First of all, I would rather not be banned so how am I going to post the link to the store if I'm probably going to get banned for it? If the answers is I can then I'll edit my post with the link so you guys can help me out with this.

Story: I was surfing the net looking for a Nintendo Switch for retail price on an online store, I came across this site that had them for $214 which amazed me to how anyone hadn't found this site yet.

I would like to ask if this may or may not be a scam site until someone says thats its ok to post the link to the shop, and I'm too stupid/lazy to analyze it.

Thank You!

[edit]
The store name is ThePlaystationPros, heres the link: *removed, scam* please leave feedback on if its legit or not!

You told us everything about the store except the store name. And you can post a link to a store, just not link to roms.

Did you ever find out if these guys are legit? I was wondering the same thing as I saw some good deals on their site but I'd really rather not throw money to the wind :)

Woah, everything they have is so cheap, even brand new stuff. That sounds quite fishy to me. How can they possibly be legit without at least some shady business going on?

I doubt it. It's not even specifying the actual currency. USD$ or CAD$ isn't even being shown and any online retailer specifies what the price is in CAD/USD

How do I remove this thread? I made this thread in a stage where I was desperate to go buy a Nintendo Switch. I don't want this to show here on this site anymore.
You cannot, Contact the moderators or delete your initial post. Why would you want this to be deleted?

I closed the thread, but I'd better not delete it if it can help users doing some research to know if they can buy from them.
It's a scam site, don't use it.

I'm sure some users will still use it as if it was advertising :(
people rarely read all posts from a thread.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
