Nintendo Switch OLED - who needs 4k, dat screen

[Ninja Doctor]

And apparently being produced in smaller numbers than the spectrum vega.

Oh shit, just realised the white one - which I have pre-ordered - comes with a white dock, which will look awful on my TV unit 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Strafe]

How so? It’s white, white goes with everything.

Unless the tv unit is white, in which case he won’t be able to see it?

In that case it won’t look awful then.

You forgot one....

 

I think a device has to actually exist.

 

The Steam Deck's been announced 4 seconds and already the actual thing is being shown off.  The Analogue pocket is 2 years old and we've got a promise and a few renders.

Like, everything I own is black. And the dock cant be hidden away on any of the shelves because you can’t slip the Switch in. At the moment it sits happily on the top next to my black Sonos Arc, but I reckon a white one would stick out like a sore thumb.

[Calashnikov]

I think it’s compatible with the old dock, nah?

[Alex W.]

And I’m sure there are some classic Switch users who want a LAN port who would actually pay to take the old one.

[Indy @ S.E.]

As nice as the white one is I opted for black too just so it blends in with the rest, I ended up changing the casing on my PS5 to black too; that stuck out from the rest so much due it being the size of a small continent.

[Ninja Doctor]

Stick some black sticky back plastic on it

What on earth is an analogue pocket?

Look further up this very thread

It looks like I'll be selling my OG Switch on Wednesday, unless the sale falls through, so I'll be Switchless until I get my OLED. I've pretty much always played the console through my TV, apart from Animal Crossing and Mario Maker, so I'm looking forward to getting into some handheld games with dat screen. Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is going to be my first port of call, I think, after Metroid Dread, anyway. I've got FFX and Xenoblade Chronicles unplayed as well.

[Jamie John]

Want to know something hi-lar-ious? I sold my Switch yesterday but now can't seem to find any evidence of my OLED preorder anywhere, not in my email, phone, Smyths website - nothing. I'm starting to wonder if I actually preordered it via Smyths.

 

Hmm.

[Pug]

Wasn’t going to bother as I don’t touch my Switch, but I like the idea of a bigger screen and OLED is always a better screen choice.

Are the old controllers compatible as I don’t want multi colour, bright ones and would use my grey ones. Otherwise I’d get the white.

 

Of course then there’s the matter of finding a pre-order for one…..

[Alex W.]

Exactly the same controllers.

Hmm.

 

Smyths have got back to me to say they have no record of a pre-order. God knows why I didn't chase it up at the time when I didn't get a confirmation email.

 

So, I now have no Switch and no pre-order. 

 

🙃

 

Anyone know of any good stock alert Discords or Twitter feeds for the white OLED model? I've signed up to StockInformer's pings, but they're not the best. I'm hoping this won't be quite as sought after as the PS5 and XSX. I really don't want to go through with having to chase stock again.

[Jamie John]

Never mind - just pre-ordered one at Very. Got the confirmation email this time, too! I'm glad I don't have to worry about that, now.

 

🙃 ➡️ 🙂

[Ninja Doctor]

And I’m out. Preorder cancelled. Picked up a regular v2 switch. I’m happy with the stock screen and this model will look the same on the telly. 

[Not Thread Owner]

Sure, but it won’t look the same *behind* the telly.

[Pug]

Very.co.uk and Amazon are taking pre-orders again, not checked anywhere else.

Thank you very much, been waiting for this!

[The Mighty Ash]

I don't think I have ever been this conflicted about a console purchase 🤔

[the_debaser]

Metroid Dread is out the same day. Can’t wait to hook up the new switch, pop it behind the telly and get going on it. 

[shirubagan]

OLED model is currently available for pre-order at Amazon:

Lovely - pre-ordered a blue/pink one to go with the order for a white one I already have.

 

I do love the white one, and it’s different and new, but it’s the white dock I’m still unsure about 😭

Paint it/cover it in stickers/one of those shit wraps from eBay/hide it from view if it bothers you that much?
