My young adult son has autism, and one of his important things is his Nintendo Switch. He has been obsessed with the new Switch 2 getting released, he is trying to save his money for it, so far he has £10. I'll be buying him one using his PIP money which I have in a separate account for him.
I (stupidly) didn't realise they were released for pre order this week, and (stupidly) thought I'd just be able to go into a shop, reserve one, then pick it up. Only that's not the case, it's like the PS5 saga all over again.
Loads of pre orders already on resale sights for up to £200 more. Meaning the people who want them, true fans like my son, will have to wait longer or battle online for a pre order.
Scalpers are scum, they make money out of other peoples misery. Shameful. And yes I know that they're only selling to an audience who will pay the overinflated price, still doesn't make it morally right.
I think I have managed to get him one from Very, the payment has been taken and it's showing in my orders, so hoping it is. The anxiety I'm feeling though, it's ridiculous. I went through the whole think for my other son when the PS5 came out. It was almost a year before I managed to get one.
