How many of you sacrificing warranty and get from other country unit? Last time missed opportunity to grab at 1699, now got at 1553. Really gambling on this.

That kinda ironic, since the sentiment of some of people in here that the Neon Switch is "embarrassing" to be seen around compared to the Grey ones. Funny that the Neon now is harder to get than the subdued, "not ashamed to be seen in public" Grey, eh? wink.gif
I've learned throughout my experience with Kickstarter and Indiegogo not to trust any of these bold claims. Looking at their Indiegogo page, there's no technical readout of the product they want you to sponsor them to make. What battery cells, Panasonic? Samsung? LG? China-explodey brand? What internal voltage? 3.7V? 5V? 12,000 mAh in what battery configuration, serial or parallel? What charging profile? BC1.2/1.3 (Battery Charging profile, from non USB-PD capable cells?) or USB-PD? If USB-PD, what charge rate? And charging that internal battery, I already know it's gonna be slow because they opted to use a micro-USB connector on that battery instead of USB-C. The fact that it includes a better kickstand or have two slots of game carts means nothing to me, with the plethora of stands available in the market now, as well as game cart cases, which better protect the carts than leaving them exposed in that slot.

Watch their Indiegogo video. They don't even have a working production unit. If you look closely, it's 3D printed, with that telltale rough textured surface. And lots of shots of CAD drawings to compel you to their apparent seriousness. Standard practice on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and veterans on these platforms know how many projects gets funded and followed through and how many of them failed halfway and the project proposers run away with your money.

I saw both connector got micro-usb and usb-c.

I stand corrected, you're right, it does have USB-C, no mention of USB-PD fast charging, both on charging the battery or charging the Switch with it. Still doesn't change my stance towards Indiegogo and/or Kickstarter projects.

Yes, you're right on how Indiegogo and Kickstarter project would be. Some succeed and some failed halfway.
It's still the best to stick with reliable powerbank at least able to charge other devices too.

Malaysia don't have eshop. Set your country to countries that have eshop like US.

Get on web browser and login to your switch account. Then change the region from there. I changed mine to US. I'm first time owner too since long time ago. I manage to use Malaysia credit card to buy those digital game with my account. No need to buy eshop card.

Yeah, bought from offgamers.com..

QUOTE(DushanthDanielRay @ Apr 9 2017, 10:41 AM)
You bought the US 50 card right? That means you MUST set to US region.

yep, so I don't have to create other account for US region, am I right?

So long as your account is set to US already, you shouldn't have a problem. I suggest using a zip code from Oregon since they don't add tax to your purchases. Different States in the US have different amounts of tax and Oregon is tax free. I use 97330.

On the Switch, you can access different region eShops if you add more Users set to different countries. I have one for US (my main), one for Japan and one for UK, since different eShops have exclusive games or release dates. Never use a Malaysian one since there's nothing in that eShop.

My Malaysian Maybank Debit card works on the US account.

Thanks. Changed my region, then I need to agree with term n condition. No part to key in zip code tho.

First day of Switch, without any game, I feel so empty. The Switch itself got nothing much to setup. Turn on, login, update and browse some eshop things. Zelda incoming tomorrow I guess. Hope this Switch can fill the hole where PS4 left on me.

So I guess buying from other region will change back to system language which is English?
For the Japan eShop, can't understand those words.. using Google Translate a bit hassle.
