That's what I figured too - I opened mine up when it arrived the other day as it has a couple of metal weights in. Took a good 15% off the weight of the controller, so much better for the kids.
Any one that could share https://www.studentbeans.com/uk code? Nintendo OLED is back at nintendo and with the code drops to ~279
Think they've been there since it was announced.
Yep, if you have SD card even better. I did mine in less than 20mins.
They only appeared yesterday after the announcement apparently. Suggests the game is imminent. Most thinking March.
Odd, I saw it weeks if not months ago. Was just a plain white placeholder with BOTW2.
Some have an image like Game but that appears to be a placeholder still. A lot of youtubers that follow Nintendo were talking about the news of the release on their channels yesterday
Ah ok fair enough. Not like I'll be playing it, I just recall seeing it on sites before.

Anyone else with the Switch OLED notice they seem to have optimised the dock LAN/fixed some issues in the last few firmware updates?
On release, the LAN on the dock was restricted to the same roughly 80mbps the WiFi connection could do but today I ran a few speed tests whilst sorting some stuff at home and noticed it was pulling around ~135mbps via LAN repeatedly, although same old 70-80 via WiFi.
Not been downloading much, and it's still not great for a gigabit connection, but that is at least a good 50% faster than WiFi now, and I'll take 16MBps for downloads over 10MBps anyday! Maybe a good sign for future firmware optimisations, now LAN is in the dock and more users will have one?

It's a fantastic game, not tried it on Switch but was tempted for £10.
How is the frame rate when playing hand-held?
I picked up Subnautica for £12.50, didn't need it as own it on pretty much every other platform but what the heck!
Is good, obviously the frame rate and textures have taken a hit as expected but impressed they have it running at all.
That is good considering it runs like crap even on SX/PS5
Runs great for me on PS5. The resolution takes a hit if you want 60FPS but given the next gen updates were free and the age of the game/engine I think you have to temper your expectations somewhat.
Respectfully disagree. Seems the choice is between distracting screen tearing or pop in and less FPS.
Sooner PS enables VRR the better, why it wasn't enables from day one like Xbox I'll never know.
