Or sell it to a hacker group for more than retail

They wouldn't really be able to do anything with it.. I mean it would be a fun toy to play around with.

But it is considered "bare metal" it is literally just a basic firmware that lets them check hardware initialization very basic stuff, the system would have no key's not even a serial # yet.

There is def going to be some rule 34 with the ladies on the boat mode in this game lol

The costumes are funny, you get them via eating happy meals of various types, its regional and there are a few of each region to eat and get the costume lol
Touring peach cosplays will be frequent

Daisy, surprisingly, is where it's at. Swimsuit Daisy is probably the best, she's got a few sexy outfits though. Pauline is also in that ballpark, whether in the red dress or the tight racing uniform (weirdly enough they only gave her two outfits). None of Peach's outfits really do it for me, she's too classy. Rosalina's got a couple decent ones, but by and large she's also too classy. Daisy looks like a wildcat in the sack, and Pauline is probably helping a lot of teenage boys figure out puberty.

Considering Mario Kart has like, never had any sex appeal before, the costumes on the female characters really surprised me. Lawl.

yeah i've had mine 2 days and played 45 mins total, mario kart is ok but unless you have a huge boner from your childhood for the game i just don't see why the fuck normies are buying this console. the only case that makes sense is the dude who has ignored gaming for 10 years, finally decides to get into it and NEEDS a handheld (baby, travel, 1 hour commute on trains, can use handheld at work) and wants to play games from the past decade. even then i think an oled steam deck is way better, especially now that almost all games come to steam.

ubi and microsoft should be announcing more switch 2 ports soon of their big hits from the past few years, it'll be kinda weird to see forza horizon 5, indiana jones, etc out on switch 2 this year. it would be cool if gamepass ever could run on switch 2 but i don't ever see that happening unless microsoft buys nintendo.

one nice thing, switch 2 fits perfectly fine inside a steam deck case, I have 2-3 extras of those so just put it in the one with a strap and screen protector and I'm good to go.

and yeah the switch 2 pro controller is sublime, its better than the switch 1 pro controller. Its a little smaller especially height wise, the buttons feel great, there are 2 new back buttons, and of course it can turn your switch 2 on unlike old switch 1 controllers (what a shitty thing to do lol)

I had a chance to get a Switch 2 Pro Controller at launch and didn't. Regretting it now because the old one can't turn the system on (yeah, shitty thing to do lol) and I'm hearing good things about the new one. Nobody seems to have it in stock though, at least from the 3 stores I called. Going to order one I guess.





credit score so bad, can't even open a store credit card...


Sort of sounds like the Best Buy employees were trying to boost their store's credit card signup numbers, sort of like how Gamestop employees used to be under threat of death to get people to sign up for Rewards Pro cards or whatever it was called.


It's a joke, but Best Buy seems kind of archaic and weird now. I try to do pretty much anything in there and it's like "we can't do that". The best thing is when there's a particular product you have to order online, even though they have it in the store, then wait for it to be prepared for "store pickup" at the store you're standing in. There's other bizarre bullshit too. My local store is run by an Elizabeth Warren lookalike who has decided to hire entirely [employees of unnamed race] in the last few months and at this point [employees of unnamed race] have pretty much become the entire staff. Each time I go in there the place is a little messier and more and more employees are standing around on their phones. Went in there yesterday to see if they had Switch 2 Pro Controllers, was told I had to order it online. There was a woman next to me trying to return something and asking if they could open a second register (and there were people starting to pile up in line) while 7-8 (I'm serious, 7 or 8) employees [of unimportant ethnicity] stood around either fooling with their phones or chatting with each other or just wandering around.

Funny part was when they were trying to process this woman's return, this one [different race from everyone else] guy had to come over and figure out how to do it, and a bunch of other employees stood around watching him, and the number of them grew as the seconds went by. Then my own cashier stopped processing me and just started standing there watching the transaction all the other employees were standing around watching. I was like "is there a reason we're all standing here watching this guy process a return?" and she snapped out of the trance and continued cashing me out.

Anyway, draw your own conclusions. Whole thing and the whole place were mind-bogglingly bizarre.

I am genuinely surprised that Best Buy lives on. Who the heck is shopping there now that they got rid of DVDs and such? How many TVs do you need and why wouldn't you just go to Costco?
I went to ours recently because the PSU I needed was in stock and it was real depressing. Like 20 sales associates on the floor just standing around. I was the ONLY customer in the store.

it'd be an extra cold day in hell if i had to goto bestbuy for something, i think the last time was in 2021 when we moved and somehow dell laptop charger was misplaced so i had to get a 65w adapter

all best had to do was limit scalpers and always have videocard/cpu in stock at msrp, and i'd happily buy from them, but they never do

I got my TV there. It’s closer than any Costco and in the store met their price plus free delivery.

I think I've been to Best Buy twice in the last decade:

Once ~5 years back when my headset broke and needed one immediately for meetings later that day.

Once recently when my nephew's PC shorted out and I needed another power supply to swap in for testing (again, immediately).

I too cannot understand how they stay in business. CDs and movies are dead, and videogames are soon to follow. I get that the locations are all either long paid for or have long term leases, but there is nothing left for sale people care about - they're just wastelands with appliances taking up a huge percentage of the floor plan and the widest aisles I can think of in retail (since, again, they have nothing anyone wants to buy), other than the cell phone area that can fit in a mall kiosk. (Fortunately, these were very suburban locations and still had competent employees.)

But to this thread, they didn't even have any noteworthy Switch 2 presence. If they can't entice people in to test new hardware, what could possibly turn things around for them?

Eh, I have not been in years but there is one down the street from work, I send my guys to buy random stuff sometimes.

Was there to look around with the wife and kids, it was not empty but it was not "Packed" like the "good ol days"

I’ve been to Best Buy twice in the last five years, picked up my 3080 Ti ordered online back when I built my PC, and went by to return my 9070XT when I decided to go with the 5070 Ti.

I'm between two separate Best Buys and the one in the whiter area is usually barren, but the one that's near the more "diverse" area seems to have customers regularly.

I don't physically go in there, but if there's a Day 1 release of a game I want shipped to my house, they're really good. Everyone else has failed me multiple times, but Best Buy has only failed me once, and they sent me an apology for it. GameStop being the worst with sending me a day 1 release like 8 days late.
