Switch Lite Street Date Broken, Multiple Tweets Show Evidence That A Walmart in Georgia, USA Broke Street Date

Either way, I can tell a certain few people are not going to be happy about it breaking the street date.
Oh, I have no doubt about that. I guarantee that if I wasn't there tonight when we got our units, and if I hadn't talked about the system and its release date to co-workers the past few days, they would have put it on the shelf.
Somebody messed up. It's not at the same level as a new platform launch by any means, since it's a revision. But it's not good.
So some people got the system a little early. Seriously, who cares. Good for them. Those unhappy pen pushers need to get over it.
The real kicker isn't just that people got the system early (I know this happens several times before), it's also the fact that people now know which Walmart location sold it early. That's the equivalent of painting a target on your back and a recipe for the pen pushers to go directly after the store that sold it.
That's pretty much how I feel, particularly given that it's not a new platform launch. I'm sure Nintendo is mad, but it's really not a very big deal. It's just a new [technically downgraded] version of their current console. It would basically be the same as the 2DS XL selling a week early when that released.
Yeah, true. I feel like sharing the receipt was not the brightest idea.
There's not a chance in hell of getting video and sound output via the USB-C port, simply because the PI3USB chip is missing (and it's this chip which redirects the output to the USB-C port).

This is the chip which the Lite doesn't have:
Ahh so they did save some space removing this cheap, makes sense, otherwise it would stupid to remove the functionality.
As did I. lol
I wanted Pearl, but Diamond was all I could find.
Those were the days, man. Harry Potter + Pokemon !!
But I think only one secondary can play digital games from an account at a time, even if they want to play different digital games. That seems to be part of the reason it does an internet check, to see if the account is already playing a game on another system.
