Why did you even buy it if your only intention is to sell it, doesn't matter what price. You do know regional pricing exists because of the buying power of different countries, right? You're just exploiting a system. Hell, I'd maybe understand if people would actually play the damn game

I'm not going anywhere. Sorry, you don't like the reflection in the mirror I put in front of you. Oh wait, no, I'm not.

They know perfectly well, they just don't care, because "fuck you, got mine".

I can try with my second card. After the first purchase i went back to get Risk of Rain for a friend and it denied me i got a text from my bank asking me if this was a legit transaction, said yes and then denied it again. Might have to wait till i can contact them.

I bit on this and before I even knew the exchange rate. Got 4 games for $15.00 and now I feel like a privileged asshole. Hopefully they don't raise these prices for Argentinians.

Same issue here. Anyone willing to buy an Argentina Family plan off me? Puts me in a small bind haha

Alternatively, is it within NoA CS power to refund this, if I'm honest and ask nicely?? Or is there a South American only headquarters that deals with this (in which case I'd likely be out of luck...)

Also from Germany (they block EU based credit cards), anyone that could purchase Divinity 2 for me? Can PayPal or do an amazon.com gift card.

I didn't know Nintendo had (GOOD) regional prices for Argentina! That's awesome. If only Sony could do the same...

"Hubo un problema al procesar la transacción. Contacta al emisor de tu tarjeta de crédito o selecciona otro método de pago."

Same message with both my Revolut card and my Polish credit card. Oh well, this would have only added further to my backlog anyways.

Damn, no luck for me either (Germany as well). Anyone kind enough to buy Katana Zero, Hotline Miami and Cuphead for me? Will immediately pay back via PayPal.

From Spain and surprise! It doesn't work for me.
A shame, because I just wanted to buy Stardew Valley, a game that I believe it has never been on sale.
I would ask someone to buy it for me, but I've never used Paypal to send someone money (In fact, I've barely used Paypal at all since I made the account 10 years ago, so my knowledge about it it's kinda close to none).

It hasn't been working for a long ass time. It USED to work, but all these companies have caught wind of it. I used to buy stuff from Asian PSN stores with Revolut, but they blocked it.

Baaaaah :( Haven't used mine in a while and obviously since then they've hammered down on it.

Can this work for and are the discounts available on the Argentinian eShop, like it does with the other (SA, RU etc) regions?

Or are these discounts just on the web store?
Have the others but would love to grab RoR2.

Argentinia has no on-switch eshop, only the web store. They only send codes, no direct on console shopping.

For those living in Europe, the way I manage to get games from the Mexican eshop might work with this as well.

Basically, create a PayPal account for the regional eShop you want to pay (here Argentina) with an address from there as well, transfer funds from your own PayPal account to the one you just created (count in a few more cents because of transaction fees) and then pay stuff on the eShop.

I'll send $16 to whoever can grab me RoR2 ($8) so you can grab a copy too.

All done 🥰

Have someone in europe tried paypal?
The eshop is one of the only places i can use my paypal account (as in money inside paypal, and not "using your same credit card but with pay pal" fuck you steam).

Edit
Just searched, argentinian eshop doesnt have paypal option :(

If I bought Hollow Knight, I'd need to use their store to buy the DLC, right? I couldn't do it from the US Store?

I had stopped looking for region price differences since I heard that being a switch online member caused issues if you switched regions. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

The problem is that the Argentinian eShop doesn't support PayPal payment :/

There is no paid Hollow Knight dlc. It's all been free updates to the main game. Silksong is a separate game, not dlc.

On topic, this is a great deal. I'll be jumping on it soon. Will even be buying Celeste and Hollow Knight again to give to friends.

Worked with my Canadian TD Visa. Got Wargroove, Celeste, Risk of Rain 2, and Katana Zero for like $27, which is cheaper than RoR2 alone, not even counting all the gold points I got.
