Do you really use the Switch with full brightness and wifi on at all times though?I was saying that in comparison to what Nintendo claimed. You're right in that it's a pretty good upgrade on paper.
The upgrade seems fine.

I personally prefer the 8BitDo USB adapter if you already have a DualShock 4 laying around.- If you'll be using it a lot docked, I'd recommend the pro controller
I always travel with an Anker battery that lets me get 18 hours of battery life, so it isn't for me.
No real reports that it has landed yet tbh. No idea when it will start filtering in considering Nintendo said early September.Hoping this comes to the UK shortly, Game doing £175 trade in at the moment for a Switch, I would like the improved battery life and my dock has magically started working again so I guess I should trade it in before it stops again
And once I get that glass protector, I don''t really need the sock sleeve?
Nope, not necessary at all if you get a glass screen protector.And once I get that glass protector, I don''t really need the sock sleeve?
Nope, not necessary. Infact I'd be worried about overheating with that kind of case on it while its docked, lol.And once I get that glass protector, I don''t really need the sock sleeve?

No. Don't think they've ever retroactively given extra trade in creditWait, they're giving 225 for trade at gamestop now? Can I go back and get that extra 25?
Nope, gamestop is alot of things, but generous like that isnt one of them.Wait, they're giving 225 for trade at gamestop now? Can I go back and get that extra 25?

Think I'm ready for my first Nintendo console! (though I've had handhelds like 2DXL and SP)
Just have to pick 2-3 games to start off with from my youtube playlist:
That's lame. I guarantee they knew, too. It was only a few days agoNope, gamestop is alot of things, but generous like that isnt one of them.
If you live near Fry's, they usually have eshop on sale for 20% dc on Fridays at least once per month.Where do I go for discounted digital games and gift cards? I've used slickdeals for PSN stuff but is there any other I don't know about?
There is if your launch Switch is falling apart like most people's.

I actually do, 10 minutes away.If you live near Fry's, they usually have eshop on sale for 20% dc on Fridays at least once per month.
I'll check it out, thanks.
I don't think the new version is worth the upgrade for current Switch owners. Too much money and time investment (buy first, transfer, sell) for a small battery upgrade without anything else.
For future Switch owners though this is a nice improvement.

Yup. I was hoping for some performance improvements.There is absolutely zero need to upgrade to this.
Buy a £20 powerbank and quadruple your battery life.
I second this. 8BitDo adaptor is an amazing (and a WAY cheaper) alternative to Pro controller.I personally prefer the 8BitDo USB adapter if you already have a DualShock 4 laying around.
Are Switches installed with glass screen protectors able to fit inside the dock? I'm not seeing myself playing the Switch outside the dock much, but the reported screen scratching some docks have caused has me thinking about getting one regardless.
If you have a hackable Switch, i agree.There is absolutely zero need to upgrade to this.

third, 8BitDo adaptor has been a godsend for me, but if you dont want that, there is that new controller that company made thats like $40ish and really good.I second this. 8BitDo adaptor is an amazing (and a WAY cheaper) alternative to Pro controller.
You can also use an Xbox One S controller which feels superb because it has trigger rumble and it feels similar to HD rumble.
And once I get that glass protector, I don''t really need the sock sleeve?
Same. The system itself is fine but the joycons have issues. The rubber bit on the left joystick somehow managed to come off at one point and I was never able to get it back on properly. That one also started drifting recently and the right one started having sync issues and disconnecting a ton while playing fire emblem recently. I know they at least fixed the antenna position in the latest model joycons so that's something anyway.What's wrong with yours??
Mine is a launch system and the only dodgy things are the shitty joy-con.

it also has a better screen
Old Switch Moddel max brightness: 291 Nits
New Switch Model max brightnesst: 318 Nits
Old Switch colour temp: 7200 Kelvin more blueish
New Switch colour temp: 6757 Kelvin warmer picture therefore more colour accurate

True about that screen lottery. One guy who got the new model from gamestop in the other thread had dust specs under the screen and you know since it's gamestop you can't return/exchange it.Im hoping to see some comparisons shortly but the screen lottery is definitely in play here. I have a feeling overall screens will be worse than launch units as Nintendo moved suppliers from where apple gets their screens to cheaper alternatives.
They had them last week and had $200 cash or credit when I traded mine. You need both systems to transfer certain saves like Splatoon 2. Now cash is down to $160 but credit is still $200. Best you will get from GS, I think they may have a $25 bonus credit atm so $225 in store credit.Hope gamestop has some trade in deals for it... I have spare consoles that I would trade for one.
For the sake of input lag, I'd recommend one of Brook's adapters instead. But I suppose it won't matter much in a casual setting. Plus 8BitDo allows for wireless controller use.I personally prefer the 8BitDo USB adapter if you already have a DualShock 4 laying around.
