A:AnswerHopefully BestBuy start caring about Elite Plus Members Too!!! Looks like buying spending 3000 dollars a year mean noting to them after all, and just spending 200 dollars paywall is more important now, well no more elite plus member for me, just 200 dollars a year now! thank you BestBuy for ruining your own business.
A:AnswerOLED screens allow for better contrast because each individual pixel in the screen is self lighting. The switch has a resolution of 1280x720 meaning there are 1280x720 pixels (921,600 pixels). On a regular LED display the screen is backlight. This means a light is shining behind the screen or from the side of the screen to illuminate the pixels. Better LEDs have several zones of backlighting to assist with contrast. OLED doesn't rely on backlighting. Instead all 921,600 pixels can be lit up or turned off to produced better contrast. When the image displayed in your game is black, the light isn't just dimmed way down like an LED so the image looks more black-gray, the pixels are actually turned off to produce a perfect black image. Long story short, this will be a HUGE upgrade from the original Switch screen and definitely worth the $50 price difference.
A:Answer100% Poor business guaranteed to sour the taste of many consumers that have made, in the past, BestBuy their go to. As if the layoffs last year didn't do it, this will.
A:AnswerIt depends; if you mainly play in TV mode, this upgrade is almost certainly not worth it. The only thing that would improve is the LAN dock, although you can already buy a USB one for about $30. However, if you almost exclusively play in handheld or tabletop mode (like me), it might be worth considering. The new screen & better audio would be pretty great, and especially if you have an original model switch, the battery will last longer (because of the HAC-001 revision and battery degradation). Finally, if this is your first switch, just go for it! It’s not too much more than the base model!
A:AnswerJust call your nearest GameStop. They require in person pre order for this item to prevent scalpers from beating the system. I got one at noon today. You need a $50 down payment which offsets your closing price.
A:AnswerYou need to watch the page constantly, or follow a Twitter account that watches for these things. Best Buy will update stock quantities and when they do it will be up for pre-order. Once those quantities are out they will update the page with either a "Sold Out" button, which means all quantities have been sold. Or they'll update with with "Coming soon".
A:AnswerThey already did preorders in July. I don’t like how they say “coming soon” when it’s really “preorders sold out.” On October 8th the order button may go live at a random time, but that’s only if they have stock. I would check at midnight, and if not then, 8-11AM CST. Hope that helps. If you have trouble finding one though, I know someone with an extra order.
A:AnswerYou need to be more prepared. Open the Best Buy app and keep refreshing that as well as the webpage. The app was updating stock faster than the website yesterday. Good luck.
A:AnswerAt this point customers are being trolled by these retailers. There’s no point in leaving listings up for items that won’t be available for sale in the foreseeable future. The OLED Switch already sold out months ago through the preorders. It’s available for sale today (10-8-2021) but to WHOM exactly? It’s all a huge joke at this point.
A:AnswerTheir FAQ says the following:
Q: When will I be charged?
A: You will not be charged at the time you place the pre-order. Only when your item ships will your credit card be charged. If you order additional items along with your pre-order, you will be charged for each item as it ships.
Their email confirmation of the order says the following:
• Your credit or debit card will be charged when the item is ready for pickup or shipped
However, I can say for the pre-order I made, the charge has posted to my credit card already. I was charged immediately for the pre-order and I will be watching out just in case for a duplicate charge for the order.
