I am just sort of curious, i would like to know how many of you peeps around here went on ahead and purchased another or just simply sold their (3.0.1) switch to buy a new switch that is on a lower fw.

i am contemplating whether to sell mine and buy a new one for that smhax stuff (i frikkin love homebrew/cfw , and around here in gbatemp who doesn't right?)

i also like many of you think that it could be stuck on 3.0.0 (like in ps3/vita's case, ps3 with 3.55 and under, and vita's 3.60 i believe?).

we do not have Nintendo stuff in where i come from, so i won't have the chance to grab one on a low fw, here in the future.
thus i am asking and would like to know whether it is actually worth ordering one.

i can wait until something is released as i am mainly playing on my ps4/vita these days, and i also have my 3ds'es.

thanks.

Bought one of the US Splatoon bundles as a spare to get the special Joy Cons, hoping it comes with a low FW (It should)

Sorry, not me. I also have my first one that I'm using. If I had to choose I would easily keep it on the latest firmware and enjoy it.

i have a 2nd switch on 2.2.0 waiting for unsigned code.

yeah i get it that quite alot of you here might own a second switch because you have games you want to be playing !
and that is not a bad thing, the only game i have on my switch is MK and Splatoon and i won't miss them much because i have both on my wii u (so whenever i want to play some, i will just play them on wii u instead).

and the only other game in physical form i have is Disgaea 5 c, that is the only thing i will lose (i only played around 15hours, still uncool to lose the save data of that) but oh well :l

TBH if I bought a second switch I wouldn't update that one either. These things are gonna be worth a lot of money when sploits are released.

you're one of those....
I have actually never scalped anything. The only thing I ever sold were some old GBA carts - and at market price.

But I do like investment - and even if I were to never sell them - I would be happy to know I gained on an investment.

i just get upset with people who jack up the price from like $300 to $1000 bc of exploits

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
