Asked 4 years ago by ExclusiveAccessEvent.

• A:Answer Hopefully 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.

Q: QuestionOled?

Asked 4 years ago by Nickname.

• A:Answer OLED 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.

Q: QuestionWhy put items behind a paywall? Worse then the scalpers and not even guaranteed you will be able to purchase.

Asked 4 years ago by NRA4LIFE81.

Q: QuestionIs it really worth 350.00? I keep looking at the specs and nothing seem to of really changed other than screen, slightly better battery life...Would consumers just be better off with the current Nintendo switch?

Asked 4 years ago by NotImpressed.

• A:Answer It 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!

Q: Questionwhen can we pre order?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Just 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.
