Hardware How to get a Zelda Switch 2? They sell out in seconds

retrospect · Saturday at 11:01 AM

Does anyone have tips on how to get Zelda Switch 2 in the UK? They sell out really fast and they always go up for sale when I'm at work. Maybe there's a way to get a alert or join a queue?

I've held off getting a Switch 2 for this long, and I was going to wait for a proper hardware enhancement, but I really like the look of this one and that it's inspired by the N64 Zeldas.

Sites like this do help if you want to stay on the ball with stock appearing:

I've used them in the past (maybe not that one specifically) and managed to get orders in pretty quick. It's a brutal landscape with limited edition stuff though. Fingers crossed you can get it in the end, the game looks great.

zelda 40th is not a limited edition or i'm wrong ?

I would check Amazon because they usually reopen orders unlike other retailers. Use a browser add-on that pings a message when it's available.

Well this seems futile. Argos just restocked ten.

Ten. Sold out before the page even loaded.

I relied on nowinstock, hotstock app, and telegram back in the days when I was hunting for limited edition.

I pre ordered a NS2 Zelda Edition on Amazon UK, the game on Amazon FR, but still trying to pre order the controller.

I get alerts it's up on Amazon UK, I open the notification, and it's... gone.

You are competing with scalper's AI agents. That is not a competition you can win.

If these reach retail shelves, you might get one. (As much as I wanted a Wii from Nov 2006 on, I didn't get one until almost exactly a year later when I walked into a Walmart just as they were putting some out -- and I felt very lucky because they continued to be sold out for another year after that. I refused to pay a scalper for one. And it wasn't even a limited edition.)

That's true.

They must have made tons of accounts to snatch them up, I hope they'll end up being unable to sell the stock they'll have. Greedy bastards.
