Re: UK Retailer GAME Is Cancelling Nintendo Switch Preorders Days Before Launch

I preordered in person at my local store. They hold stock for 48 hours after release, and stock is shipped to store for that purpose.

They also have phases to pre ordering of limited stock, so phase one is guaranteed for realease day, with other phases fulfilled in order. If you ask in store they can easily tell you which phase you would go into and usually with an idea of the effect that would have.

My in store experience has always been near flawless with them, so I wouldnt normally go elsewhere

HOWEVER - The website and their customer service is another matter entirely. 90% of horror stories with them come from those 2 sources, both of which I've run fowl of.

Stick to working with them in person where possible. Their stores and website are not joined in the way they were before they almost closed, their 2 seperate entities now under one banner. Their in person policies are much more reliable, and generally much less hassle.

Just don't let them up sell you into £100s worth of extra sales. We gamers can be an excitable bunch 😉

@Danpal65 if you order a seperate set of neon joycons, the colours are switched. This way, you can have all red or all blue

I'd guess having one of each colour both prevents the need for a 3rd or even 4th SKU at launch (could of been one grey, one red, one blue, one mixed)
