I've got a guy on eBay with a sealed Switch, serial number XAW100157xxxxx - he claims it's on 1.0.0
What's the likelihood that this is true?

Tip: When buying a console with a serial number that seems to be the last batch of 3.0.0 be careful, because there is a chance that it comes with
3.0.1 in the box. For example, we have XAJ100127 as a 3.0.0 serial number, but XAJ100122 was reported as 3.0.1. There seems to be a overlap in
serial numbers, probably due to factories flashing two firmwares in parallel for a short time when upgrading the assembly lines.

Basically this, but it actually applies to all firmware ranges. The edges of the ranges are somewhat imprecise.

Is there still a benefit of keeping 3.0.0 or less switch? already have SX pro with Switch on latest FW
the other one still in the box with 2.3.0

Wish you get this information helpful, guys.
That was a good surprise for me to get 3.0.0 one. Buy it on sale for ~270 EUR, initially planning for SX OS things, for now i just waiting for much more cool option like Atmosphere OS.

Update
Tried sending sample payload (fusee.bin) via android phone and it works!

Now a quick question. Does running a payload (fusee.bin) will trigger a ban? I just test my n. switch if it will accept the payload and I did not boot into cfw. I'm planning to update my switch for exfat support. Thanks :)

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
