Yes. It's why I've steered clear of the deal. I like all my games to be UK/Irish PAL.

Could you not get a high quality print of the Irish/UK box art done?

Doesn't really matter to people who just want to play the games rather than collect anyway right

I'm a player, not a playa, who also has amassed a bit of a collection.
But I'm not obsessed with region or boxes, quite happy to have a variety of formats, regions, cases and so on, rather than some anti-septic shelves of regularity keeping my OCD at bay.

My OCD kicks in at the thought that I don't own enough copies of Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast.

That game is just.... gold....

Good thing you don't collect Megadrive/Snes games, PAL versions are uniformly the weakest region to collect for.

Japanese md carts are ugly though, I was such a crazy kid chopping off the sides to fit them in then figured Snip the tiny part on the console and all games fit in no prob, ON That NOT I miss my megajet and nomad so much.

Tried again, zelda, splatoon and kart and 158.

I give up

Splatoon 2 isn't showing up as one of the games in the 3 for 2 category anymore. It was definitely on the list a day or two ago. List seems to be the same apart from that.

Yeah I bagged it the other day so was definitely there previously.

My games only shipped last night after a Monday order despite all showing as in stock in the intervening period. Should arrive Monday hopefully.

Did you get any emails from Amazon?

Mario + Rabbids arrived with the Switch for me but Mario Odyssey was delayed. They sent me an email saying there would be delays. I also got one from DHL saying it would be arriving Monday the 11th.

I got Odyssey before I got my switch. Rabbids was supposed to be delivered 3 days ago, then Wednesday. Expected date hasn't moved since then, tracking says it's in Dublin the last 3 days but not moving for some reason. They have said to contact them if it is doesn't arrive by Tuesday. Any other time of the year I'd not worry. Que sera sera.

Got odyssey Tuesday and the switch and rabbids Wednesday. Odyssey came from amazon.fr via DHL and the others through An Post.

Monopoly (Nintendo Switch) is £20 on Amazon UK.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072V56JJS/

They fixed the loading time issues, still there's not a lot of boards to choose from and it reviewed badly. Price and the loading times were factors in the scores, not the only ones mind you.

So the german Amazon deal has finished and I missed it. Any ideas what's the cheapest way to get a Switch with Zelda, Odyssey and Mario Kart (or something similar for a 2 player game)? Doesn't seem to be many deals going at the moment (which is annoying as I actually had the black Friday amazon bundle in my basket but for some reason chickened out on buying it...).

My games arrived from .de yesterday. German packaging as expected. All three started up automatically in English despite slight worries over Splatoon 2 being region locked (it is, but EU is the region in this case with multiple languages supported).

Pity Nintendo Europe didn't put a cart version of Bayonetta 1 into the CE here like in Japan.

Unfortunately the Japanese CE is sold out.

I wouldn't pay €3.99 for it. From IGN:

The WWE series hits rock bottom with this nearly unplayable Switch port

:pac:

I watched a review of it last night and it runs woefully on Switch.
