I am also looking to buy a 2nd one. Mainly to play the firmware lottery, you never know what you'll get, and to get good deals. Switches are quite overpriced in my country (390 €), but you can find decent deals on ebay for about 320 € shipped (and I have to mention that shipping to my country is expensive as well).
If I don't get a good firmware, I can just resell it again as "new, just opened to test" and maybe even keep the joycons or something.
If you use the serial number thread as a reference it really isn't much of a lottery. You could also get one off Craigslist or eBay with a confirmed firmware version.
im on 3.01 tooi bought mine for Mario odyssey, never went online, so it's 3.0.1
If you want a hackable Switch, you want to get one now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to find a low-firmware Switch for sale at a reasonable price.should i get switch now or wait them to hack it?
