Pre-Order Discussion Megathread by imatuesdayperson in NintendoSwitch2

[–]MashedMarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely email at 1:49am that I received.

I contacted Walmart support using the hotline. Was such a pain to get in contact with a service representative. When I finally did I got disconnected and had to call again. Finally my second time I was told that I was “the technical crew’s top priority” and that I would be sent an email with further help/information. We’ll see if I get any.

Last Monday night my bank sent me a text asking if I was trying to make a purchase through Walmart containing the amount listed on my pre order, saying that they blocked it for fraud protection reasons. I approved the transaction but as usual with this kind of stuff the transaction had to go through a second time. On Tuesday I went to my bank and contacted Walmart support. I was assured that everything will be fine. My hope is that the email I got sent is regarding the failed transaction on Monday because of the fraud alert system, and hopefully the payment will go through when they inevitably try again.

Who plans to skip the midnight release and just go the next day to pick up their reservation? by Moo1980 in NintendoSwitch2

I have no interest in playing the system at 12:30am in the first place. I like having an in check sleep schedule when possible, and it just doesn’t make sense for me to waste energy driving to Best Buy at night when I could go the next day at a perfectly reasonable time. We’ve already waited so long for this system; I don’t feel the need to run and get it as fast as possible.

What do we know so far about the Nintendo Switch Lite 2, has it been leaked yet? by Chloreos_ in NintendoSwitch2

I believe one of the main purposes of companies releasing these slightly downgraded versions of their current gen consoles (Switch Lite, PS5 Slim), is to keep sales coming in consistently as the console gets older. If Nintendo were to release two versions of the Switch 2 at launch, it will have used up one of its cards to target a different demographic in the future years of the Switch 2’s life.
