For example, there’s two versions of the Switch 2:
Japanese Switch 2
- Price: ¥49,980 ($310)
- Language: Japanese
- Warranty is only bound in Japan
- Japan Nintendo Account only accepted
American Switch 2
- Price: $450 + Tax
- Languages: Multiple
- Warranty is only bound in United States
- Nintendo Account from any region accepted
There’s a catch you got to be aware of: warranty is rescinded when you take hardware out its bound jurisdiction unless you are willing to fork out more money on having it repaired by a technician. Knowing that, should you import it or pay MORE, it’s $450 for a console plus tax but the warranty is entitled to US consumers. The same thing applies to any console really.
No, not because of warranty but because Nintendo is a shit company and they will find a way to lock block brik fuck the console only because of that.
And the price saving isn’t worthwhile the hassle: yes it’s 50% more in US but it’s 450$ not 2000$.
Exactly this!! Fuck Nintendo with a rusty spoon!!!
