Saw some Q&A saw custom ask to pay $40 GST.... mine haven shipped yet:(

Bought from the same vendor as you. I got my switch yesterday, didn't have to pay GST. I got it with the $50 discount code, so it was below 400.

ive been trying to buy a game in Japan eshop but its returning an error when I use credit card. there is this selection page with some japanese then 3000Yen and 5000Yen. im guessing the first option means just exactly what the game costs and that's what I always pick. Still getting an error.

anybody who has tried directly buying using credit card?

Mine also under $400, I'm think should be alright? after apply coupon is $365. Your console colour is grey? Use Fedex? I order on 17th, the seller haven sent mine yet.

Just browsed for switch accessories and found this : Emio Switchpad

Anyone knows about this emio switchpad? Google cannot find this product from emio

Any experience buying from gameshome?

LOL. Not if you know... It's not a secret club where we are getting cheap games and laughing at everyone else.

It's when there are promo codes. Currently shopee likes to do the stackable codes where you can apply a normal code and an auto credit card discount when you use a specific bank card. This can get you discounts from about 10 dollars to almost 15 or 20 dollars depending on what game, how much is the min spend for the codes.

But yes. Shopee is now usually the cheapest. Lazada can be quite cheap too during the big sales.

New switch owner here :s12:.

Which region did you guys pick when setting up? The region only affects what eshop you get access to correct?

Hi, anyone owns or bought the Dobe mutli-function charging stand for nintendo switch? Wanna chk the reviews first before i get it.

You mean the one for joy-con / pro-con? If so, yes I bought it.
Very nice charging stand. Has power switch on the stand so you can turn it on/off from here.
Cannot use it to charge switch hor - the output is too low.
On TB, a pic shows it charging the switch but that should be fake. It will take a VERY long time to charge.

Your credit card blocked (for other countries) is it?
Did you try a different credit card? I've been using POSB Everyday since June last year and it always works, no matter which eShop I go to.
