@Resolution101 : Really half price? wow if this is true you really have nailed it Bro. even for me i bought from Nintendo Online they deduct $418 from my card, i think 20% less from the price here locally. Good for you ... ;)

Tokyo is selling at 29,800 yen (without tax) for the base switch. If use visa to pay, another 5% discount. :)

using the google exchange rate, that's about 370$.

I bought mine at Tokyo, tons of cheap accessories there too :D

Ur credit card statement out le?
Cos I thought there admin fees and for yen, they convert to USD first before they convert to SGD?

It's indeed around $37x if buy direct in Japan, if Amazon add another 10,000 yen but if u deduct the games bundle and useless amiibo away in SG, it's not half price..

Most credit card in Singapore add 3-3.5% to the transaction.
It's definitely impossible to buy at half SG price.
The best you can get is Y29,800 which is equivalent to $372.5 if you pay by cash. Unbundled switch here only cost $550 last I check.

it is around
Uhm, it's no where near 50%. Best case scenario it's at 70% of SG price.

550 is like the official price. Can get "discounted" price everywhere locally by using coupon etc. :s13: So its more like just 460+.

I paid by cash since I had changed yen at a good rate.

Anyway, it's impossible to find any store in Japan selling below 29,800 yen atm. They don't even have enough stocks and it's sold out very fast. Some shops mark up at crazy prices, like 41k yen for those desperate enough.

Not sure about Carousell, but Qisahn sells bundle (Zelda and Just Dance) at $659.
Non-bundle export set at Lazada is $479 sold by Gaming Buddy, which you can get extra $30 off on Wednesday with Standard Chartered credit card.
