I got an email from gameseek this morning say they will have the switch on for 199 again in batches!
He posted it here first to be fair:
But it doesn't even matter as HOtUKDeals are too quick anyway CLICK ME
Glad I got an order in just incase. What pisses me off is with no order limit per customer, people will order 20 of them, I guarantee it. Infact just wait for someone "gloating" they ordered 100 lol
Will they just e-mail the download code or something?

Yeah wasn't thinking, was too busy spreading the love. Anyway someone got there before me and mine was deleted.
Yup I got mine for £199 back at launch.
Set a random UK address for shipping.

That's typically how this works, yeah. HUKD getting on it in addition to the gaf mob probably means we're all getting cancellations though, haha.
thats what has me thinking they'll honour it - its a smaller discount than they've honoured before.
Funnily enough, I got the same error message as I am Danish and probably registered when I still lived there.
Hopefully Amazon will honour the price.
Shit like that pisses me off. I did say though.... I hope they're not fulfilled if it stops people like that.

Yeah I got that, plus Rayman Origins and Luminees Vita for £6 at launch.

Eh. They can just cancel the listing completely and start over instead of adjusting the price.
Ordering multiple is just asking them to cancel all your orders. Always play it safe and go with one when it comes to extreme misprices.

They have to, they have honoured far more extreme price errors in the past.
It's unavailable now, but I have a feeling they'll be honoured as it's been stopped pretty quickly.
Yeah I take the same approach as you, only order one.
edit: the price is still the same, could it be simply that they're "unavailable" due running out of copies??

On the fence about keeping my Switch pre-order, if this goes through I'm 100% getting it, if not I think I'll cancel, doesn't seem like stock issues are anywhere near as bad I imagined and I don't need to play day one.
So your call Amazon, you either get £282 out of me or zero, let's see what happens.

I hope the "Unavailable" message is because they spotted the mistake before mass orders ensued and not because once it was posted on hotukdeals they sold out in an instant! Would love a 2 quid digital copy of the game!

I use a US NNID, so I'm not even sure if I'll use the code if Amazon honours it. I plan to stick to the North American My Nintendo account.
Right with you there, nice little bonus for launch day
With multiple accounts being a thing, I'm really hoping you can just redeem this on some EU NNID tied to the console as primary and use it on your US, but we just don't know.
I was wondering the same, but the price is now gone, so they realize it was a mistake.
Expect emails informing us if it's cancelled.
Nope, and I got one with the Switch pre-order so that's not a good sign...
Hope re-ignited lol
Nah, you don't on digital pre-orders

Ah, cool. I was wondering about that. Mine is still valid in my account so I guess we will find out in a few hours.
Cheers. Fingers crossed.

If not, I'll probably just sell it so I can buy the US copy.
The lockers have a size and weight limit. Also I imagine a capacity limit (one locker per order and a mix of small and larger ones).
My pre order Switch is in fact booked to a locker delivery. No game so that might be under the size limit.
