Nintendo Switch orders delayed: Dun dun dun... dundundun dundundun dadada!

Somebody is lying

Nintendo told me yesterday that my console had been dispatched via Royal Mail for next day delivery.

Nintendo told me today to expect my console next Wednesday.

(Royal Mail tell me that the tracking number I've been given does not exist)

It's one thing to not have enough consoles to meet demand, it's another to tell people they have been dispatched when they haven't.

Half of youngsters would swap PRIVACY for... cheaper insurance

Re: Understandable

Absolutely - This has nothing to do with privacy, and everything to do with young/first time drivers currently being priced off the road.
