Anybody else 'round here securing a pre-order?

I snagged one from the meme stock store earlier today and JUST got the confirmation email so I think I'm good (fingers crossed I don't get a cancelled order email later lmao)

After getting a Steam Deck my interest in the Switch 2 dropped significantly.

I love my Switch and all the great 1st party games I have for it, but I cant justify buying the Switch 2 right now.

It's tough getting 50-85% discounted games on Steam and then go back to Nintendo and seeing games at full price years after release (I know I know "Nintendo games retain their value").

Not only that but I need to prioritize bills and essentials over games right now. Even with games being $5-10 on Steam I decide against it since I can use that towards groceries, gas, or utilities.
