Rather than face online frustrations many Switch 2 hopefuls were more successful preordering in person. Switch 2 preorders are sold out online everywhere. But some people have managed to snag one using once conventional but now antiquated means: going to GameStop and preordering one in store.

GameStop's Switch 2 preorders page shows the console is now sold out, though you should check your orders page in case you got lucky.

An employee at the Shirley GameStop said, "Everyone who waited on line got one. We only had to turn away three people."
