Might be a good option for anyone looking for a stand for their Switch

On lightning deals today and Switch is listed on the compatible devices (good to know as it is a good bit thicker than standard tablets).

Yep seen them before, I actually used to use one of those on a modded PS3 at one point. The other side of it is, with the clone SATA adapters you can use larger and more modern hdd's. With IDE, it's quite limiting.

Beware! The small print says you need to have a registered address in the UK, so account hopping may not work here.

But combine that with the birthday 30% off bonus... Kaching!

I haven't had a chance to try that offer, but for any prospective eShop tourists, my last credit card purchase through the south african Nintendo site showed up as a purchase from Nintendo of Europe, which suggests the small print on the offer will be satisfied so definitely give that offer a go!

I tried the PayPal Euro offer to add €20 eShop credit but it doesn't seem to have worked. So I've now got €20 credit that cost me €20....

Shut up you imbecile! PayPal hasn't rolled out to ZA yet. And the 5er off doesn't make up for the awesome prices on ZA. Might still work on Norway?

Today only, a few retailers are dropping the price of the Nintendo Switch by £20, something about National Gaming Day I think.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch-Neon-Red-Blue/dp/B01N4NBHPM/

GAME are doing the same as well supposedly, but they're scum as far as I'm concerned so I won't be posting a link to their site. So that's £260, which is about €290 delivered I think through Amazon, saving €40 compared to Irish retailers. More links here to other retailers:

Nintendo Switch from as low as £255 this week
Amazon, Tesco and GAME all have offers.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-09-12-jelly-deals-nintendo-switch-from-as-low-as-255-this-week

Apparently, September 12th (today) has been named National Video Games Day. Who knew?

Has it shipped yet? Amazon usually charge you the lower price if it's dropped before shipping.

Not yet. I can still cancel it. I'll pop them an email and inquire. They're usually first class for customer service.

I ordered Scorpio a few weeks ago and Amazon issues a £20 off £150 spend the next day. I emailed CS and they added it there and then for me.

Just off with them there. I was told they can't price match so I just cancelled the order and reordered.

Didn't Amazon have a dodgy courier when shipping gaming items to Ireland?

Aeriandi?
They are terrible, but if Amazon haven't shipped it yet then Aeriandi haven't been given the opportunity to be terrible yet. They deserve a fair chance!

@Ciderman - that's what you get for Super Saving. Go buy a snickers with the delivery charge you saved, see if that lasts you the 2 weeks you're going to have to wait

It's not like I don't have other things to play, such as Rayman Legends on the WiiU!

I didn't get an option to post it any other way

I ordered the Switch from Amazon last night. When I saw the price was £259.99 today, I sent an email to their customer service asking what they could do for a loyal customer. I got a £25.99 Goodwill refund. It's always worth asking or complaining with Amazon. I would've been happy with account credit.

It's much cheaper than buying one over here. They're still charging €369.99 in Argos, €329.99 everywhere else. There's plenty of stock about too.

Worked for me. It has to apply to your account first. Go to PayPal website and click the place you click to see all your cards and bank accounts linked, it should be at the bottom, then link up your PayPal with your eshop/Nintendo account, and buy the 20 euro.

Do you need a code to activate this offer? It's not showing up for me when I add to basket, maybe it's over?

Anyone ordered of the official Nintendo store when buying their switch? Any hassles with returns? Tempted by the 2 year warranty even though Tesco are cheaper at the moment.

Rayman was shipped last night, obviously they are working late in Chez Amazon.
Says I should have it tomorrow, at which point it goes in the pile of games I have yet to play.

So the rush was to ensure it got it's rightful place on that pile?
uh..... good job?

the Lego site is selling the Wii U Dimensions starter pack for £23 + £4 delivery, + Parcel Motel 'cause they don't deliver to Ireland. OK, it's starting to get expensive again... BUT! If you spend £50 they'll waive delivery, and you can get Ghostbusters and Joker+Harley and a few other packs for £7.50, a few figures for £3.50.....
