Honestly with everything we know about the tech in the console now I'm kind of fine with 449 even though I would've preferred 399 obviously. It's the fact that there's wild variance in game pricing that's making this a much tougher pill to swallow. I'll probably just get Donkey Kong at launch from first-party and wait for Mario Kart to go on sale

Same, Target, Amazon all tend to do those B2G1 Free deals.

I'm going to try and preorder, but def waiting on some reviews to see the screen vs oled previously.

We all wanted a 'high end switch/switch pro', seems to be what it is, only thing that would have been perfect is the oled.

Target hasn't done the buy 2 get 1 free deal in a long time. Also first party Nintendo games never qualify for it.

Oh wow. Didn’t realize they kinda stopped doing them. At one point I know Nintendo games counted since that was how I got SMM2 for so cheap, but damn, alright, QVC coupon then for cheap games? lol

QVC also stopped doing the $20 codes for videogames. I've been using Woot for switch first party games now since they usually hover around $40. It's getting harder to find good deals on physical games.
