Holy shit, $649 CAD (canadian dollars) for console only. I knew our dollar was in the dumpster but that's some mighty sticker shock right there
$AU699 for the console only. That's slightly cheaper than the CAD pricing, and a little better than the US pricing, based on current exchange rates.
I should be able to get a five percent discount (discounted gift cards: buy the gift card, then use the gift card to buy the thing), but even so, $AU664 is still a chunk of change. I think I'll have to wait until I've covered off a few other expenses.
As I like to say: everything is going up except my salary. I get it, but the $AU230 jump from the original Switch is a bit hard to swallow for the time being. Maybe once there's a bigger line up of games - JB currently has just nine listed, two of them the two major Zelda games re-released for the Switch 2, and the other seven aren't really of any interest to me. I'd
like to say that I'll buy it, but right now... alas, I can't.
