i rather buy a new local set instead

i bought mario odessy set at sgd 461 compared to local sgd 6++ (exclude the coupons, discount, points)

its a saving worth it i think.

and worst, local are dismantling the casing and selling it separately. thats too much ripoff I cannot take it....

yes, i bought mine at HK, hence warranty need to go back to distro at HK.
unless maxsoft in SG kind-heart to accept our unit :D

anyway, Ravpower 26.8k powerbank is having promo now. gotten mine this afternoon at CEF'2017. they even put a information note - PB for Nintendo Switch :s13:

Their USB-A to USB-C cable is good quality as well. just cost $11.

If you are using that Ravpower PB then you should get type-c to type-c cable. Which charge at a faster rate than normal usb-a to type-c cable.

why still bot frm oversea?
warranty will be a leceh issue

unless you really damn suay, I don't see why cannot buy overseas?

Local Maxsoft warranty == lousy like crap. Joy-cons only 3 months.
For the main body, I don't see it failing anytime unless you are burning it intensively.
If it's defective for a start, you will already know and can get it exchanged.

Local set for $6xx is really too high. Why should consumers be suckers and suck it up just so retailers can earn more?

Amazon is also retailing them at US$300. That's SGD$410. World market playing at this price, why SG must be so much higher?
Cos SG consumers are just suckers who will just suck it up. We should fight for our consumer rights, and stop feeding the retail leechers...

seems all the shop....

"Super Mario Odyssey carrying case NOT included"

the one i bought at 37,900 yen (about 460 sgd) comes with game and carry case.

singapore ones no doubt comes with 2 games (mario and SF) selling at sgd 679.

no carry case included

how come local switch console so overpriced in Singapore but game prices seem to be quite a good value? eg mario odyssey US MSRP equivalent to 81 sgd, but in SG can find mario odyseey at below 70 sgd
