Oh all hail the Flying Spagettimonster, may he bring noodly goodness for everyone!

In other news... 8000$ MXN is cheaper that what I will pay. For me it's 414$ USD.

Fucking Trump man
It's not him, I'm in Sweden. We got really really, high taxes on products. It's 25% on general items and services, on books it's 6% and on food it's 12%. (And yes, it's been like this for decades, long before all the immigrants. Actually, they lower the book taxes in 2002 from 25% to 6%).

Never the less, this is about the Switch, not politics.

Man, those early-adopter woes are some deep pain.

Switch will save us
Anyway, I hope you get that Switch soon. The world as you know it might end. Can't believe some of the more insensitive ignorant posts weren't deleted in this thread. Seriously.

the $8,000 on the title refers to $8,000 Mexican pesos which equals to $390 U.S dollars, it appears some people in this thread actually think the switch will cost $8,000 U.S. Dollars in Mexico, lol.

Um... get it a month later? I'm sure it'll be 20% cheaper in third world countries by then (at least from what I've seen from past consoles here in brazil)

In this thread, Mexico has become the new Brazil when it comes to electronics.
Not really

Early-adopter woes in Mexico include paying extra for a fucking case.

The best official price at the moment is on amazon.com.mx, at $9,449mx.
And unfortunately you can't order it from the US or some other country hoping to save some big bucks, at least not the legal way. This is because the horrible taxation laws we have here grant customs the autorithy to withhold your items if they surpass certain value on the internal market, and only deliver them to you after you pay the corresponding tax to them (some times this is even more expensive).
