycons attached?
...All of them?
From what I've seen, every case does.
I'm pretty sure this the licensed case by Hori and not the official case from Nintendo.
Also, I'm
Not sure if Nintendo's case has room for cartridges. But I do know that the case included with the Special/Master edition of Zelda: BotW does hold cartridges.
Yep, that's Hori's pouch from some leaked documents containing Hori products:

I've been concerned that some of them might pass off "you can fit the Switch with detached joycons" as acceptable.

hmmm
I think 4 cartridges are enough. Total of 5 games. I don't think I'd ever need to take more than 5 with me wherever I go. Current game I'm playing, something like Mario Kart, Super Smash, and possibly two other Switch exclusives I might want to play.
Nintendo knows: "this accessory comes with a USB Type-C connector and a USB Type-C cable that allows you to charge both controllers.

I like how when I pasted the quote it automatically added the "read more" and the link.

I ordered a carrying case and tempered glass but I need that Hori Snap & Go ASAP. I remember having one of those for my PSP and it really is the option for protecting the screen and body.
I would...I did. It all becomes clutter to me.
It shouldn't, no. Especially not if you're in the US.
I wouldn't risk it, I cancelled an item yesterday in an order that includes the Joy-Con Charging Grip and it got bumped down to delivery date pending
seems any change gets you bumped

Any word on red/blue preorders coming up?
Nope. The better strategy is to sign up for notifications at nowinstock.net and just wait.

Is PDP a good case? Sorry it prob has been mention already.
I wouldn't count on them being stocked unless there's a region wide restock. It seems the Switch is just sold out period as of the moment.
Walmart has that layaway program of theirs, but it's not exactly concrete nor known to be reliable considering the NES Classic situation.

Hope stock returns for you all. I feel so lucky to have mine ready.
I would call. I think they can help with you with that. Shouldn't be difficult. Maybe in the store they could help.

Don't risk it unless you absolutely have to. And even then, call first.
I mean, Amazon is either saving their stock or they never had a single Neon system in the first place, which sounds odd to me when we had 3 continuous hours or something like that of the grey one being available within the first 2 days after the conference. IMO they're saving them for closer to release.
They were up the same time the Switch was up for pre-order the first time (And for a while after) but I've only seen the Grey ones still up.

Damn an alternative to the the Pro controller for like half the price? Is that right? Jesus I don't care how good the pro controller is, as long as that's halfway decent it's a steal.
Amazon never getting the Neon systems isn't exactly too far-fetched when it seems the Neon systems were lower stocked than the Grey systems across the board. I mean, it's possible Amazon opens them up closer to release, but I don't think it will be because they've just been sitting on them this whole time.
