They'll be gone before you know it

The Nintendo Switch has limited stock but here's where you might grab one today
|

The day's finally arrived - it's the birth of the Switch and how exciting it is. As I'm sure you're all aware, trying to get a pre-order of the Switch is harder than getting a Dragonite shiny in your pack of Pokemon cards, but we've got you covered.

At this time, 8:59 AM on Friday March 3rd, the following UK shops currently have the Switch in stock:

  • Toys R Us - neon red/blue, £279.99
  • Smyths - neon red/blue, £279.99
  • Argos - neon red/blue, £279.99
  • eBay - varies, £279.99+

Obviously that's no guarantee you'll get your hands on one today, and you should definitely check with your local branch to make sure they have a few waiting behind the scenes.
For our US brethren, pickings are much, much slimmer but you might be able to get a Switch via:

  • eBay - varies, $400+
  • GameStop - Switch bundle (console, pro-controller, Breath of the Wild, and BotW's complete official guidebook), $454.99

Looks like you guys were much keener for the Switch than us Brits as mostly everywhere has sold out. There were a couple of third-party site selling the device at even more ridiculous prices, but I decided not to include them.

It'd still be worth calling your local game-stocker and checking to see if they've got one stashed away, but try not to get your hopes up.
