I think scalper listings will tell us if there is demand for this. Because if no one's biting, they will stop scalping.

I am not expecting demand...but we'll see. The different screen and bigger storage alone is probably gonna be scalper worthy, lol.


Gamestop has a listing up (not available for purchase as of this post)

Nintendo Switch OLED with White Joy-Con | Nintendo Switch | GameStop
Thanks, I probably missed it. I havent had good pre order experiences with them, so I probably just outright dismissed them, lol.

Here's the thing about resellers - they're gonna buy as many as they get their hands on, and then if they aren't getting bites they'll cancel the orders. But you'd be amazing what 15 year old Timmy Reseller is willing to do for $10 profit per console on mommy and daddy's credit card lol.

If I pre order on GameStop online, can I go to my local GameStop to trade stuff in to put towards my online pre order?

Aside from the screen (which, who fucking cares), is there any reason to upgrade from a launch Switch?

beyond the screen in comparison to launch switch: better battery, double internal storage, improved kickstand, better speakers, lan port in dock. And not an "official" thing, but many launch switches had or developed "wobbly" joy con rails. that's been fixed in later iterations.

Me: "I really don't need this. I'm happy with my current Switch and any hardware upgrade I do this year should either be a Series S for the bedroom or a PS5 when the supply stabilizes."

Also me: *follows thread and refreshing Wario64 for when preorders go live.
