the quotes are from where de?
so far no news from Qisahn yet.
to put things into context and best case scenario, if the price is 699.
699SGD - 139SGD (bundle) = 560SGD
300USD = 425SGD
so we have to cough out 135SGD extra? lol

I think someone posted a pic of his SMS from Playe saying e price is ranged
from ($699-$749)
Add GST will be about $460 so $100 for warranty. Trying to make myself feel better
Someone on that reddit thread mentioned.

USD$300 for console translates to about SGD$455 GST inclusive.
USD$50 + 60 for the 2 games translates to about SGD$167 GST inclusive
The extra we're paying is about $80 more than what you'll pay in US

Even if you ignore the extra 135SGD (560-425), the problem is that you are paying 139SGD for Zelda (cos the 1-2-switch is worth 0SGD to most ppl, as any tech demo should).
A bigger problem is, so you spend all these extra money to buy it day 1, play Zelda and complete it in a week (or a month if you play slowly and 100%)... then what? It goes back into the box and gets stored away for 6 months or more till something good comes up. Or you end up buying at full price some games that you normally wouldn't touch, games that are not worth their price tag (like 1-2-switch, or overpriced ports from better platforms). It's basically the original Wii scenario again (and repeated with Wii Fit).
It's back for pre order on Amazon Japan. 31568 Yen after shipping. No taxes because it's just below SGD$400!

Hopefully you managed to get one. Basically just input your Singapore address. They ship this globally.
