Premium product. Doesn't necessarily represent great value considering other variants are cheaper (and game not included blah blah blah). May be of interest to those looking at purchasing anyways. Let's not get into a debate about what is a good deal. If this post is helpful to someone, then that's what this community is all about :).

  doesn't feel like much of a deal… at least if they included the game (even if its a digital copy).

    Premium product for the cosmetic appearance only. Deal only applies to those looking at purchasing regardless of the price (which there are many).

  basic question here as I just have a neon switch. I read a lot of talk about just buying AliExpress skins instead. Are these originals actually just stickers or are they printed?

    Printed. They are not stickers

      cheers mate, I did wonder why people suggest just getting stickers! It simply isn't the same :)

  Wait… No game?

  Wait… Pay way more $ for a different colour plastic?

  Wait… Who does that?

  Wait… Wtaf?

  Wait… Let's not focus on whether it's a good deal or not because it has fancy plastic colour.. Shut up and take my money!

  "Premium product"

  Sorry for the newb question:

  Can someone please explain to me what/why this is more premium than just the regular run of the mill OLED version that is roughly $100 cheaper?

    This one will hold its "value" because when you dont want it anymore you can sell it to "collectors" at a markup.

    Go look at any other "limited edition" console…same story.

    No matter the age or relevance of the hardware.

      Grish on 17/09/2022 - 11:01

      So the idea is that you will get your $100 back after maybe a decade when you sell it?

      That $100 could probably be invested in even better ways, heck who knows.

        Thats not what I meant.

        Compare a halo infinite series X to a normal Xbox series X in terms of pre owned sales value, for example.

      is this limited edition though???

      • 

        2pro4sho on 17/09/2022 - 11:49

        Not limited to a specific number, nor are any of them. Specific style/run. Eventually they will stop manufacturing them. Doubt it is a good investment but people do go crazy for pokemon.

  If you are colour blind, move along, nothing to see here (go save yourself $100 instead).

          @2pro4sho: Whoosh, you seem to be very protective of your little OzB post.

          What you don't understand is that I'm not attacking the post, I'm attacking the scam of painting something another colour, naming it something like "Splatoon edition or Pokemon edition" or whatever appeals to fanboi kiddies..

          Then charging more for that different paint colour, and having fanboi kiddies deluded into believing it's some sort of a bargain.

  Look at Splatoon version selling at 444 only couple week after launch. This will be the same.

  • 

    drprox on 17/09/2022 - 15:46

    Maybe but then Splatoon isn't Pokemon, way too many examples of Pokemon stuff going the other way

  Price match at JB. Stack HSBC cashback with the Coles TCN offer. Around ~$466 shipped since I couldn't click and collect. Not too bad, love the design.

  When the next switch shows up should be less of a headache to sell.

  Then again if you don't care about that… You could get the Splatoon edition AND the game for around ~$433 employing the same steps + JB perks coupons.

  Where's the best place to buy a standard switch? Daughter just got her first paycheck and looking to buy. Sorry for the hijack!
