A push notification I got kind of reads like Best Buy’s Switch 2 preorders are only for in-store pickup. Language on Best Buy’s website when I first wrote this post could also be read that way. But Best Buy’s Julia Benda tells me that “shipping and pickup will both be available for preorders.

Get those clicks in quickly because preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are now live at GameStop, and they're likely to sell out quickly. You'll want to grab your new console here if you're trading in an older console since GameStop has the best trade-in value, by far.

It turns out the Nintendo Switch 2 is remarkably difficult to preorder. Luckily, there are ways to track when stores have consoles back in stock.
