Buy the LE, sell on the physical cart, buy digital.

Yeah this may be the route I go down, annoying though it is!

I just use the switch vouchers, plus I buy eshop credit with a company discount from work. Not paying more than £40 per game this way.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

It's currently available for under £40 on Base.com.

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I appreciate this. Everyone saying how expensive games are these days seems to have forgotten how the £40 games cost in their youth is much more than the £50 you might pay today (before microtransactions et al.).

I remember some games being £70 back in the 90s. Not special editions or anything, just the game. £70. In 90s money.

I'm not one for buying plastic tat, but I was rather taken with the rupee lamps they are selling on Nintendo both individually and bundled with Link's Awakening...

...until I read the product description; they are 10cm tall. Which isn't very tall at all.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Gonna have to go digital with this. Logically my brain is telling me £50 digital is an obscene rip off. But the sheer convenience of it, and just how good this game looks seems to make it a no brainer. Art books and all are nice, but honestly I've seen enough Zelda art over the years to last me a lifetime.

Swtich is the only console where I still buy physical rather than digital, purely because the games seem to hold their value so well.

Loved the original but never completed because I was a child and it confused me, looking forward to this!
