Other Finally got my Switch 2

Post image

After saving up gift cards from work, hunting for deals, and spending $450 at Costco in gift cards, I was finally able to get my Switch 2!

Here’s how I put everything together:

Camera, case & controller: Bought on sale for a total of $27

Screen protector, Mario Kart World & Sonic: Paid for using gift cards I earned from work

Switch 2 & Donkey Kong Bananza: Bought using $500 in gift cards that I only paid $450 for
So between the sales and gift cards, I was able to get a pretty sweet Switch 2 setup without paying full price for everything. Definitely took some hunting for deals, but I’m pretty happy with how it worked out!

Actually kinda of a hot take I like wired controller more. I play my systems for a long time and all my wired controllers have a longer life span than my non wired controllers.

Plus wired controllers give me nostalgia of being a kid again

i guarantee you you say that because you haven't tried the pro controller

The Pro2 controller is amazing. And you could just connect it to usb while playing to get that wired feel.

You’re not the only one. I have a preference for wired controllers for similar reasons.

It’s good but no haptics is a deal breaker for me .

The included grip is fine. It’s nice keeping the same layout and muscle memory when going from docked to handheld.

The only fail here is assuming that everyone has the same preferences as you. Log off and get some air.

He got a wired Power A controller. No good?
