  • This is for a gift, how easy is it to return if there is any change of mind or issues

    • +2

      I can only comment on my experience with EB Games — pretty good. My Switch stopped charging, I went back to the store, showed the staff and he tested it. After verifying that it's not working, he replaced it with a brand new one on the spot.

      • Similar god experience. Brand new swap on the spot. Bit painful to transfer all data over, but now with Online service this shouldnt be a problem anymore.

    • Change of mind needs to be within 7 days of purchase and packaging is in completely saleable condition. Faults are a given.

      • +1

        The 7 day change of mind only works with games, hardware is excluded from that.

    • +1

      I have no issues ever returning games to EB, no questions asked.

      However, a couple years ago I went to get a Vita in hopes of remote play during my uni breaks. I found the Vita didn't support Enterprise WiFi and asked to return it. The guy made quite a fuss about it saying they usually won't accept return consoles, but I stood my ground and said it was "advertised as wifi-compatible, etc. etc." and eventually got my money back.

      I think this was a once off experience though. If the box is unopened/in sellable condition they're usually good. YMMV.

  • great deal! Almost had me buying it despite never being a nintendo game fan (except for Super Smash Bro's).

    • you missed a lot.

    • I don’t understand. Is it even possible to never be a Nintendo fan?

  • I take it these are the patched versions. Great deal nonetheless.

    • How do you normally check?

    • +2

      Yep, bought the grey one from eb games ebay last week. aaand patched.

      • What firmware did it come with?

        • Haven't opened it yet, just compared the serial number.

        • @musicinbed69: Dam. Having it sit in front of you for a week and not open it? Really?

        • @Blitzfx:

          Got a hackable one already, bought it as my 'legit', and I ordered last week, only arrived on monday :P .

    • Just for the uneducated…what's the patch stop me from doing?

    • Dumb question, but what are the advantages of buying an unpatched version?

      • +4

        If unpatched, you can use hardware exploits to load homebrew, emulators, backup games etc.

        • Ah ok thanks!

    • +1

      Is there any way these day to get an unpatched Switch?

      • Easy. Just get a used or refurbished Switch.

      • +1

        Check eBay/Gumtree

    • +1

      It'll be luck of the draw.

      I picked up a switch from EB on Saturday (25/09/18) and tested the mod successfully.

      Serial: XAW7001816XXXX

      Suspect that I'm right on the edge of the patched serial numbers based on this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-nu…

      • +1

        Mine's XAW7001823 and unpatched so you might be lucky.

        Patched units don't seem to follow a predictable ascending number sequence (i.e. there's no obvious cut-off point) so that's why it's recommended that people don't buy a 70018 unit if they care about running hardware exploits.

  • Are you allowed to use the PAYGRADE code with the giftcard?

    • Yep :)

  • +4

    Strongly advise to get a screen protector as its apparently easy to scratch the screen when putting in in the dock.

    • +3

      Yep, the screen is plastic so will scratch easily without protection. $10-15 on a tempered glass protector will prevent that from happening

      • +2

        Have had no screen protector on mine since launch and not had any scratches. Either I'm lucky, or the people doing the scratching are numpty dumptys

        • +2

          Lucky or just extra careful.

          Considering that most devices with screens are made of glass nowadays, I thought it was worth drawing attention to the fact that this one is plastic. Anything harder than plastic that rubs up against it with enough force will scratch it. For a device that is meant to be played "on the go" and more likely to be exposed to damage as a result, for an extra $10 it's a no brainer for me.

        • +1

          @Nomadesque: Yeah once I start taking it out of the house more, once Smash comes out, I'll likely get one.

  • Why I always got the "we ran into a problem. Please try again later" warning when I was trying to enter the code ?

  • Getting close to the previous eBay Plus special deal price now ($319) if using the 10% off gift cards.

    • And lets you get grey and not just neon.

    • Not really, if you consider both using the 10% disocunt vouchers, this is 323 and that was 307.

  • Anyone know how fast click & collect is for EB Games?
    Is it same day collection?

    Thanks.

    • +1

      yup.. have done it before.

      • Do you know how many hours it takes?
        Thanks, man.

        • +2

          Not OP but I ordered one from the last deal ~8AM. It was available for collection at about 10AM.

        • @Chael Sonnen:
          Thanks! Love your podcast, Chael :P

    • +2

      I ordered and got the text to say it's ready less than 1 hour after.

  • hi everyone how many gift cards can you add when checking out and can you add a coupon code with it?

    • I just used two and the coupon. I'd assume it is unlimited number of cards.

    • +1

      According the the Terms and Conditions

      No more than a total of $2000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per day, and no more than a total of $5000 in Gift Cards may be redeemed per calendar month. Further, you may only redeem a maximum of eight Gift Cards in any single transaction (and fewer if you are redeeming Gift Cards in combination with other redemption codes, such as coupons or vouchers).

      There has been some cases where OzBargain User were able to use more than 8 Gift Cards.

      You can also use Coupon code on purchases.

  • Another option is price match the 399 at Harvey Norman, pay using AMEX and get the $50 credit with the AMEX offer currently floating around - nets you the console at 349.

  • Just a warning that if you go the gift card route, it may take some time for them to arrive in your inbox. Some people have reported 5+ hours in the original post.

    • +1

      Yeah I'm taking the risk. 2 hours and counting so far ..

    • Mine came through after 4.5 hours. Got it for $329, thanks for posting!

  • +1

    How long does it usually take to receive the ebay gift cards? Haven't received mine in two hours +.

    • +3

      my gift cards took exactly 4 hours to receive

  • Looks like you can only ever purchase an item once from these guys. For some reason eBay won’t let me get another.

    • +1

      Use another account?

  • +1

    Got one for 323, it took 5 hours for my ebay gc. Thanks op.

  • Got it! :) eBay gift card codes took just over 4 hours.

  • Would someone be able to explain the steps to apply multiple $100 eBay gift cards?

    • On the very last Checkout page, down the bottom there's a section titled "Gift cards, vouchers" Just enter each code there. You can add one, hit Apply, then add another etc

      Don't forget the Discount code as well! Also enter that in this section.

  • How long will this EB sale be on for? Will I be able to order it tomorrow?

  • Dammit, eBay pulled the 10% off giftcards promotion, likely due to the complaints from people about the wait for their gift cards. Finally found some time to pull the trigger on buying one. Anyone know if they're likely to reinstate the sale tomorrow?

  • Hi guys ive trying to get the answer online but cant. If I start a nintendo switch family online account its around $60. I could add my brother in australia but could I also add my 2 brothers in Ireland?

    • +2

      Its ok found the answer you can add family members or friends from any region 😁

  • :( eBay code expired… Was waiting to go on my lunch break before buying it

    • Same - was going to pull the trigger … bugger

  • Well I folded. Now I got a switch. Its serial number falls in the "definitely patched" zone, so thankfully I won't have any temptation to brick it with my 1337 x4xx0r skills.
