I bought the famous $7 Nintendo Switch from Temu! But unfortunately, I had to pay more than $7 to get it - they advertise the $7 switch as extremely limited, and people claim to have gotten it for $7, but I'm not sure I believe them. If you look at the reviews on the switch listing I purchased from, it's a bunch of people talking about how happy they are for getting a switch for $7, but the reviews are just... weird. If you go take a look at them, you'll see what I mean. My conclusions is that yes, you can buy the $7 switch from Temu... you're just gonna have to pay more than $7 (and hand over a bunch of personal info as well).

Also btw, you can't convince me that anyone has actually paid only $7 for this switch console 😂 I mean as you can see in this video, clearly anyone can buy this switch, but the whole $7 thing seems too good to be true to me... let me know what you think
Comment below if you've gotten a switch from Temu for less than $300... ($7, free, $100, etc.). I've had a few people say they have... but with my Temu experiences, I have a hard time believing it 😂
@@jrob0021I got a Switch Lite for like $150 bucks with tax rather than the standard price of 200+ with tax.
How did you find it for 7? I can only find it for 300+...

@@jrob0021did you know temu they're under investigation for using slave labor to make some of their products right
This whole video is a scam. You did not buy legit Nintendo Switch Consoles for $7 from Temu. You accepted a deal from them, where they sent you legit Switches, but made out you bought them for $7 or £25 and you were permitted to act like it was a scam, just to drive business their way… 🙄

Temu is a data crypting eebsite
It’s an old trick. There are even sellers on amazon who sell legit products to get good reviews but changing the title and photos. (The url stays the same so the reviews also)
I would suspect that the actual $7 ones were sent to 'influencers' to drum up word of mouth for temu personally, that seems the normal tactics employed by these companies
Yea you figure it out, it doesn't matter if you gave away 10k if you can bag 50k
He never showed how he unpacked the whole console, he always cut it together
They do have $7 but only at specific time for a limited amount.
People buy a $7 Switch tells everyone then those people try out the app bc someone they know personally got a something legit, even though they probably won’t be able to get it.
It’s a marketing deal.
@@TheGrimStrideI don’t think anyone personally knows someone who got those crazy deals. I know someone who uses Temu but, they really just buy stuffed animals for their kid. I’m not surprised that they actually get what they want in those cases as they are also spending about $20-30 on them. Not under $20 for a $300+ console.
People getting these from
temu and other sites for cheap has actually forced Amazon to required sellers to certify that they are selling the US version of the TotK switch when listing it for sale on Amazon. Everyone getting the $7 switches has flooded the US market with these foreign region systems.
Forgive my ignorance of this. But genuine question, is there a problem with the Japan made systems being in the US?

My advice for shopping on TEMU would be the same I've upheld for Wish and AliExpress;
Don't buy electronics, keep to simple stuff, I've gotten brushes, socks, just little things I wouldn't be sore over if it happened to be a knockoff.
Yeah the main things, i did that too
Don't buy *built* electronics. When it comes to parts, AliExpress can often be a lifesaver (as long as you're not getting, say, more advanced ICs like microcontrollers, or PC parts)
Exactly!!!! Way to dangerous
I say that as well on very shop like those . Never buy electronics there , way to risky
Don’t buy from Temu at all. They apply slave labour among children to make their products remarkably cheap
my advice is to never shop at these places
I appreciate the detail and effort that went into this video, but personally the fact that you diddnt buy the $7 switch is misleading. The issue is that, as far as I know, theres no way to be sure that the ones you actually purchased are the same ones you would be sent if you were to buy the $7 ones.
Not even that his title of the video is misleading too.
@@skyecloud968 did you not see the receipts?? he paid over 1k for all 3 consoles lol
@@dzjayyyeah so they’re all real
@@techsk8er1O5 yea I think so too😂 this guy is so good at baiting that nobody even took their time to look at the receipt
He put "$7" in quotation marks in the title, which is a big hint that the $7 Switch was not $7. He also clearly states in the video how much he paid and is SUPER CLEAR about it. You people act like he should reveal the conclusion of his video in the title. He spent a ton of money to make this video, and isn't required to tell you what he paid in the title. The title needs the "$7 Switch" part, so people know what the video is about. That isn't misleading at all, if anything, he is far and away clearer than most CZcamsrs would be. He is spending money so other people don't have to waste their time.
That 'odd' Hong Kong mains adapter is in fact a 100% legit UK adapter. Hong Kong is an ex-British colony, their power outlets are still the same as ours I believe.
That’s confirmed as I visited London uk and that’s the plug I saw!
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 Thank you for confirming!
I’m British and that looks like my switch charger too
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440I live in London and can confirm this
Yep! I was going to comment about that. It's weird how Hong Kong get the correct plug while Singapore and Malaysia get the wrong plug on their Nintendo power adaptors (we get European instead of British plugs on ours) and have to use plug converters. Probably was a decision on the part of the local distributor.
For me here in Singapore, I was able to get a power adaptor with the correct plug from a grey market seller, and I believe the distributors expected us to use plug converters.
That doesn't look like dust. It's probably fibers shedding from something inside the box like the cardboard. That's what it looks like to me anyway.
Yeah but he wanted to do the tinfoil thing, probably mocking "baddies". Just a guess.
He need really bad find something wrong to justify the scam on the thumbnail.
It could be dust. They stack these things in open warehouses in Asia. So yeah, dust.

Safe to breathe and inhale right? Absolutely not. What was Temu thinking?
I was on the Temu band wagon, loved the products and cost. However, I returned a dress because it did not fit. They issued me a credit. Then, they debited my back account the cost of the dress. Stating they did not receive the dress. So far, we are even except I don't have the dress. Then they send me a confirmation of receiving the dress. So, now they have the dress, they have the original payment and a second payment they debited from my account. I have been texting back and forth and they continue to state I have the credit. I decided I was tired of arguing with them and would use my credit and chalk up the $68.55 as a learning lesson. I tried to use my credit and received a notice that my credit was not available. I am posting this on all the Temu haul videos I can find. If you buy from Temu - do not return anything! They are horrible and have now charged me twice for a dress that I do not have.
I had an issue with some hats I ordered from them and wasn’t satisfied. They reimbursed my money and told me not to worry about sending the hats back… and this was all in a matter of 10 minutes.. super strange you had that issue
they,on top of aliexpress,alibaba,etc steals your info amd takes your money
Call your bank and tell them it’s fraud, it is fraud and temu won’t fight your bank, you will get your money back.. don’t make it a learning lesson, don’t give those thieves your hard earned money
The switch isn’t region locked so there’s no problem with that (eshop is based of the country set on your Nintendo account not the console)
Exactly if you set it up as U.S
There's no issues!!!!!!!!
The actual wifi bands are different that has nothing to do with region locking

Part of me was expecting all of these to be one of those "Famiclone" consoles with a bunch of NES roms packed in. Also, I highly doubt it's even possible for Switch consoles to be infected with malware.

@@jeffreypeters5578 ahh true but only the launch or early switch models are capable. As for modding the others you need a modchip/board which requires some high level soldering skills.
temu has scam switches too, they are a business to consumer middleman app (china to the world).
If those are legit switches, just from like Japan and Hong Kong, then this is surely a really good way to get limited edition joy-cons for cheap
there legit ninendo selling them verified too on temu he just wanted to jump on the ban wagon an say its a scam to just get views smh
i can’t find any on the website, did they stop selling them ? :((
"cheap" except just watch the part where he shows how much he paid
They're not cheap though? It's the exact same price as anywhere else.
@@nAcolz in temu you can lower the price of everything tho
I purchased the so called $7 switch. I got it by checking at 10pm every night. The night I finally I got it, it was only $0.99. I paid $1.05 via paypal. And began my wait. It took one day longer than expected so Temu ended up giving me a $10 credit. I was essentially paid $8.95 to buy the Switch. I received the Splatoon Oled Japan edition with no adapter attached to box. I’ve had no issues. They no longer are doing this promotion, but I got it solely because I watch CZcams all the time as it was an CZcams ad.
Snd nds
I believe it's due to Nintendo coming out with a new version to keep up with handhelds like the Steam deck etc. They're made in China and Japan so there is probably a surplus of consoles left in their factories so knowing that gamers are going after the new they're selling them at a lower rate to make something off them opposed from letting them become even more obsolete to the point they wouldn't be able to give them away.
This is more about Temu than Nintendo. This is unrelated to the Steam Deck and Switch rivalry. The Oled isn’t really meant to compete since there no real significant upgrades to the hardware. It’s not a switch pro it’s just a switch with a prettier screen and other small quality of life changes.
I think TEMU has Chinese people buying up used Switches from Yahoo Auctions, Mercari etc in Japan and then sell it for almost no revenue.
Then they make use of gained interest by applying viruses, social frauds etc.
if u got the one that copst around 300$ then u get the real switch 1 the 7$ u should know is a scam cus it cost more then 7$ just to make the switch but if u get the one that cost around 300$ u get the real switch new and its 50$ less then in the u.s but u will be geting a hong kong verson but still play american switch games and still got english wrighting just the box is in hong kong not english wrighting
Wrong, Nintendo has them accounted for.
1 thay don't make the clame this is a real switch but if u pay 300$ u can get a splatoon edition switch oled a real one and it do come in the mail unlike wish ware u get a box of rocks with temu u get a real switch well as long as u order the one that 300 and clame to be a real switch and I'm not the only 1 another youtuber payed 300 and got a real switch oled to cus 1 temu sell look alike but not 9nce do thay make a clame it's a real switch thay call it a gaming system not a switch I been ordering from temu and not 1 scam yet
I bought a brand-new switch from BestBuy and has issues connecting to 5G as well. Luckily I have 2.4 activated as well and after the update it worked just dandy on 5G. By the way: Anyone that has a little bit of understanding of the channels should look into the overlap with their neighbors. I moved mine to a different channel and the connection was night and day.
Yah moving channels to find a free spot is a doddle & definitely worth it. Also splitting your WiFi into 2.4 & 5GHz is a Good idea - did it years ago to support 3DS & Vita. UK viewer here.
Well now I'm going to have to check this out.
I would absolutely expect spyware/malware. I'm surprised these are even allowed to ship over like this.
TEMU is run by the CCP in China. it is a scam. not a short con where they steal your info and use it but it is part of the CCP's long con where they just steal info and sit on it until it, may or may not be of use to them. It's next level data theft. I deleted the app and still get texts. There is some kind of BS a foot.
Just Famiclones. This is a really old game, nothing new. Some Famiclones are not that bad, though! You can stumble on one running a pretty decent emulator, sometimes!
Holiday playing Super Mario on a Famicon. Great memories
There’s no camera on the switch?
@@jingle1412but china evil!1!!
You can tell it's a Japanese console by the serial prefix. NA consoles only start with XAW, XKW, XTW & XJW. Any other serial is foreign and can't be repaired by NOA but can be replaced with a domestic model. Japanese consoles will always end with J like XAJ, XTJ, XKJ, & XJJ. Foreign models won't have any issues downloading NA software and the digital software region is based on your account not the console. If you had a Japanese game card though you wouldn't be able to use NA DLC with it.
and there is no such listing for $7 so im guessing this video is bullshit

I wasn't able to get it for $7 but I did get it for $240 Hong Kong edition. That's still $100 cheaper than buying it anywhere else.
btw, you can't convince me that anyone has actually paid only $7 for this switch console 😂
well if they did, this 'switch' itself probably has malware on it. So it may work, but when you're putting in your credentials it may save it out (along with any attached credit card info) from which they could make their money back through that.
used laptops/computers are prob more of a concern for viruses/malware, bc those platforms are much more open, but if something like that did happen on switch, it would explain the very low cost. They have to be losing money making it, the question is, why would someone sell you a product that costs them more to make?
$ cost isn't the only factor, be wary, usually when something sounds too good to be true, it's bc there's some other factor in play. Like any of the 'free' social media sites, they aren't charging you, but they are selling your data and preferences to advert companies and the like, and that's where they get the money/value from
He even shows in the video he didn’t lol.

I've had similar issues with Switch OLED not connecting to WiFi and it can unfortunately be a bad WiFi chip on the board (not to be confused with the WiFi antenna that sits on top of the heat shield which is easier to replace than the chip).
I had the same wifi issues with all of the switches I got from Temu. I just left the explanation in a separate comment, but I'll put it here as well to help spread the explanation to people interested:
I didn't go into the wifi issue very much because retention data shows that most people don't care about the technical stuff, so I'll explain here.
The 2.4GHz wifi issue I had was because I wasn't close enough to my router (which is a fault of the crappy network card in the switch - I was literally 20ft + 2 plaster walls away from my router, and in a spot where every other device I own has 0 issues).
The bigger issue is that the upper channels in the 5GHz wifi band are blocked by both the Japanese and Hong Kong switch consoles. This is because there is a portion of the 5GHz wifi band that works in the US, but is restricted in Japan. So, if you're in the US (like I am) and your router is automatically assigning your wifi channels, you will likely have issues connecting to 5GHz. You can avoid this issue if you tell your router to not use those upper 5GHz channels, but the fact is, most people don't know how or don't want to do that.
So while the switch is region free, your wifi experience will not be the same if you buy a Hong Kong or Japanese switch to use in the US.
Exactly! I switched my modem to 2.4 and I got a repeater for the 5G I think (?) and my switch is fine but I take it somewhere else with regular wifi and it has internet seizures
@@jrob0021where did you get those deals on temu? All i found was 300+ dollar switches 😅 i have been wanting an oled one for ages but they are so pricey

@@jrob0021 that's really interesting, thanks for sharing the information!
I didn't watch the video since people said it was misleading and not $7, but for anyone wondering, yes you can get a $7 Switch. My fiancé got one months ago during one of those "new hour" deals. Ya know the ones, like Wish would do? Where a new hour starts and they have a limited number available at that price and you have to be one of the first ones to checkout? Well he did, and now my 4 year old has a Switch. We were surprised when it actually came in too.
I mean, it's possible there's spyware or whatever but it just seems way more likely to me that Temu as a whole is just a front for selling stolen goods.
Yes lol
Hmmm they may not be stolen... Just the places where they are assembled are... "loosing some stock, due to unforseen hardware failure, gotta keep the quality control at an all time high, huh nintendo?" and then take perfectly fine consoles to sell them.
I have never gotten a more bad vibe from a store than temu
Aliexpress feels safer and less fishy.
Temus parent company is facing lawsuits for sideloading malware on people’s phones.
I have only purchased from them once and every product was exactly as described .. I got like a belt walllet and a few other accessories and the quality was pretty good.. I think they are better than wish .. one thing though the Temu app is annoying with the notifications though ..
Temu, AliExpress, Wish and all other similar platforms literally exist to scam you. The products you get are either made of cheaper materials, are defective, not as described, or excess or liquidation stock direct from the factory

The WiFi channels won't matter. My Japanese console connects with no issues. However, it is very possible there might be an issue with the console's internal wi-fi connection.
The wifi channels absolutely do matter. You can’t use the upper band on a Japanese switch because those frequencies are restricted in japan. Your 5GHz wifi probably just happens to run on the lower 5GHz frequencies so you don’t have that issue. I’ve tried this on 6 different switch consoles
I realize I didn't go into the wifi issue very far in the video, so here's the full explanation:
The 2.4GHz wifi issue I had was because I wasn't close enough to my router (which is a fault of the crappy network card in the switch - I was literally 20ft + 2 plaster walls away from my router, and in a spot where every other device I own has 0 issues).

You can avoid this issue if you tell your router to not use those upper 5GHz channels, but the fact is, most people don't know how or don't want to do that.
So while the switch is region free, your wifi experience will not be the same if you buy a Hong Kong or Japanese switch to use in the US.
Foo stop waffling about things you dont know about
@@jrob0021Network engineer here, this is 100% accurate, upper bands and even some DFS channels are allowed to be used by consumer devices in the US but those channels are not permitted for use in Japan.
I know that not all electronics from temu might not always be the same as what it could be, but everything I've ordered has been good. I ordered socks, underwear, and some cool stickers and shovel shaped spoons. So while not everything is perfect, there is still some cool stuff
Cheap chinese crap can be nice but the group behind TEMU is not friend. It's a company essentially owned by China and it already has your Data. You ever wonder why they seem to constantly notify you of things on sale? EVEN AFTER YOU DELETE THE APP?

This was the same problem I had but my router next to me and still had a problem loading items like the Nintendo store other than that it works alright I tried the 7 dollar switch method twice the first time I didn’t have access to my card the second time I ended up getting the Nintendo switch
I have no choice. I have a hong kong switch because most shippings are from hong kong and japan im from philippines
I bought a Japanese switch and noticed random wifi issues and no 5ghz but it randomly started working? Not sure why but I can connect to 5ghz now 🤷♂️
What about the uk?
Just Patch it to a eu or us model
At least the actual consoles weren't a scam but the $7 Switch is very sus
That’s because if you look at the receipts he actually paid $1000 lol. Yea I just wasted 9 minutes of my life too.
If you paid more than $7 for these switches then they're obviously not $7 switches lol.
It’s well known as THE $7 switch because that’s how Temu has advertised it for months. I for sure did buy the $7 switch, just had to pay more for it because it’s impossible to actually get it for $7. But there are indeed specific listings that Temu uses to sell THE $7 switch, so that’s the exact console I ordered.
there is an easy way around the wifi issue, not so much for when you are out and about tho, when you are home have the switch docked, and plug in the network cable, as the oled switch has networking port on the dock
Are the joy cons genuine and work fine? That’s what I’ve been wondering, I mean the console itself they could have done anything with it but the grip, dock, charger and cable they couldn’t really do much besides getting them dirty, and the joy cons i suppose they could also have some buttons not working or something but yeah
I think i may have to buy one just for the Splatoon Joy-Cons. $20 altogether more than likely with shipping included. Thats not a bad deal considering they are sold out by me.
I was thinking the same but for the Zelda dock and controllers 🤔

The problem is the Wifi channel on your network, you need to lower the channel number on your router settings.

@@hancho8766just search for switch on Temu and find the listings that have review about the $7 switch. I don’t think they are actually doing the $7 thing anymore though, it doesn’t pop up at 10pm for me anymore
@@jrob0021 to your first reply - That’s a good point. It would make more sense that no one is actually getting them for that cheap, sounds sketchy to begin with. I thought a very small amount of people were getting it because of the “ten switches available at this time for $7” part but it sounds too good to be true. I thought you were one of those ppl lol
@@pineymationsWatching the video he says he couldn't get one because only 10 are sold each day at 10AM EST
The plugs for Hong Kong is UK standard, like they are in Iraq, Iran and quite a lot of foreign places that adopted the new British safety plug which replaced the older and more dangerous round pin standard which was killing more people a year than smoking back in the day as no fuses, no shielded prongs, heavy draw plugs unprotected except by the main boards two or three slow burn fuse wires which did pop but usually after frying humans or starting major fires so in the sixties HM Government said enough and ordered a new ultra safe system. The adapters are likely for those in HK who want to travel to mainland China who are on a different socket.
7$ is too good to be true! btw its nice that the switch isn't region locked not like the other Nintendo consoles
Yeah you can't buy one for that price
@@LilfoxTheHybridHylian5967They were legitimately sold for $7 but only like 10 a day at a specific time and only for the promotional period.
Yeah I don't believe any of those were 7 bucks sorry that's some bs
I got a Temu ad in the middle of watching this
This just makes me think more to try and get one
The Switch is gonna become the best selling console of all time.....thanks to Temu. Who would've thunk 🤷🏾♂️
Thunk
@@DudeUnperfect21it's a real word
the thunker
If you are worried about anything malicious done to the switch. Just reset it to factory settings before setting it up with your information.
Or buy cards so you never have to put your credentials? I don't know, maybe, just maybe, someone else in the world thought about that? Still.... won't stop the malware from spreading to your router and go crazy from there but eh what can you do.
if it is infected with malware your credentials would be logged regardless of a reset
Lol everyone complains about china spying when Facebook and our own government does it to its own people
@@sirlezard670does the switch work without connecting to WiFi?
@@bobs8005 yes but you won't be able to update
How much time did the consoles took to arrive?
Tbh my regular switch that I bought at best buy in 2019 gets that network error a lot and sometimes I can't connect it to wi-fi for hours/days at a time, I called Nintendo support for it but nothing really helped. Maybe some switches just don't connect to routers very good?
The switch just has a crappy network card. The real issue I had is the fact that the non NA switches don’t have full 5GHz support
You can still use the joy cons with your original switch? And the docking station? If you can I feel like that alone is worth $7
I think he had to spend more than $7 on it. Apparently you have to do a lot of things to get that promotion.
I own a Japanese Switch, quite practically because they were much cheaper in Japan. (And I'm not adding my holiday travel to the cost) In Europe you'll pay around €330 for one and they rarely go on sale due to the (presumably) low margins. In Japan However they are much more affordable, I looked around Akiba and with the conversion at the time + the tax-free shopping, I managed to get a new OLED for €175. That's a huge discount for this type of hardware. There were used ones available too for even less. If those types of prices can exist on the market, temu would certainly have the capital to purchase a grand volume of them for a bulk discount increasing margin enough to make it interesting in NA or the EU, allowing them to sell them at MSRP for regular margin, and then every once in a while for 7USD or 10EUR without making a loss on it. It's effective marketing for a sketchy company of it's kind, but obviously it's safest to remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
where can i find these offers? cuz when im searching on temu phrase "nintendo switch conesole'' it just shows the accesories
Don't order from TEMU. People have reported having had accounts/cards compromised after ordering from TEMU. Just google it
Same did you ever find one?
The 5g v 2.4g difference for a switch is negligible. Most routers default to put out both anyway.
I managed to be able to get one of the splatoon OLED for the $7 deal and it did arrive and everything works fine, but I used a prepaid card since I didn’t trust the app and I was right to do so since the card no longer worked or had funds even though it was still supposed to have around $30 left on it
Also for anyone wondering how I managed to get the deal I just spammed tapped my screen on where the purchase button would appear and managed to get the deal on my second attempt
Same thing, I signed 1 hour before and filled everything, shipping address and a PayPal account.
Yeah never use a real credit card cause they will take little bits of money out without you knowing
Where are these listings
@@Playerz714Gone. It was a promo that finished
Just got mine here oled ver. No issues, new no adapter and all the accessories for na ver, cant complain.
The Hong Kong power brick is actually the same one we use in the UK!
Not a single Switch come up on Temu for me but only those emulator consoles. If it was indeed only $7 it was definitely some sort of money laundry going on. Temu is basically like Amazon or eBay where people can sell their staff. I can imagine these consoles were stolen or something. No way there is nothing wrong with them for $7.
Even selling stolen ones for only $7 wouldn't make sense. I think just this CZcamsr is full of crap
Always update them if they update and nothing happens, they are legit. If its not ligit it'll let you know
Where did you find that first switch
It seems like some kind of seller gets Japanese consoles and resells them for cheaper in China and then Temu Is reselling them to the US as well
Gonna need my tinfoil hat for this. Anything from Wish is a bit suspicious. Wait, did I say Wish? I meant Temu.
I buy so much from Temu, almost everything there is legit!!

So uhh, did this temu app drop the promote the app to other people to get bigger discount?
Everything about Temu just radiates spyware/data farm.

@@yankis.Show me proof there temu is located in Boston and their parent company Is on the US Stock market I'm sure your phone Is made in a sweat shop better throw that away bet it has Spyware also
That zelda switch is gorgeous.
i mean you could get a cheepo router and have it feed a limited amout of signal out in the channel for the switch
To comply with regulations usually selecting a console location should block out the extra wifi channel so the console will not try to connect on it. But as far as i understand usually a connecting device uses ehat the wifi station offers
It's not a scam if they're really giving away 10 OLED Switches a day for $7 as that's all their advertising. Only problem would be being 1 of the 10 to actually get one. Personally, I wouldn't even try as it's hard enough to buy a console that has millions upfront, PS5, as that took me almost a year. I was lucky with my Switches as I managed to get 2 from Best Buy because they allowed you to buy one of each color. Just had to pay for everything upfront. I then gave one to my nieces as a present.
Doubt. Ain't no way
nice cap
You saw have on yourself a new follower and I absolutely love you videos My friend told me about you actually and they watch your videos like a lot among other stuff just so they can help curve their spending habits and stuff like that.
I remember my friend got a switch that was from Amazon not temu brand new and it was European and came with a death Chinese adapter that I threw away after getting a better adapter for it, note his switch did work on 5G network
The Switch is 100% Region Free. You can even have USA account and a Japanese account on the same console. So the only difference is the ac adapter.
And the blocked 5GHz wifi channels
Skeptical this is a advertisement for Temu, here in England everyone is trying to get people on it for free items. Lots of videos about their marketing methods.
That's exactly what this is.
Look at around 9mins, he paid 300$+.
Why he would hide that at the end is weird, either this is promotion for temu or for himself.
the switch are not region lock, just your account. so you can set up an account from a different and play those games on it. it will play any physicals copy on the switch
Thank you for posting this. I was looking through to see if anyone pointed this out. It should be common knowledge or, at the very least, something he looked up before making this video. 🤣 I'm guessing he did this blind or with no experience with regional game systems
@@ShingenOnimost people know the switch is region free - it doesn’t mean I’m not going to test them and see what happens. I even had a segment at the beginning of the video talking about the whole region free situation, but I deleted it because the fact is, most people watching the videos don’t care about any sort of even slightly technical explanation. And I have tons of data from previous videos that shows that. That’s why, in most cases, anything even slightly technical doesn’t make it in the video, is cut really short, or goes at the end of the video. At the end of the day, I have to optimize my video for a larger audience, not satisfy a handful of people that want to see everything explained in the video
@jrob0021 I get that and understand where you're coming from. It just would have made more sense to omit that statement then about (not verbatim ) but "seeing which eshop you would get when logging in" if you use a US account you will always get the US store, same thing for Japanese and any other account that you have assigned a region. It was just odd if you know it's region free to not understand how the eshop works as well. But in the end, it could've been a slip up or just thinking faster than speaking. It's not going to change how the majority of people view your video. Thank you for taking the time to address it, though, especially not in any hostile way. It's a pleasure and honor to have gotten a little bit of your time.
Fun fact: Before watching this video, youtube put me a Temu ad
I grabbed one for like $100 something a while back, and I had the same issue with wifi when setting it up, but had no problems once it got working.
Yours came from Temu as well?
@@jrob0021 Yep, bought it a few months back to see if it was a scam, but it seems fine after the initial wifi weirdness. Gave it to my brother in law and it seems to be working just fine for him. I think it was a Hong Kong version, so the power adapter won't work here in the US.
@@papa_NCFwhich type of switch did you get? Just curious because $100 something is cheap for an oled but makes sense for a switch lite
@@jrob0021 it was an oled, they were running some sort of promotion for a pretty hefty discount. I saw an ad for it on Instagram, and it was so ridiculous, it piqued my interest. I have a bunch of screenshots and video if you're interested. I wanted to document the whole thing in case it was in fact a scam.
@@papa_NCFI’ll check your video out
These things are a "Schrodinger's cat" of scams, they both are and aren't simultaneously. Honestly though the Wi-Fi situation is absolutely BS and ruins it. For some I'm sure it would be fine but it's just an extra hiccup that really recks the experience overall.
Yeah mine takes a good while to download games and I didn’t realize this is why. Can’t complain for $7 tho 🤷♂️
@@Teku175I'm glad you're okay with being a puppet for a pyramid scheme. Go on, keep advertising their name.
@@JetpacksWasYes2 huh? Ok then. I’ll just go back to playing TOTK
@@Teku175 Enjoy while the switch lasts. I'm sure it'll give out 6 months to a year. Lmao.
@@JetpacksWasYes2It's a switch bro, why you acting like it's different just cause he got it from Temu.
Fun fact: Ive got a Temu ad before this video started.
Its crazy you can find a whole switch system that that cheap.
I actually got the $7 Nintendo switch from TEMU & it works great from my experience. It is a Japanese switch as well.
Show us proof
Share the link as I don't find it inTemu app
Is it actually 7$? What's the actual price?
2 days later, still no video with a receipt.
Temu pushing bots on CZcams now?
@@nunoraposo9889 I believe it’s a random promotion they do. It’s very limited now since everyone is on TEMU. I checked the price and it’s back up to original $360. I hope they do a promo again soon :)
did he actually only pay 7 dollars for each console?
I got a deck box, a nice set of dice, a bigger set of smaller dice with some pips that I don't like so that was a bust, a Gengar winter hat that was a smidge too small so another bust there, and a Pot of Greed playmat. I do agree with another commentor to stick to the little stuff and don't get anything electronic or anything too expensive that might be crao when you get it
For Temu that Nintendo is pretty insane ngl
Lets just not talk about when Jacob connected to the FBI Van Wi-Fi😳
Looking for someone to say this
my switch oleds came dusty new aswell from amazon and gamestop
That’s so weird
Was hoping someone did a video on this !!
I’m so happy you did this
for $7 you could jailbreak it, tho it's gonna be very hard and risky for this model since it's patched so you need to buy a modchip for $3 and install it yourself (or ask/pay for someone who knows) but it'll be worth it, once it's jailbreak you don't need wifi anymore, now you got a jailbroken switch for just $10
9:42 he didn't pay $7 tho.
I tried to get one but every time it went live it would already be sold out lol
It’s always sold out 😂
If they actually are selling them for $7 and not just some marketing scam to get people in the door, people are probably using scalping bots to buy them up to resell.
how did you get theses lol i cant seem to kind them like that
Have you done a update. A lot of the temu scams are about temu selling payment info and those buyers lose their money from their accounts.
I never trust TEMU, always felt it was some kind of app-based black market.
Honestly I have no problem with the whole getting non US Nintendo switch since all real Nintendo switches should be region free. I kind of been on the fence about putting my trust in Temu this video kind of helped me kind of make a decision honestly to me it's not worth the risk I rather go to a Walmart and buy a Switch lite there I have no interest in buying a Switch OLED temu sounds too good to be true when they first came out and as the saying goes if it's too good to be true it probably is
I got my Switch from Temu for 240 after coupon. Took ten days to arrive
I actually got one for 7 dollars almost 5 months ago and it works perfectly and nothing is wrong with it even to today!
Well atleast you got plenty of controllers for back up lmao those neon green ones are sweet!
This video is the biggest scam . There ain't no switch for 7 of whatever currency
