Like you, planning on "giving" it to my daughter and wife... Although we all play it together already. It'll be nice to actually take my switch 2 out of the docket for lunch at work.

Probs give it away to extended family

Gonna be my kid's machine. It'll play minecraft for another decade.

We have a Switch OG, Switch Lite and SwOLED. We plan to sell the Lite- turn the OG into a retro console in the future and keep the OLED for posterity 😊

Hard lesson learned with my PSP and Xbox 360 Slim (RGH capable), never sell any system, you will regret it later.

I wanna sell mine, but i have a broken kick stand and my buttons get stuck and make a cracking sound which probably isn’t good

Not sure how much I’d really get for it so it’ll probably end up laying around as a momento for my old console collection

Likely keep it for the kid, after eight years, and having reached the end of its usable life before Zelda: Echoes, I don’t think the resale value of the OG will be at all great

I've got a launch model which I think are fairly easy to softmod, so it'll probably become my portable emu machine which is what my PSP has been for ages.

My son and I both have Switch OLED, and mine is the TOTK limited edition. I’m really not sure what I will do with it at this time.

justliz.bsky.social•47 days ago

I have that one and I’m defo keeping it, I love it

Put the old one in a different room like a bedroom, media room, etc. Mine will most likely go to the master bedroom.

I won't be in a rush to get a 2, but when I do eventually, the 1 will hang around for the kids.

Gonna keep mine since it’s the animal crossing edition. I always save my Nintendo consoles.

justliz.bsky.social•47 days ago

Mine is the special edition Zelda TOTK OLED so I’m defo keeping it. I have a switch light that I’ll give to my nephew though

jon-edicola.bsky.social•46 days ago

Yup, it’s gonna stay in the family. My 4 yo is just starting to discover the magic 😊

I have OLED, SO has Lite, kid has my OG model. I'm going to mod the OG and let him use the OLED.

jamiestorytime.bsky.social•46 days ago

My little girl will be hitting the age to have her own console when it comes out, so I’m thinking she will get the OLED

I think they will be worth keeping for hacking with custom firm ware. The homebrew community has already done a lot with them and I think thr scene will only get bigger once everyone has old Switches in draws to tinker with.

graemebuchan.bsky.social•46 days ago

I’ve still got my launch system and will be keeping my TOTK OLED version too once I get the Switch 2. Both my kids have OLED versions, and will probably upgrade them to Switch 2 for Xmas. All in this year with Switch 2!
