Hello guys, iv been looking hard to find one on 3.0.0 or below. Iv found one and looked up the serial on the google document, but I can't find/decide if its 3.0.0 or below.


Serial Number: XAJ400207XXXXX
Region: EUR
Firmware: Requesting firmware
System Color: NEON
Store: Mediamarkt
Was a bundle (if yes, which): No

The closest I can find on the google document is XAJ400205XXXXX which is on 3.0.1, However it is 1 number different then the one I found..

Since the numbers are in Order, you don't need the same exact serial number to know which firmware you will get.

If XAJ400205 comes with 3.0.1, then XAJ400207 is at least 3.0.1 as well since it is a higher serial.

No serial visible anywhere on box. The box looked different than the picture in OP, with just a big white spot where the code would be. Is this a thing in Japan only or what? Had to ask the dude to open it up. Thankfully store clerks here are super abiding.

Added an additional breakdown by region sheet to original switch firmware sheet found in my sig and in the main post. As always, you can sort the rows if needed, just sort back to the first column when done or just don't save.

There's a ton of switches here in Oregon but it seems they all 3.0.1+ but each store has about 50 of them and iv been to 4 so far and they only checked a handful of them for me if they even really checked so I guess I didn't get lucky. Well at least I got it for $240
