I got one the night it was released. It was my first console on release as well, Nintendo is special to me so it was awesome.
I traded in my Wii U for it so it was cheaper, I dont think I would have been able to get it otherwise. $479 is a fair price but I just wouldnt have been able to afford it.

I am so happy I have it though, Breath of the Wild is beautiful. Its the only game I have and Im more than happy that the Switch is basically a Zelda machine at this point.

The Switch really needs to kick up its social capabilities up a notch but we might see that when the subscription service is introduced.
