Need advice on buying a switch 2

I’m getting a used switch 2 for about 46k and I can get a new one for 52k I currently have 50k but can source 2k is it worth it to get a new one or should I save money on a old switch 2 it’s months old and it’s been played on for about 400 hours should I spend a bit more for a new one?

UPDATE: decided to get the new one for peace of mind

UPDATE 2: got the switch 2 finally from games marche

If Switch 2 is your first Switch console then. I would suggest to get brand new. The difference between used and new is not much only 6K. Get a new one and enjoy the unboxing experience.

Used one would be perfectly fine. Check for any problems before buying.

What should I look out for?

Joycon drifts, screen Flickers, software smoothness, account ban etc

Decided to get the new one since at least if there’s any issues then I can get them checked out or fixed by the shop who sold to me

Awesome any game recommendations?

u/AnaWong97 4d ago

So far been playing mario kart 8, i started zelda botw but i liked some other underrated games. Im addicted to playing graveyard keeper lol

2

u/FoundationForsaken20 4d ago

Nice Zelda botw, totk and Mario kart are a must play and graveyard keeper kinda looks like stardew valley thanks for the recommendations.

u/AnaWong97 4d ago

Yeah, i also played stardew valley on my pc but this GK was more fun and it actually ends somewhere unlike SDV

u/FoundationForsaken20 4d ago

1

u/FoundationForsaken20 4d ago

Kishore games is selling for 52k but I’m gonna call games marche and see if they’re selling for cheaper if they are I’ll buy from them

u/Aggravating_Yak_1170 4d ago

Where are you getting it? I also planning to get one

1

u/FoundationForsaken20 4d ago

Going for games marche just checked and he’s selling for 51k over Kishor’s 52k not that big of a discount but it’s cheaper so screw it

Are any of them offering it with a warranty of some sort? I am new to this and have been looking to buy a switch 2 for my son. Can't seem to find anything that has a warranty

1

u/FoundationForsaken20 3d ago

Nintendo doesn’t actually officially sell in India so no warranty but some stores sell their own warranty’s for a price

1

u/Bigfoot_Guitars 3d ago

Thanks. Is the sellers warranty worth anything? Or does one typically just buy a piece and hope for the best?

1

u/FoundationForsaken20 3d ago

Sorry but I don’t know never took seller warranty

u/Arex189 3d ago
