    $74 more than the splatoon variant and just for the skin. No deal.

    • Yeah not a great price.

    • It may be a deal to some who have already ordered it for RRP :).

    • +5

      Disagree.

      Its cheaper compared to RRP and what others are selling.

      Some people might be after this version and be happy with even some kind of a discount.

      • +1

        I get it if you are collecting the variants of switch but for those just looking to game on it. It don't represent great value at all. Just my opinion however. So your argument is just as valid.

        • +7

          I just post deals. If it helps someone then good :).

            @2pro4sho: No no. You're good. Just expressing my 2 cents.

            • @xoom: I wouldn't buy it personally but people can their vote if they think the deal is worthwhile.

        • I didn't say it was great value.

          It isnt a great deal but it is a deal none the less.

          No one is hold a gun to your head to buy it.

          So my argument is valid.

          Its like with Iphones which are over priced for what they are but at the end of the day if there is a deal where you can get it cheaper than most places even though its still over priced its still a deal and some people still want it.

          We don't need people like you coming in and complaining about every deal you think isn't worth it.

          • @SpeedRunnerLink: Didnt say your argument wasn't. Just saying for me personally and others would agree. It may not be a great deal for them either. Now if they threw in the game. Then maybe.

              @xoom: Sorry mate I misread it.

              I wouldnt buy it either at this price but some people might want it now so it's a deal for them.

              But from experience usually more of these deals will keep dropping in price. But at this stage its a deal until a better one comes along.

          • @SpeedRunnerLink:

            We don't need people like you coming in and complaining about every deal you think isn't worth it.

            Sure it's still a deal but you even said it's not a great deal and yet you think it's not worth someone commenting that they think it's not worth it? Bit odd.

            They also made a valid point that this is considerably more than another special edition Switch OLED and the base Switch OLED. I don't think anyone is saying the deal shouldn't be posted, just that we think it's not great value for what it is.

      • We all know you're just waiting on Tears of the Kingdom special edition switch

    • I am waiting for Zelda 2 next year, no matter it's a limited oled mode or even a next gen model. Sure it's time to upgrade.

  • just hodl and wait few weeks you will be able to buy that same skin sticker decal from aliexpress for just $15

    • +12

      I can picture you being the type of person owning a base model 3 series BMW and sticking a M3 badge on it.

      • +7

        Im sticking that m3 badge on my hyundai i30. Cause im a madlad.

        • These days I'd rather stick an i30n badge on an M3.

          Speaking of, Nintendo seem to do well by slapping a skin on old tech. Glad I sold my switch. But hey, seems like it works and these are sold out quite quickly.

        sorry i stick M3 badge on my xiaomi scooter

    game freak really needs to get onto a two-yearly release cycle. i know it will never happen because of CASH EMOJI, but the unfinishedness, unrefinement is insane in these new titles

    • +1

      Agreed. If they took a note out of Zelda's book, they could make the best pokemon game ever. Instead they put out games with such dated visuals, still no voice acting, and glitches galore. Pokemon just sells…no matter how unfinished a game is (sadly).

  • on amazon for anyone who wants.

      • well. i aint buying it. LOL but pretty sure amazon will match it soon. this will soon become a shortage issue rather than price. not sure why people want to pay for just a cosmetic update.

        • Its the very reason nintendo is doing it. Because people will pay it.

          • @xoom: i still use my v1 switch. going strong too. and can do more and save money too. ;)

        • Not sure the point of your comment. OP already said hopefully Amazon will price match

          • -1

            @2pro4sho: His talking about the v1 switch can be easily "homebrew"-ed…

            • @cloudie9: My reply was to "well. i aint buying it. LOL but pretty sure amazon will match it soon. this will soon become a shortage issue rather than price. not sure why people want to pay for just a cosmetic update."

  • The design on this is gorgeous. I would buy it because it stands out in my living room and impress my gf.

      Now thinking of getting one to impress the gf but the wife might have something to say about that. Oh wait…..

    Ridiculous that it doesn't even come with the game.

    • I know right.

    • I said the same for the Splatoon one but that is $445 so people seemed alright with buying the game separately. With this Pokemon one however it's over $500 and doesn't include the game still..

      Still doesn't make much sense to me, selling a special edition console like this but not including the game it is themed on. Should just include a physical copy of the game. I guess I haven't really bought a special edition console like this but I thought they used to always include the game for older consoles.

      • They'll do deals once it's released. I like the switch, but not the dock. I grabbed the Splatoon one. Got it down to about $400 (price match at JB, $10 perks voucher, 10% off TCN in most states or Vanilla Visa in Vic/Tas at Coles), which isn't far off what I paid for the original. I'll sell the original.

      • Just had a look - theyve been doing this for years.
        I bought a Pokemon X limited edition 3DS 9 years ago and just had a look back to confirm that it didn't include the game either https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/1624660/redir

        • It seems more often than not they just don't include the game, in some cases they do though. Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! Edition bundle with the console, dock, joycons and Pokeball Plus included a code to download the game.

  • How can you produce a themed console but not include the game based on the console's theme/paint job ?

      They nintenDO it all the time.

    OzCatalogue at it again. Wtf is happening to this site.

    • +2

      OzCatalogue? RRP is $549. >2000 clicks says people are pretty interested in this. Your last post on the other hand was 3 years ago. Instead of posting pointless comments you could OzContribute?

  • So many special editions make my original white OLED Switch sad.
