>"Nintendo wants to crack down on people buying consoles just to resell"
>Nope that's retarded. I guess I'm not getting a switch.
Where do these slant eyed gooks get off not letting me buy a product unless I get other stuff with it? Wouldn't it make more sense to make more fucking switches so scalper-bought merch is worthless?
I'd say FUCKING GAMESTOP, but Nintendo is being downright retarded.

not sure why you would make this up

it wouldn't even make a good thread
>>
>GameStop force people to buy bundles
>"Fucking Nintendo!"

Oh so you're retarded?
>>
>>389127796
It just happened to me today. I'd happily be playing Extella and shitposting in /vg/ if not for that. I had to wait this long because the shit was out of stock and then they pull this shit.
Besides, we've had plenty of FUCKING GAMESTOP and console war threads, newfag.
>>
>>389127672
Don't believe GameStop's lies. They're literally just ripping people off because they know it will sell anyway.

>>389127672
In my city in Florida, Target has a bunch of Switchs, no doubt stocking up for the holidays.
>>
>>389127672
Then don't go to fucking gamesstop you mong.
>>
>>389127672
Are you for fucking real? The ones making you buy more stuff are Gamestop. It's true that may disincentive scalpers from scalping the thing, but Gamestop are the ones forcing you to buy more stuff.
>Wouldn't it make more sense to make more fucking switches
They've had problems producing it. They even publicly apologized and said they're on it.
>>
>>389127672
>not just buying that shit and returning what you don't want to a different Gamestop
Are you retarded?

I'm not saying we haven't had those threads before. Just saying that your thread sucks. FUCKING GAMESTOP threads usually includes a joke or something.

It happened in Ft. Lauderdale. But isn't Target and walmart charging $350? Gamestop had it for $300 without the stupid buy more shit rule.

I took it up with the manager and the guy told me there was nothing he could do. It was something Nintendo requested. According to him anyway.

Sounds legit.

why is the Switch still short, six months after release? i havent been keeping up
>>
>>389128278
Bidwars with Apple over 32 GBs memory chips.
>>
>>389128194
I'm honestly not sure. I'm in Largo myself, and we've just now been getting them in stock.
>Got a Switch a month after release
>Feel like I honestly should have waited until this holiday season or after E3 next year to get one
I mean, I was planning on getting one anyway, but it doesn't help that I don't really have any spending money now. I have $60 and that's it, and I'm honestly not sure whether to get SMO or XC2.
>>
>>389127672
Production will increase before holidays hit,Nintendo already announced it.

Also I'm hispanic and don't play FIFA, and yes I have a switch.

Stereotypes don't have reasons other than racism and lack of cultural knowledge.

It's gamestop's "circle of life" strategy at work, not Nintendo. Gamestop requires individual stores to sell a set percentage per store of gamestop-related revenue. This means Game Informer subs, pre-orders, used games, warranties, etc. New games and new consoles do not count, and are the problem. If a store has a 50% rate for original sales, then for every $300 new console or $60 game sold, gamestop needs to make an equal amount of money on $5-20ish used games and subs. Big console releases and big game release months are the hardest. Stores deliberately do not sell consoles too quickly or their rates become impossible. Some stores last year hid stock of pokemon games until december because it was screwing them. At some point this year though, gamestop employees realized that bundles count as gamestop original revenue, so by slapping a game and some accessories and making it a $400-500 console bundle purchase, all of that revenue goes straight into their rate, which more than balances out their other sales. Because the switch is hot, they expect people will buy the bundles anyways because "at least if I'm paying the scalper rate here, I get more shit on top of the console".

Gamestop blames Nintendo (and likely other companies) for shitty practices. Picking up new releases in my area for anything not top priority usually resulted in my store saying "we didn't get stock, fucking Nintendo". Only to get it in stock the next day when the manager was in. And when their stock only came once a week and that was 3 days before release. I do not trust gamestop to give me the truth given how their company works.

This is Gamestop, they create bundles for YOUR convenience. Say something nice about them

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-08-31-gamestop-forced-bundles-are-for-customer-convenience
>"We really try to do a great job of pairing up items with things customers like to buy," Bright told the site. "In the case of the Switch, we know the customer is going to want a way to charge the Joycon, so we often throw in a charging device. We know the Switch has limited memory and customers like to download games, so we'll add a memory stick. And then you need a game itself, because what good is a piece of hardware without a game to play with it? We make it more convenient."

People are retarded enlugh to go to fucking Gamestop, so they deserve it

Even "high level gamers" like people who post on /v/ regularly sell their games to then.
They could be harvesting organs of kids on the floor and people still buy there for some fucking reason

There are million plus one small vidya selling stores who are decent and fair, but people only go to Gamestop or maybe some shithole like EB games who are equally bad

I bought Wii U games from GS during the 40% off sale. Don't really have any regrets. Plus, the trade 6 get 60% bonus credit is nice when you purposely flip games. Hell, there are some games you can buy from GS and trade back to them and earn more credit
