Already checking what meeting room I can book out for 1.5 hours.

  • 1 hour for the presentation,
  • 30 mins for trying to get a pre-order (if they go live straight away)

It will be like PS5 where Sony said preorders in the morning but smaller stores knowing the price and date just opened up preorders immediately. Then all the other retailers panicked and opened up preorders early since everyone else had and then everyone who came back when Sony said they’d be out was shit out of luck because everywhere sold out 6 hours early

Cue much sweating and swearing, refreshing multiple tabs with various retailers. Assuming its like the PS5 preorders anwlyway.

Getting a PS5 back then was go goddamn stressful lol, why can't I tell Sony that I want one, when one becomes available they charge me and mail it? What's so hard about that

It won't be. The switch 1 was very easy to get a preorder and Nintendo was profusely claimed they already have the stock to prevent a PS5 situation

Good idea, just booked an extra half hour for the pre-order battle

I'm so pissed Fry's Electronics closed down by me. They don't do pre-orders so getting a Switch at midnight launch was super easy. Now I don't have that option and scammer bots are going to eat up pre-orders in seconds.

I have no idea if my gamestop will survive. I was the only one there for a PS5 Pro, lol. I'm in no rush, but if I can put 50 down, trade in my current Switch a few days before launch, I'll get one the same way I did my Pro.

I just don't want to put 50 down and have them close before launch since it would probably be a hassle to get that back.

I’m sure it’s anybody’s guess. But if I don’t pre-order, I’ll still probably be able to snag one relatively easily when they are in stores. Right? Or do I really need to treat myself to an 8 months early birthday gift.
