You aint gonna be paying any less regardless of how long you wait, of that you can be sure. I'll welcome you when you pay too much 5 years from now 😀
I feel confident bug testing joycon. I never got drift on my Switch over 8 years. I learned it doesnt happen if you're not rough with it, and Im not (my brother is and he had both joycon get drift- that's when I realized it would never be a problem for me). Besides which they lost countless millions replacing them for free. I guarantee they'll have taken abundant precautions to ensure they don't lose money like that again. And they said they redesigned ground up with durability in mind. The sticks are different now as they're larger so its not like they're using the same sticks.

@MontyCircus Good luck, everywhere I've tried is not taking pre-orders if you can find one please let us know.
The jury is still out for me, I think the console price itself is reasonable but game cartridges aren't but if I could find a copy of MKW for a few extra quid off the price then I'd still be interested.
I will buy it, but in general I absolutely despise preorder culture. When I eventyally see one in a shop I will get it, avoiding the stress that my preorder will be cancelled, avoiding all the day one tech issues, seeing what is worth buying and what is not, and possibly seeing games or add ons receive a price cut from brick and mortar retailers.
Realistically the only game I want at launch is MKW, so I can wait.
Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?
@1UP_MARIO Amazon are ending the invite only pre order soon and I believe curry's is in store only. Smyths and Very seem to have the most stock I was getting notifications all day yesterday.
@1UP_MARIO Tried all of those, none are taking pre-orders.
I was undecided on the Switch 2 at launch but I guess that the decision has now been made for me.
@Dhaladog@1UP_MARIO I've just got a second one from smyths and argos have stock atm. If you download the hotstock app it's actually rather easy to secure one.
Well after all the nit-picking I've done about the price of it's software I've gone ahead and bought one along with a physical copy of MKW, good old Argos! the extra bits and pieces are going to have to wait a bit though although I think I'll have to buy a screen protector for it.
@Dhaladog Nice congrats😄, I don't imagine you'll have an issue with argos but maybe consider a back up option just in case. Some stores don't require payment upfront to secure the order worth considering.
@Hapless Thought what the heck, I've dove straight in so why not get myself a controller and Micro SD express card (Argos is offering them at a very good price) as well, now all I need is a whole host of first party games to fill that Nintendo void.
@Dhaladog I also got the controller I'm just waiting for the case to come back in stock then I'm all set for launch 😎. I've got MKW and the Zelda upgrades to keep me occupied.
I learned it doesnt happen if you're not rough with it, and Im not (my brother is and he had both joycon get drift- that's when I realized it would never be a problem for me).
All those folks with Joy-Con drift can't all be misusing them - you just got lucky.
We've had a few with drift over the years - my son is pretty rough on his due to disability, but his spare set drifted straight out of the box. It seems they've fixed, or at least improved the drift issue over time as he hasn't had any issues with the white joy-con from the OLED.
My daughter had drift on one of hers too. She's always super-careful with her Switch and always puts in back in the dock after playing. She never really plays anything other than Animal Crossing so I'm not sure you can be rough with the sticks on that!
So far I've got Switch 2 MKW bundle, Official case from Smyths and Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma coming on launch day, with DK and then Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar pre-ordered for July and August respectively
Might get a Pro Controller and Yakuza 0 too but we shall see!
@dmcc0
I dont think everyone is "misusing" them, I just think some players are rougher with moving analogs than others. My brother gets really into it when he games and starts mashing buttons harder and jamming the sticks harder. I dont get like that when I game anymore, which I suspect is why none of my joycon or Switch Lite had issues.
I do think the launch model joycon from 2017 were waaay worse. So I wouldn't be surprised if those saw issues regardless of how careful you are.
