A:AnswerSo usually I will get an email a few days up to a week in advance telling me to make sure my card info is up to date. Some I'm assuming they are not charging until they ship.
A:AnswerIt seems BestBuy has limits on buying the old Switch for 3 copies max in your cart. I'm not sure if any other actions are being taken besides not giving info on pre-order availability dates.
A:AnswerIt’s really stupid that they can’t give any solid date or time. I’ve been refreshing the page practically every hour for the last 5 days. Enough already
A:AnswerBestBuy isn't doing anything other than selling Nintendo's product at it's MSRP. It's unlikely they're making any more money on it than they do the $299 Switch. AS far as Nintendo setting the MSRP the difference in cost is less than 17% from the standard Switch. That's a relatively minor price difference so you get relatively minor improvements. For people who play handheld, especially in brightly lit environments, it may be a significant improvement. For anyone who plays mostly docked, this product probably isn't for you.
It is a bit disappointing that the processing wasn't improved in this version (it probably would have been $400+ if it had). But there are a lot of good reasons that may not have been an option. Including the fact that there is a significant global hardware electronic component shortage, the base Switch model is selling about as fast as they can make it, and about 28 million people have bought a base model or switch lite in the last year, coming out with a new model that has exclusive games or can play existing games significantly better may really frustrate those customers.
A:AnswerIf you plan on playing this in handheld mode or tabletop mode, then I would say wait for this new model. Keep in mind though that like with everything else these days, it's going to get picked up by scalpers using bots so it may be hard to get for a while. However, if you plan on only playing docked on your TV exclusively, then there is little reason to get the new model.
