Damn my screen protector will only bé shipped in 10 days



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

the problem seems to be that for some Switch Docks the front bit bends inwards, making it much harder to dock/undock the Switch without making contact



I have the cheaper Hori protective film on mine just because I put screen protectors on all my stuff.  went on beautifully and I'm sure like the others, won't have any issues staying where I put it.  Hori also makes a "premium" version.

LookI looked at a glass product option, but decided to stick with Hori because of past experience.

Personally, I think it's a case of people getting way too worked up over something that's a non issue.  anyone recall the interwebs exploding with people saying the Wii connect 24 would ruin the gpu by overheating while in standby mode?  it never happened.  so yeah, it's like that.

Not sure because my Wii GPU gets artifacts/glitches that pop up on certain games (like in MH3 the pixels on the walls would glitter in some areas).  Sure it might have been because I played it a lot but never had a graphic card problem before with any Nintendo products (after the story starting popping up I immediately turned the option off, same goes with standby mode for Wii U which I used it for a little but turned it off).  The problem was the fan didn't run at all in standby mode which could lead to overheating.  Just ask Microsoft about heating problems and using lead free solder with no edge bond around chips to keep them in place.

Yeah, that would explain this issue for some people. A real design problem would be hard to miss on the docking part in all the internal testing. A production problem would easier to miss.

Thank god i got one with a straight front .



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

For f×ck sake Nintendo you couldn't make the inside of the dock from a soft material. It would have cost like $2 to do so or even better make it 1 cm wider and a small lock so the Switch doesn't really touch the sides while docked. Or just make sure it's straight, it would be awful if people scratch their screens because of this.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

hopefully by the time i buy the switch in 3 years they have this sorted out. and maybe a power bump Pro version. with new nvidia chip.

Man, the Switch is looking like a mandatory $399-$449 if you want a game and all the things to fix issues with it.

They should have copied the PSP Go's dock.

that's a dock for the original vita, not the PSP Go.

I want it!
