Update: “We are as excited as our customers about the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch,” an EB Games representative has said to Stevivor in a supplied statement.
“We’re giving preorder customers the choice to pick up their new Switch when they want it. If opening weekend is not convenient they can choose a collection date that suits them by contacting their local store. This includes, but is not limited to, moving to the second shipment.
“We strongly encourage customers who are interested in the Switch to preorder instore or online, as demand will likely outstrip supply. As of writing, EB Games guarantees all existing preorders on the Nintendo Switch.”
Best talk with your local store.
Original story: Vooks today reported details of a strict two-day Nintendo Switch pickup policy at EB Games in Australia.
The site has learned that the retailer is calling pre-order customers, asking them to confirm they’ll pick up the new console within two days of its release on 3 March. Those that can’t make that deadline are allegedly being moved to the console’s second shipment, scheduled for sometime in March.
We’ve asked EB Games Australia for comment.
The Switch heads to stores on 3 March for $469.95 AUD.
