    Idea:

    1. Get a switch 2 from Amazon
    2. Get it banned from Nintendo
    3. Return it to Amazon
    4. Let Nintendo and Amazon deal with the pissed customer that gets it later

      Can you return it if is dead? Or displaying on screen something like, software was modified, warranty void,?

        It gives error only when you try to login, the inspector would need to create an account and login. Possible but they barely do “it turns on, it works, can be resold”, it takes too much time, Amazon many times just disposes perfectly fine stuff just because they don’t want to pay $5 for someone to check it

          I seriously doubt Amazon has improved its systems since that Motorcycle guy bought a 6 thousand dollar camera and got a box of rocks…twice.

          Correctino, 6 thousand dollar camera

        For such a short timeframe you can return it because you just don’t want it anymore

          I had this pop up on my feed this morning. They are doing the same thing they did on hacked Switch 1 consoles and basically revoking their certificate, so it can’t connect to Nintendo servers any longer. https://youtu.be/ExgYTA18_vo
