Yikes. $299.99 is a little high. I'm still getting one, hopefully at launch.

£280, however, is too high. In current exchange rates that $350.

That is not on Nintendo though. They let retailers in Europe choose the pricing.

Gotta say, after all the waiting for the Switch news and reveals, it's hard to believe this console is launching in about a month. It still feels like it should be longer than that, I think in part, because there are still a lot of unknowns about the system.

Dude, shut up, Khush. Shut your dirty mouth. Don't jinx this. I've waited for a new Zelda for six years. I need this.
