Just want to say, thank you very much for creating this thread and for all the people contributing to it.
I have been on the fences before deciding to buy my Switch, and this thread made me realize I had to hurry up before the November discounts started around here (the "older" Switches would have disappeared from the stores otherwise).

Get your old firmware in time, people!

P.S.
I've noticed there is a 3.0.0 firmware marked red on the Excel file. I suppose that's a mistake?

Yep, as expected, this is the second reported Switch with the same serial number which is on the 3.0.1 firmware (first reported one was grey, mine is neon red/blue).... you should definitively avoid this serial number starting with: "XAJ70015....."

Thinking of buying a 2nd switch, which one is safe guys and firmware. In UK.

XAJ10013 Mario bundle
XAJ40018 Neo
XAJ70012 Neo
XAJ70013 Grey
XAJ70013 Grey
  • XAJ10013 will probably be 3.0.0, but Mario Odyssey will require an update to 3.0.1 to play it. It will require an update to the latest version to download the game.
  • XAJ40018 will probably be 3.0.0.
  • XAJ70012 will probably be 2.3.0.
  • XAJ70013 will probably be 2.3.0 or 3.0.0, depending on the rest of the serial number.

It should be noted that homebrew is about to be released for 3.0.0 only, not anything higher or lower. It is likely that you will have 2.3.0, but you will need a game cartridge to update to 3.0.0 to use homebrew in the near future.

Any chance for the splatoon 2 bundle to contain 3.0.1 in it?
All of the switch in my local area has 3.0.1 already, and the only way to get firmware below that is by buying the splatoon 2 bundle.
