... you bought one after July 17. Not completely free as you have to pay to ship your old unit to them.

Fuck. Just a few days off for me, since I got it on the 15th.

Maybe I can talk to some support reps and see if I can't haggle my way to an upgrade.

That's cool. I bought mine day 1 so I can understand not giving the launch window people a nice loyalty reward.

Day 1 for me, as well...

Remember when Nintendo rewarded early adopters of the 3DS and then decided to reward very late adopters of the Switch? I don't get it

This is neat but I've not bought one yet. Given they have upgraded the Switch I'll wait on buying one. I was going to wait anyway so this is more reason. This is why buying tech on day one is pointless for me.

Of you've waited this long, a little longer won't hurt. Might as well see they realize a better version. Like a pro or something.

It's never a bad thing to wait. I'll do the same with PS5. We will probably see a PS5 Pro is a couple of years.

All those people that were on the fence about getting a Switch that got one this year... doesn't make sense, especially after the updated and mini model rumors that were floating around for months

What I really dont get is why Nintendo are still charging full price for the old ones.. either stop hoping uninformed people will buy them by taking them off store shelves or slash $25-$45 off the price

With the Switch improving the battery life is great. However I don't bother with upgrades if I already own the console unless my console dies. However if buying new I see no reason not to get the latest version unless the price is a big difference.

True. I did end up getting an improved 360 after mine died just cause red ring of death wasnt as big of a concern on them.

With the switch I doubt id ever leave the house with it so battery life isnt as much a issue for me personally.

I've turned on my Nintendo Switch a total of 7 times.

I'd sell it if I wasn't so lazy.

The 3DS' price drop was a matter of acknowledging that they had priced it too high for the market, with the Ambassador program being a way to thank people for buying it despite that and apologizing for slashing the price so soon after they did so. The Switch, on the other hand, has had no such difficulties getting off the ground. Your reward for being an early adopter is the 2.5 years of fun you've had with your Switch so far; this exchange program (if it were true) would be an effort to build trust with customers by demonstrating that they wouldn't have to worry about missing out on an upgrade in the immediate future if they were to buy a non-upgraded one now. It's not so much a reward as it is diminishing the sting of narrowly missing an upgrade.
