Switch = €330; Diablo III = €60. The bundle is €390, so you're getting a protection case for free. It's hardly a deal, but not more expensive than if you were to buy everthing separately.
@Cobalt The MSRP for the Switch is €330, and €60 for Diablo III. That doesn't stop retailers from charging less; however, I fail to see why they should change the price of the bundle because of that. I'm sure you can always find a cheaper price for the separate items if you hunt down some good deals.
$300 Switch, $60 game, $11 for great hardcase (big 2nd storage area, 20 game slots) on Amazon
= $371 cost = $407.10 + $40 any 2nd game + 10% sales tax (Alabama) = $451.10
$400 bundle + 10% sales tax (Alabama) = $440.00 - $407.10 = +$32.90 saved and better setup
or pay $11 more and get lots more
I don't care about a made in China, $2 case with a symbol on it or a plastic figure or a number of things some of these bundles come with, the extras are usually worthless anyway and will be on a counter/shelf for a month then a closet for the next 5+ years, yah, save me that extra money so I can buy another game, offset cost of some other accessories, ect, hell, I found some very tiny Bluetooth transmitters that hook into the 3.5mm headphone jack that sit almost flush on the Switch, so you can use Bluetooth headsets for less than $10-$15 (solves a huge issue with a lot of players), yah, buy separate, get more and better
@Cobalt Like I said, retailers are (kinda) allowed to charge whatever they want (within reason of course, but that's another topic). The MSRP is €330 for the Fortnite bundle. Yeah, some retailers are selling it for €300, there's also one retailer that's charging €340 for the Fortnite bundle. In a similar fashion I can find the Diablo III bundle for €380, but there are also retailers that are selling it for €400.
@FaeKnight Well, they're communicating wirelessly with the Switch, so why wouldn't it know what colour it is. It's like how the PS4 light bar changes colour for player 1, 2, etc. There's probably a bit of data on the chip that says what colour the Joy-Con is.
@Octane
Even i have White Joy Cons, it still registered as Neon Red Joy Cons because it used to be Neon Red color before i swapped the shell with White color.
honestly I think that was one of those frivolous and pointless things that were added, how about adding another Bluetooth transmitting frequency for headphones OR unlock the #8 frequency so a headset can hook in as long as there are 7 or less Joy-Cons remote connected (people's excuse about Joy-Con interference solved AND that may be able to happen with a firmware update)
