    The RRP is €229 though? Why buy from you for more when you get a warranty with the shop and zero hassle if something does go wrong, however unlikely.

    I've sold the real Switch for €330-350 twice last Xmas even though it was that in shops, people are strange but they sell.

    CeX and Smyths have closed CeX is offering online buying and trading the way we buy our physical games is gonna change significantly if bricks and mortar stores are closed.

    I think I have enough in the pile to keep me going for... some time...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,201 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    I do too

    €100 eshop credit two switches two animal crossing and 25 other switch games including skyrim botw snack world and a still unfinished three houses all I need is a Walter White cook suit for protection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    I got Luigis Mansion in Smyths yesterday. Just in time by the looks of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭RedRochey


    Ordered a switch on Sunday from Symths, looks like it'll be delivered tomorrow, I must've been one of the last by the looks of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,781 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    CeX and Smyths have closed CeX is offering online buying and trading the way we buy our physical games is gonna change significantly if bricks and mortar stores are closed.

    I'm okay with used games but used consoles I'm not a fan of, but damn am I tempted with this because I've also got ~€100 worth of games to trade in, but based on past online experience with CEX I'd be waiting a week for my credit for the traded games, and another week for delivery by which time I probably could have got a new one which I would still probably prefer

    It's all my own fault really because I bought a Switch last March and sold it come June because I'd played through all the games I wanted by then and put it up at a price well above what the bundle was worth and I got a buyer, I only lost about €60 on everything I bought with Switch inc Mario Kart, Pokemon Lets Go and Mario Odyssey (about €25 of this alone was actually the Pokeball Plus which sold separately along with Pokemon)

    I'm after ordering a grey Switch from Amazon France just under €350 delivered 7 working days for delivery I think my last order from there was delivered by AnPost hoping it will arrive in the current environment.
    Went for the grey one as it's the second revision with the newer processor and better joy con battery life they had the neon in second revision but wouldnt ship to Ireland but they will sell the original Rev 1 Neon Switch which will ship. Just need to find cheapest place for Animal crossing now :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,540 ✭✭✭✭Mr E

    Seeing as you bought it from France, you'll need an adapter for the outlet provided. You may already have one, but thought I'd remind you, just in case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,202 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    I know a lot of people are looking for the Switch and can't find it in stock anywhere. Here's one though, Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Console for £320. You'll probably need to act fast if you want it.

    https://www.studio.co.uk/shop/en/studio/nintendo-switch-animal-crossing-console

    Free UK delivery on your first app order over £20. So just add the cost of AddressPal or Parcel Motel.

    Cheapest place to buy the switch lite? Seems out of stock in a lot of online stores like Argos and Smyths

    You should be paying €210 for the Switch Lite. Don't pay thieves like Currys/PC World €230. Well, it's up to yourselves, but I wouldn't.

    Is the Argos deal gone? I got 2 Switch Lite's and 2 AC and they were €235 each.

    All stores that sell this stuff is closed in Ireland.

    You could try some of the bigger Tesco stores. You never know.

    Switch Lites are available for delivery on Currys website.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,781 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    I think Argos are closed,

    Wonder will they embrace online delivery a bit more in this climate? Others like Currys and Smyths who are competitors in certain products have it already established and will clean up in the coming weeks and months

    That's just it Argos in the UK do online delivery, here they don't. Another plus for the UK is they have a website that actually works.

    Order from Argos UK and have it delivered to Parcel Motel?

    I'd say that will work actually, but as with any electronics you could easily have some problems with it and it would be serious hassle to fix, depending on how tempted I get today I might still do that mind

    Just got Guilty Gear accent XX super deluxe banana hammock all-star sengoku bash bash from the Japanese store for 100 yen (it's a long title and I forgot most of it). I don't think that's more than a euro. I have no interest in the game but it was so cheap and I was on a high after setting up my Japanese account... Also Gotcha racing 2 for the same price. Looks like at least 90c worth of micromachines-esque fun!
