I dunno where you are looking but they are definitely all selling for ~$430 shipped. Just saw one go for $490 shipped. Sure, it's not a ton of profit, but it's a free copy of zelda and a bag of cheetos + mtn dews.

Return Of JimmyJars posted:Ebay + Paypal take 15% right off the top plus your cost of shipping. I doubt most people are making more than $30-40. Oh yeah they do, eBay fees don't play. Ha! Reminds me of that dumb lady who bought a bunch of people's place in line for an iPhone in preparation for some sexy scalping action, only to get told that it was a limit of one phone per customer. She tried to get her money back from some kid she paid off and everyone told her to get hosed. It was great.

Utnayan posted:I wonder if the Switch will store save files on the mem card/external if the game is installed on the mem card. And only on the system memory when installed on the system mem. When you install a game, does it give you a choice of where you want it to be installed? Thinking the work around then would be to install all your games on the mem card and the saves would go with it. Do you have anything at all in system memory when you look aside from the OS which isn't shown? i have nothing else on my system as far as i can tell. the only thing i did was put this sd card in before i turned the system on for the first time. i got no option to pick, seems it just defaulted everything to the sd card.

KingSlime posted:Meh unless you bought a bunch, $100 profit per unit isn't really all that hot. Not exactly rags to riches for that kind of hassle Ya, I bought an extra Switch and Pro Controller because I preordered on Gamestop but then got the Switch on Amazon (free shipping + Amazon credit card) and Pro Controller on Best Buy (free shipping and some gift cards), but decided to keep my Gamestop orders as backup incase Amazon or Best Buy fucks up (like with the Majoras Mask N3DSXL). Looking on eBay, I would have to list them at $500 for both in order to break even after tax + shipping from gamestop, and then eBay and PayPal fees. With that said, if there are any DC area goons that are looking for a Pro Controller or a Switch (gray), I put a thread up on SAmart and would just like my money back plus a few extra $'s to get some Taco Bell on the way home for the exchange. Otherwise they are going back to Gamestop Thursday (I think the stores take online returns). FireMrshlBill fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Mar 6, 2017 |

If you want a good laugh go look at metacritic's negative user reviews. Lots of salty people who don't know how to have fun.quote:Very disappointed and returning game after 8 hours of play. maybe young children will like it but I just could not keep playing the oversimplified quests and puzzles as the game holds your hand throughout. no decisions or strategy involved. quote:Game overrated, no story, bad graphics, clumsy gameplay, bad enemies, little history, many secondary missions inecesarias, very repetitive missions, very few weapons, few costumes, open world and little interaction. I do not recommend it, disappointing. quote:90% of people will never replay breath of the wild.

Haha, I am not that far into the game yet, but I am at the point where I feel like I break more weapons killing enemies than I get worthwhile drops. I break a broadsword and get a club or pitchfork, its a pain. It isn't an easy kids game.

is this brickseek accurate? It says there are 3 r+b consoles and 14 grey consoles between the 2 Walmart I live near. is that possible? I do live in suffolk va the switch might be too technical for these hillbillies. ps. idk about those hori screen protectors but there are some glass screen protectors for it, I've always used these for cellphones with great results. runaway dog fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Mar 6, 2017 |

Three days in, I'm loving this thing as a handheld but am really disappointed in its ability to act as a console. Graphically it just doesn't come even close to what the other consoles are doing, and when I swtich *snap* between Nioh and this it's kind of hard to keep playing. As a handheld though, it's the best I've ever used, hardware-wise, and I look forward to seeing the games that come out for it. Not interested in Zelda, but I have several other games that I'm really enjoying - the puyo puyo tetris demo and Fast RMX are both a blast. I downloaded the Dragon Quest Heroes demo but the framerate there averages around 20 and dropped below even that on a regular basis. I found it unplayable and it actually made me sick after a few minutes. My pro controller will be here tomorrow so maybe my opinion of it as a console will change once I have that, but the jaggies/flowing textures kind of look like early PS3 games, not 2017 software running on modern hardware. As a handheld though, A+. I can easily see this replacing the N3DS as the thing I keep in my bag all the time.
