New Nintendo Switch OLED model dropped this morning. Seems to be sold out everywhere online.

If it is sold out, what's my next step? Any ideas?
Trying to secure one for Christmas.


Please, don't say Ebay.

Unfortunately there is no answer to this question you will like. These are going to be in the same shape as the XBox and Ps5 units, maybe for a shorter time though but not before Christmas.

Your easiest shot to get one will be Ebay or StockX in a few days. You can use the same strategies to get one that people use for getting a PS5 though, it's just a lot more work.

Finch’s guide to Obtaining a PS5 (or any other console)....


that was originally made for PS5 purchases, but the same rules apply for the new switch.

follow @mattswider on twitter with notifications on. keep your phone on you at all times.

BE PREPARED TO WORK FOR IT!!! IT'S NOT JUST GONNA HAPPEN FOR YOU!!!


if you're in the middle of screwing your wife and your phone dings because of a console drop, you're going to have to stop screwing your wife.

if you're in the middle of a business meeting, you're gonna have to leave it.

if you're in the middle of doing anything, anything at all, you're going to have to stop.

that's how serious it is right now if you want one bad enough. don't come back complaining if you missed a drop because you weren't near your phone or a drop happened while you were asleep. you're not going to get any sleep.

if @mattswider says best buy or walmart will have an in store drop on a specific day, you're gonna have to stand in like 8-12 hours before the store opens that day.


if you can't handle this, you better not even try. because you're going to be disappointed and frustrated.

I've read online about people saying that Target had stock in store even though it says sold out on their app. Going to be a big gamble but worth a shot if a Target is near you.

I got one!!!!!

Local Gamestop only got two. A Gamestop about 40 minutes away got a few DOZEN! He held it for me until I got there.

Lucky, b/c I was the last to get one. Total fluke that I got one in hand.

is it really worth the hassle to try and get the OLED instead of a regular switch?

Why not just get a regular one now and let your kid play it now?

Follow this guy on Twitter and check religiously. He also posts when hard to find consoles are available. https://twitter.com/Wario64

Honestly with how low quality and old those OLED panels are most probably won't.

I have zero idea.

This is for my kid. This is what he said he wanted. He doesn't have a regular switch. This is his first gaming system.

I will not even get credit for this. Santa gets all the credit.

I disagree the next Nintendo Console will be a next gen console and it won’t come around this year.

All you guys trying to get Switches…..do it….I got my daughter one last year for Christmas and the hour or so a week we play Super Mario Maker 2 together is a fun time.
