Big W offering Nintendo Switch bundles for Zelda and 1-2 Switch
Update: An photo of the scan has now been published by Press-Start. We have also confirmed that this offer will be extended to those who have already preordered.
Original Story: In addition to the game and accessories pricing we got this morning we have now confirmed that Big W will have a couple of Nintendo Switch bundles for launch day.
There will be two, a choice of either a Nintendo Switch plus The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a total of $519 or a Nintendo Switch plus 1-2 Switch for $499.
This bring Breath of Wild down to $50 (save $39.95) and 1-2 Switch down to just $30 (save $39.95). That’s massive savings of the RRP of both those titles.
Because Big W have closed off preorders you’ll have to face the hoards on March 3rd to secure this pricing. This offer is being told to customers in stores now, but will also be advertised in this weeks coming catalogue.
Does this change your launch day purchase decision?
So if you’ve already preordered they won’t give you the bundle pricing?
That really sucks.
If the bundles are true they will definitely give them to you if you preordered
I’m hoping they’ll be happy to update your preorder when you get there to pick it up. I might ring them up tomorrow.
Friend works at Big W and it seems that if you have pre-ordered, you can still get the bundles.
Cool I hope jbfi price match lol
What annoys me – EB Gamesdont match bundles. So anyone who preordered there is out of luck.
Eb does price but only in the morning not at midnight launches lol
Meh, I’m still happy I preordered all of my kit, games and amiibo at EB. Im not working Friday, so I will be at the midnight launch and up all night drinking Red bull and playing zelda and bomberman ?
It would if they still had preorders available 🙁
Goddammit big w, tell me this sooner!
When will we see this officially Vooks?
People have been bugging the EB facebook team about the bundle.
This was their response:
EB Games Australia Hi …,
We are waiting for confirmed details for this deal. Once we have had a chance to check it out we can advise further re: price matching.
If we can get official confirmation and enough people make a deal of it on social then maybe the stores will be more inclined to match it.
Can’t we just get one form EB Games at midnight, then one from Big W (stock dependant) and return the unopened one to EB Games? From their return policy looks like there are 7 days refund for change of mind.
Sooo it’s now 28 Feb, three days out from launch and this catalogue is nowhere to be seen…
