Nintendo Switch Pre-orders under 200 quid (RRP 279.99)

**{{909}}** · 16th February 2017

I thought the RRP was significantly higher than this anyway, but it seems the official price is gonna be 279.99 (according to amazon.co.uk) but gameseek are currently taking preorders for a shade under 2 ton.

I know someone who said pre-ordered from Tesco for £279 :-0

Aye its not a bad price but I am trying to stop buying shit I never use and I reckon that is exactly what this would be.

Yeah early reports are that the 3rd party devs are not committing to it so you will only be able to get Nintendo games for it so only buy if you are a Mario nut ;-)

This, loved the Wii U (as in the games, the system interface, online etc. was absolute bollocks) so got burned by Nintendo then

I can see the exact same happening with the Switch, plus I dont want a portable gaming console (i would have bought a 3DS if i did) so im not overly impressed with what they are offering anyway
As much as I think the price is 'OK' - at £199.99 i would probably have ordered one when blind drunk but for now I will stick with my Xbox one

For me, 280 is justifiable. I love the Nintendo franchises bar a few and would buy it even if that's all it had. I'll probably end up with a US one here in China.

I have one of these pre ordered at £280 which is the price every other retailer is selling them for.

I believe Gameseek have done something similar before in offering stuff at low prices but in reality they do not have any at that price / the orders will not be fulfilled.

Willing to take a gamble for 200 notes.

If not will probably get one at release anyway, because Zelda.

Am tempted to bang an order with them myself and just return the more expensive one if they deliver
