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.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
