Now, I'm not too sure. What are some of the other perks? Do they usually send coupons with any regularity? When you sign up they do send you coupons, also some preorders that you make online will get you $10 in bonus points to use on bestbuy.com, right now they don't have the list up for the preorders with the bonus points, they usually have them up in April/May time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that many games/stuff to buy, it'll work itself out. What accessories are you getting with your Switch? I was thinking of getting the charging grip or pro controller but I may just hold off on that. They're just too expensive atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'll likely pick one up sometime after launch, since it is currently sold out everywhere in the USA. I will likely use some of my tax return money this year for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funeque Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm super hyped for the switch. I've got a release day event I'm going to pick mine up at, then going to stream Breath of the wild (also preordered for pickup) immediately after. My goal is to stream it for 72h, but realistically it'll last until I pass out/go to the hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanzel Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 @PhantomKnight Oh. My. God. I have the WORST luck ever. I finally decide to pickup the Gamer Club Unlocked membership. When I went to BestBuy, I had the following preorder open for the Breath of the Wild Special Edition ($100) open with the preorder button available. I was told by the lady that I could only preorder via the website and to just get the GCU there. I bought the $30 unlock and then 10 minutes later try to preorder/buy the game and now the button has changed to "Coming soon" and I'm unable to preorder... FUUUUUUUUCK. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-special-edition-nintendo-switch/5730400.p?skuId=5730400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It more sucks cause I was delaying getting a GCU as long as possible and right when I got it, the thing that I wanted to get became unavailable. Although looking more closely at the Special Edition, I don't really care for the other things included in the package other than the case. I might just preorder the regular version with the discount and I think that there is some kind of $10 rewards points promo for preorders, right? Or am I wrong about that...

There is a $10 rewards points promo, but the games with that promo have not been announced yet, they will probably be announced by either May or after E3, my suggestion is to preorder the original version and hopefully by release day bestbuy will have the special edition, cause they are that type of company to have extras of special editions of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanzel Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Well, I guess my Zelda preorder-gate scandal resulted in some positives. Right now, BestBuy's $25 off $100+ deal if you use Visa Checkout is back until 2/22/17 so I was able to get a little extra discount on some Switch shit. Unfortunately, you have to spend at least $100 on your Visa card, so I couldn't use all my giftcards (I used another $15 one that I had), but I picked up a regular Zelda: Breath of the Wild and a Nintendo Switch Pro controller together. I was thinking about maybe getting a Charge Grip but at least with a Pro Controller, get a complete extra controller to use in multiplayer situations. Plus, with the $25 discount, it makes the $70 price more reasonable... https://slickdeals.net/f/9774523-best-buy-pay-with-visa-checkout-and-get-25-off-your-100-bestbuy-com-purchase Edited February 15, 2017 by deanzel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll grab it the second it goes on sale. I've watched the unboxing video from the guy who got his Switch 2 weeks early, and I'm so f'n pumped for it. March 3rd can't get here soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisatrial Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I feel like finding a Switch day one is gonna be reaaaal tough. Might end up just getting Zelda on Wii U...but I feel like that won't be optimal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claim your dank username before someone else has the chance to. And about 1.5 weeks left till the Switch hits. It's gonna be so lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
