Oh forgot I got the 'Special Edition' of Breath of the Wild, it says Wind Waker and GameCube on the box cover...
I've been holding out to try out my new Switch with BOTW Wind Waker (GameCube Special Edition), can't wait till I load it up this weekend!

No, He is in Portugal. Portugal does use euro and not pounds. I am curious why he used pounds when he is in Portugal ?
AFAIK he is Portuguese, but he lives in the UK.No, He is in Portugal. Portugal does use euro and not pounds. I am curious why he used pounds when he is in Portugal ?

It improved the game but it's still a very bare bones garbage-y game sold sold for more than it's worth. 14.99 EUR/GBP/USD is what it should've been priced at.
Too much.
Switch: 3600 NOK (about $420)
PDP Starter Kit: 300 NOK (about $35)
This was a couple weeks after launch, was already playing BotW on Wii U thanks to the leak so I didn't bother with the Switch at first.
Didn't buy any retail games for it at first, but I got Super Bomberman R later on (about $60) and I bought a bunch of eShop games since I first got it (there are a bunch of good ones already)
I'm not that happy with the PDP starter kit though.
The screen protector was a pain to apply, although it fit really well once I got it applied properly (but not before I managed to get a huge speck of dust underneath the center of the screen that is still there), I don't blame them for it, it was my own failure at applying it that resulted in that speck of dust getting under there. Although the microfiber cloth that came with it was completely useless, it left red specks of lint on everything it touched, that wasn't a big deal cause I found something else to wipe it with.
The pouch itself seems okay but it has a bag inside that holds the Switch and it's really hard to get it into and out of the bag, the analog sticks as well as the ZL/ZR buttons both keep catching on it. And it has no space for accessories.
The Joy-Con grips that came with it are GREAT though. They fit the Joy-Cons perfectly and add just enough bulk to make the Joy-Cons comfortable to use. (It's these ones, and I recommend them to anyone with a Switch: https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Gel-Guards/dp/B01N10WJ09 )
So, I still hadn't paid for BotW at this point even though I had played through it.
I was pissed that NoE didn't include the Sheikah Slate pouch in the European limited edition version.
So, a few days ago, I imported the special edition from US through eBay. $102.50 base price (which is reasonable since the MSRP was $99.99), $27.50 shipping and around $30 in import tax. Can't wait to get it, the pouch looks really nice and it has space for both games and accessories.
tl;dr buy the Joy-Con Gel Guards from PDP, they're great: https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Gel-Guards/dp/B01N10WJ09
Don't buy their other accessories though.
They make the Joy-Cons so much more comfortable to use both in handheld mode and docked mode, and the fit is perfect around the buttons and D-pad.
They're also available in multiple colors (the gray ones are almost exactly the same as the Switch color itself so you almost can't tell there's a sleeve on them)

I was probably one of the few who got it for real cheap unless he can prove he received it. All it take is a screenshot blurring his personal info and a photo of the Switch so that folks here can take his word.

$530 for a grey switch + BoTW and screen protectors.
Pretty much sitting in my closet because I've started a new job.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
