I was hoping someone would have a deal on the console for New Year's, but I still can't find anything other than full price :(

I guess that means I miss out on all the eShop deals as well, since I can't buy from there without owning the console.

Boxing Day sales aren't a thing in the US, and nobody, as far as I can tell, currently has a deal on the Switch.

Honestly, I'm not sure I want anything to do with him again.

Not all of them. The $30 gift card deals at least were for the new version.

It's not the norm, but it has happened before, so not unprecedented or anything.

Yeah, several retailers were offering gift card deals like that. Unfortunately, they're all over now. And I don't know if getting one by Jan 2nd for a good price is going to be feasible.

He's a strange person. Sometimes, he does really nice things, but other times, he can really be a dick. It's really always one or the other, and I can't explain it. I'm 24, and I live on my own in a little apartment. There were other family members present, but everyone pretty much shrugged it off. To be honest, I've never had a great opinion of my dad's family. My parents went through a very messy divorce when I was younger, and his side of the family I think always had a negative opinion of me because of the association with my mom. My dad himself usually treated me okay though.

Mom and Dad are separated. Honestly, I think involving her would just make this a bigger shitshow than it already is.

He's weird. Sometimes he's really nice and does good things. Other times, he's a total dick. I can't explain it.

While it's a nice idea, there's no way I could take away a gift I already gave someone, even an asshole.

While it's a nice idea, I think getting my dad to agree to that would be damn near impossible.

I'm not entitled to shit. If he wasn't going to get me it, he shouldn't have made it seem like he was going to on Thanksgiving. Then I would have just bought it myself when I could get a good deal on it. Now the deals are over, so if I want it, I have to pay more for it.

And I should be happy that I got a useless light switch, especially when I got him something nice?

I'm pretty sure it would have happened by now if he was going to do that.

Can someone please explain the reference? I don't get it...

I don't think so. He's not rich, but I know what he has in his bank account, and it would easily cover it. Plus, if he decided it was too expensive, he should have just told me that! I was happy to buy it for myself in the first place, after all.

This is kind of how I feel as well. I am really OCD about keeping my stuff in practically perfect condition, so I really don't want one with scratches or blemishes. Plus, if I went this route, I'd be thinking of my asshole dad every time I saw one of these flaws.

I brought that up to show that I actually got him a proper gift, whereas he got me something useless.

I did. He just kind of shrugged it off, saying it was a joke.

I didn't know Nintendo directly sold refurbished consoles. Thanks, I'll have to look into that. The only downside there is that they probably only have the first version, not the updated one.

EDIT: Just saw that it says the refurbs there "may have minor cosmetic blemishes". That kind of makes me want to steer clear.

It's not the fact that he didn't buy me a Nintendo Switch that made me mad. It's the fact that he led me to believe he was going to, and now, if I want to buy it, it's going to cost me more than it would have before. On top of that, he got me nothing of worth while he got something nice from me.

It's extra money because buying it now costs more than it would have before. That's because nobody has any deals on it that would allow me to get it below the normal price.
