How soon did you register to be on the interest list? It is supposed to be in chronological order among those who met the NSO requirements. I'm in a family plan so I didn't meet the qualifications.

Basically immediately after the Direct.

If you are the one paying for the plan it probably counts. If you are on someone else's family plan, it doesn't count. I'm splitting the cost of a family plan with friends and I'm not the person directly paying for the plan so I'm not qualified. I already have a in-store pre-order so it doesn't really matter for me. I was registered as a backup plan.

I got the invite but I should probably just stick to my console-only preorder at Gamestop. Put money down on it already.

It says on the email that it's not transferable. I don't know if I entered my address in advance or what, but it's probably not doable without exchanging money somehow.

If someone really wants to, we can try. Still don't know if I can change the shipping address though, and I'd guess most people interested are still in the running for an invitation anyway. By the way, it says mine expires May 17th 1:40PM PST.

I'm half considering waiting in line at GameStop for the launch. But they open the line at 4pm and I KNOW people are going to be chilling around before then and I just don't feel like killing 12ish hours for this thing just to get it on launch day.

Was thinking of trying out Best Buy's midnight, but yeah will probably just end up hoping they aren't too hard to get after launch.

The GameStop e-mails confused me, so I stopped in the store to ask how it works. At that store, the clerk explained that at 3pm those who are there will receive a number and pay for the Switch 2, and then you need to come back at 11 pm to actually pick up the Switch 2. You are NOT expected to wait at the store the entire time from 3pm to 11 pm. The clerk said there would be a "handsome" amount of Switch 2's there.

I did not get a preorder, and I'm undecided if I wanna try to get one this way or not. It doesn't work great with my work schedule, though I could take the afternoon off I guess. I did put my name on the Nintendo Store preorder list the same day that came out, so I imagine I can get one eventually there.

I've never preordered a console in my life, but after difficulties getting a PS5 and Switch 1 even months or years after launch, I thought it might be just as easy to get now as in the future. It'd be nice to play the new Mario Kart when it comes out, and I do have some travel coming up in June/July so it would be nice to have, but I still got a decent backlog of Switch 1 games anyway.

Isn't that a big reason to get a Switch 2 soon? So you can play enhanced versions on Switch 2 I mean.

Okay, THIS I can definitely at least try for.

My card also got declined for Walmart but I approved the card from my CC and didn't update on Walmart. It hasn't been retried yet which is making me nervous but looking online it seems like a lot of people experiencing this. People said they talked to Walmart support and they said it would charge again when it ships.

Staples is getting some Switch 2 if you live near one it might be less known they sell gaming stuff:

Each store is probably getting less than 5 of each bundle though.

I called the GameStop and there's nobody in line atm and I asked about where I'd go since it's in a mall. Thinking I go at 6 and if I beat the line I'll cancel my online order

Got a call about my Gamestop store doing a midnight release and if I don't make it there, have 5 days to pick up my preorder. Which works out because I have to wake up early Thursday, and my day is so slammed I might not even be able to go until Friday. Though I am slightly fearful that they'll somehow sell my preorder and be empty-handed if I show up late, lol...

Also, I am hoping somebody who picks it up will be able to help me, if you can let me know the length of the lengthiest part of the box that'd be appreciated - I'm planning to bring my own bag since stores have gone even more bagless since I bought my PS5 (and also can't recall if I was even given a bag when I bought it or not). Don't want to take any chances and would like to confirm the box will fit in the bag i'm planning to bring. thanks!

someone got disappointing message from Canada Computers

https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoGameDealsCanada/comments/1l3ax2v/comment/mw1l2fr/

Called Canada Computers support, I was told that apparently they got an update from the product manager that while they plan to ship out Switch 2s within the month, they probably won't have them within a week
Guy sounded disappointed too, told me he's also been waiting for the preorder Hope he can get his too!
Gonna try a backup plan then, probably gonna try to get one from the Walmart restock, at least I have plenty of time to find a replacement and cancel the CC one I guess

Good thing I had the foresight to make this lineup here just in case, I'm 3rd/4th depending if the first pair are buying one each or not
