When did that happen? Dude was definitely getting on some nerves, but not sure anything escalated to ban-worthy behavior.
If your asking for something borderline or against policy and they say no, should just leave it at that. Not sure that’s the case here, and just my personal outlook, but I’m pretty sure they can see chat history?
Yes of course. Might have a hard time finding one till late Jan or even March depending on how popular the system is. I’d like a series x as well and I know those will be in short supply due to production issues.
Someone on here use to have a Google doc with real time updates of GameStop story inventory for hard to find items like Nintendo switches, amibos, etc. I got a switch the week it came out that way. Wish someone would revise that!!!!
I'd rather buy a standard off GameStop. As much convenience bundles can be at times,I just see no point in spending more cash when have trade credit accumulated
COVID really screwed things up. You can’t judge prices off of this year as manufacturers can’t ramp up production, add shifts, etc. Prices will go down as the world becomes normal again. Solid state memory prices being high and in low supply has hurt the entire tech industry.
You don't get it. This has been going on since well before COVID as I stated. I have been following the prices of PC parts very closely for the last three years. Prices have not come down at all on PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 NVMe SSDs during the previous 1.5 years, which was well before COVID. The pandemic seems like an eternity but it has only been going on for the last seven months. Retailers have also never been undersupplied on SSDs either, as opposed to almost every other major pc component which has seen shortages.
Nah you may not know how supply and demand works. No business deliberately would ever want a shortage when there is high demand. COVID impacted manufacturing around Dec or sooner.
Basically nervous about oled burn in since all it would be used for is gaming for me.
Laughs in Nintendo.
As for TV's I have used this site for my last two TV purchases and have not been let down.
I use rtings to read reviews too
Wow. Thanks for all the info. Now to wait for a good deal on it.
People think of Nintendo as a big company but they aren’t when compared against Sony and Microsoft. Also, they have an unwillingness to take on debt and expand operations. They’d rather work with what they got. It’s a very Japanese way of doing business. That being said had COVID not happen you wouldn’t have seen switch shortages. Also even a company like Nintendo will work things out. The only thing they’re really bad at stocking is limited run items. They take words limited a bit too seriously. We as westerns have gotten use to limited editions not actually being too limited.
When you think about it, even standard editions of games are all limited editions...
Nintendo absolutely plays it safe and can weather any storm for it, but fails to grow as a company for it. Being exorbitantly flush with cash doesn't mean much when your ambitions are extremely shallow. Scrooge McDuck, essentially.
You can pre-order digital games here:
I worked as a financial planner and analyst for several years at a fortune 40 global Japanese company. The business I worked for even owned Japan’s largest bank and were totally unwilling to take out any loans. If business goes bad they expect everyone to take a pay cut or accept minimum wages till the business recovers financially. Crazy stuff man. Basically a lot of well run Japanese business play it safe.
That's what I'm thinking with all the free upgrade games. It just makes more sense to get the PS4 version and then buy the upgrade to the Ultimate Edition on PS5 to get the Remaster.
They haven't confirmed yet in the store, but I believe it will be the same $20 difference between the PS5 versions.
No I do, manufacturing companies use the concept of future shipments and back ordering to deal with demand/supply lumpiness. Would you like to share a case study for the group?
Would be a common thought, and probably the same thought that those stores will have. However, if you think about it more, a midnight launch would actually be far better for the launch of a highly anticipated item. This is due to the fact that at that midnight launch you have the capability to designate that everyone will be given slips and they must wait and only 2 people can enter the store at a time. Alternatively, they will be brought their item to their vehicle if they pre-ordered. The reason this is far superior with the pandemic in mind is because there will be a launch day and on that day you’ll have all of those same people storming the store, except being regular hours that store will be filled with people not at all looking for said launch item.
