I was able to snag a oled this morning so my switch kinda will be useless once it arrives. I have a red stick in the left joy con I used to replace the one it came with( stupid drift.) will I need to buy a black stick before I trade it in or will they be fine if it is not black.

Has anyone traded a Switch console in to gamestop that had drift? And can you speak to how much that lowers trade-in value?

@blindsquarel Oh, where'd you score an OLED? Nice job!

I don't know how closely they look for drift but, they can lower your trade-in value. I talked to gamestop about switch trade-in value in decmeber. I just haven't gotten around to trading my old switch in.

You could send your drifting joycon to nintendo, then trade your Switch in after the joycon is fixed.

**Remember, games have to be redownloaded when you transfer to a new Switch - I was disappointed by that, but there's no way around it.

The only things that can be transferred to a new switch are save data and Switch screenshots & video clips.

I had all my screenshots and video clips on my micro sd. If you save your Nintendo Album folder to a pc, after you format your card to the OLED, you can past your switch screenshots & video clips onto the formated microsd card. (If you try to paste games back onto the formated card, the Switch won't accept the card, and prompt you to reformat the card.)

Should have been more clear on that. I replaced the original sticks which had drift with a red stick. So the issue is will they take it if it has a different stick or do I need to get a black one to replace it.

I found one on Amazon. If you are interested just download the hot stock app and make an account. It’s free and it just tracks which online retailers have stock and sends you a alert once they find any. I had a six minute window to get one on Amazon this morning.
