Yeah i mean if that happened he's shit out of luck, but I'll err on the side of caution with that theory.Unless like I've mentioned, he sold it to himself from a store he works at.
For sure, the post he replied to specified I was taking the story at face value. If the story changes, obviously my thoughts will change.we're clearly missing some crucial info
Calm down. It's obvious hiphop did something sketchy.
I'm sure there are reasons behind this, but man, it really sucks for him I guess.Calm down. It's obvious hiphop did something sketchy.
Oh believe me, I made sure everything was legit as I was extremely skeptical when I was first contacted. And I am not dealing directly with Nintendo but with a third party working on their behalf. But I made sure to ask for plenty of proof before I handed over a console.
If his story is true, yes. I agree. But that's doubtful.Someone's a little touchy. I do not hate Nintendo, I've a switch paid off already and have owned every Nintendo console or handheld for the last twenty years. Putting it plainly if he doesn't get reimbursed somehow it's complete bullshit. He bought a Switch, he should get one of the monetary value.
why would he go through the trouble to get a console with no games weeks before day one?Given the circumstances that no one else seems to have been "accidentally" shipped a console yet and hiphoptherobot doesn't want to talk about those circumstances nor is he upset that "Nintendo has the console back", I seems to me that while hiphoptherobot did buy it (which is why he's saying he's not getting in trouble with Nintendo), but somewhere along the line whoever he got it from got it through means where they aren't allow to have it and sold something that is essentially stolen. I mean, I doubt units are going out to stores and may be out at warehouses at this point, but not to where they are accidentally getting shipped, especially only one Switch being shipped out by any big box retailer 2 weeks early. That last part set off my BS alarm from the beginning.
Nintendo was possibly able to prove where he got it or at least would be aware of where along the supply chain he might have been able to get a retail unit early and how it wouldn't be allow to be sold by whoever gave it to him.
Private legal and/or security firm I'm guessing....
Companies know where things were shipped. When I bought FF15 at launch Amazon shipped me a case with 30 copies of the game with a label to Amazon warehouse sent from Square Enix. First thing I did was call Amazon and sent it back because I didn't want to be on the hook for over $1,800 worth of FF15.Sure how will nintendo know who shipped it then?
What the fuck? How so?
What? This is horrible. This story needs to be spread! Fuck them!
why would he give his console back if his story is to be taken at face value?
why is he being vague now?
why is he considering Nintendo's actions reasonable in this situation?
How soon before we hear him talking about being contacted by Nintendo?
I love that he didn't post on YouTube. Smart.
I've gotten consoles shipped to me by mistake before launch. The OG Xbox and the 360. No one called me and demanded I send it back with no refund. He also would not be saying Nintendo is acting cool about it by not giving him a refund. There's simply no way this story adds up. Either he knowinglyWhat the fuck? How so?
My post was taking things at face value, thought it was clear. Sorry if not.If his story is true, yes. I agree. But that's doubtful.
And if it were true they wouldn't just out him his $300. Nintendo does a lot of stupid things, but being nitpicking and greedy like this is not one of them.
lol, what? What country are you in? Because in many (most? all?) all of those games were yours, free and clear. They can't charge you for goods you didn't ask for, and they can't demand you send them back.Companies know where things were shipped.

Because fucking Nintendo told him to give it back and he was probably scared/nervous.

Pretty sure someone got a Day One XBO early. They just had to sign an NDA I believe.

He's either press or he stole it.I've gotten consoles shipped to me by mistake before launch. The OG Xbox and the 360. No one called me and demanded I send it back with no refund.

A) bought it from someone who signed an NDA
B) bought it from someone who works at a game store
C) bought it from someone who stole it
D) stole it himself
If we take everything that hiphoptherobot has said at face value, the device was acquired legally, which means anything Nintendo does is shitty, not "cool"
United States. And I believe in positive Karma so I sent them back voluntarily.lol, what? What country are you in? Because in many (most? all?) all of those games were yours, free and clear. They can't charge you for goods you didn't ask for, and they can't demand you send them back.

he got scammedBruh
he got scammed
Ok that's fine, very noble of you. But you were never "on the hook for over $1,800 worth of FF15."United States. And I believe in positive Karma so I sent them back voluntarily.
Unless like I've mentioned, he sold it to himself from a store he works at.
Bruh
I'm fine with being skeptical, but it's kinda crazy how some of you turned on the guy at the drop of a dime just because Nintendo looks like the bad guy here with the limited information we have.
I've received games that early accidentally but not hardware. This stuff sits in warehouses for weeks before release so it's not that hard to believe. This case is a different story.The idea of getting one shipped two weeks early never made much sense.
