Poll Switch 2, yay! Or nay!

[Owain Taggart]

Well, the development time is measured in years and of course no one expected such a mess right around release time. I mean if Trump were elected everybody expected problems but the world was still surprised at the speed and depth of the mess.

Yeah, they really are between a rock and a hard place. It's not really their fault, but the timing couldn't have hit worse.

Tonight is the night to preorder a Switch 2 if you want one.

Anyone planning on pre-ordering?

I tried to. Target site said they'd sell them at 9 p.m. Pacific/midnight Eastern, but as soon as it hit the top of the hour everything said it was sold out. Page doesn't say everything is sold out anymore, but you can't add anything to your cart: "Something went wrong and the item was not added to your cart. Please try again."

Here's another weird thing. At the top of the hour my Firefox browser is telling me Error code: 429 and I can't access Target's website. But I can access it on other browsers.

Got a Switch 2 in my cart on the app, but then my home address disappeared. Then my credit card disappeared. Not worth the hassle since I likely can't check out anyway so I gave up.

The address eventually came back on its own, but they're telling me they can't verify it even though it's the same address they've been sending stuff to for years: "Using this address may cause delivery issues. Check your street name and number." Something is definitely screwed up on their end.

Just checked some Dutch sites and the base console is €469, the one with Mario Kart is €509. This is also on the official nintendo site...
