I picked it up pre ordered on launch date, though I didn't have an original Switch.

Thing is a modern marvel of technology that's so simple to put together even I didn't have problem with it. The OLED screen is gorgeous.

I tried many times to order it on Amazon, but I could never get further than confirming my address before it went out of stock again.

I put my preorder in within minutes of it becoming available. That window lasted 15-20minutes.

I've heard future windows to pop up have been even shorter. The consensus was if you didn't preorder it day 1 you weren't getting it at alm for months.

Like once it's up you have a minute or two to snipe it. By the time someone else has told you it's up, it's too late. So basically all you can do is singlemindedly troll their pages on various sites, which sounds... Tedious.

I got it as my first switch and I'm loving it. It took me a bit to figure out you take the cover off and that's whree the HDMI stuff goes but after that it's been a breeze. I super love the grip it comes with to make a small controller because I have small hands so the grip with the joycons in it fits me perfectly.

I also like the white/black scheme a lot better than the red/blue/black of the original.

I don't need it. I have an OLED Vita. I think that's how it works...

It's still crazy how the Vita had an OLED almost a decade ago and the Switch didn't launch with one

it's not crazy when you consider XBox and Sony have had competent online features since 2007 and Nintendo still doesn't.

I really wanted to get one (and could have; I was front of the line at GameStop) but just got a PS5 so a new Switch when my current one is perfectly fine wasn't in the cards at the time.

There's no added value in this version if I play exclusively in docked mode, right?

The ability to update the dock and also a built-in LAN port. But otherwise, correct.

From different vendors. Amazon delivery is trash, though their customer service may give you six free months of Prime if you ask for them. They REALLY dropped the ball here, losing an expensive parcel like that.

P.S. I have no interest in an OLED model - the original Switch is good enough for my needs!

It's really nice. It's great to not have the black sections on screen constantly give off a dull, grey light. When the screen goes Black on the OLED laying in bed at night, the whole room goes pitch black. It was kind of jarring at times.

Kickstand is great if you're into that too. Sounds quality is good too. At first I though the brightness was pretty weak, but it defaults to have it auto set. After turning that off I was able to rightfully blow my retinas out.

I haven't run out of space on my Switch but I think I bought a good spacious microSD card along with it. And it's not exactly a system with a lot of big installs compared to any of the others.

Target just shipped out my Switch, expected for Saturday delivery. WOO.

Seriously considering canceling my Prime membership. I've had two expensive items lost in delivery in the past month.

It does really bug me though that I wasn't IDed at all. I took it out both forms of ID ot said to bring and she didn't even bother to check the driver's license or card that were right in front of her. It was very poor.

There were still 8 of them on the rack when I got there. It felt like anyone who had an order number could've just walked up and claimed one when it belonged to someone else.

Um

So after fedex temporarily lost my package i called both them and target to say wtf. They said to wait a few more days. I did and followed up, said to wait more. Got it the next day, dropped the issue.

Just got an email that they're refunding the full price.

If that happens I'll give it away to someone here.
