Strange because it's available everywhere else so it wouldn't make sense to have this as prime exclusive. Possibly it's a mistake in the system but if it's correct it's pretty crappy.

Seems to be because they have it a Prime Sale right now for 279 instead of the normal 299

Eonjay3199d ago

So basically, in order to get the cheaper price, you have to have a prime account. So its like every prime deal ever.

iTechHeads3199d ago

No, the bundle was locked to prime even before it went on sale.
I'm guessing the small price cut is to make the prime exclusivity feel a little less like a rip off.

10 second search finds the bundle from another retailer on Amazon for nearly the same price.

Dumb article, it's called benefits of service. Are you gonna get pissed because people at Costco get better prices? Damn Costco paywall! Lol.

Aenea3199d ago

But they can still buy every article still tho, right?

PSN_ZeroOnyx3199d ago

Only if you pay the yearly Costco fees. Costco, Sam's club and others like them require you to pay a yearly fee just to have the right to shop there. Amazon does cost more per year, but everyone is welcome to shop on Amazon whether you're a prime member or not.

I'm a prime member now, but I shopped on Amazon for nearly a year and decided prime would save me money in the long run bc of free shipping and 20% discount on all pre-orders (games, consoles, movies etc)

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

Nintendo Switch 2 Console review - Worthy Successor with Issues

"Nintendo Switch 2 is a safe and solid follow-up in many respects but it has its issues, including the Virtual Game Card system and an aging UI."

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.

gold_drake11h ago

not sure if its a successor or an upgrade.

and theres no way u get 5 hours.

1nsomniac5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!

I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.

Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
