Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200
Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 day agoI bought a refurbished Steam Deck waaay back before prices got ballistic. Can emulate the Switch 1 quite fine.
Also got a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World for 99 DKK (15 USD) last year (funny story about the price), but hardly use it.

In Denmark, Telia got acquired by Norlys and was permanently changed to Norlys Mobile. To attract customers, they made a deal on their most expensive subscription plan, Norlys One, where you’ll get a 20% discount on a Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World.
I have a friend who works for Telenor, another ISP and phone company. He has a friend who works in Norlys, and this guy discovered a major internal fuckup with the whole Nintendo Switch discount; instead of buying a subscription and getting a 20% discount, you’d just the Switch and game for 99 DKK.
It was in the process of getting fixed the moment it was discovered, so my friend’s friend called my friend, and my friend called me, and stopped in the middle of my job to rush an order through. I didn’t expect it to work, it almost didn’t, but now I’m the proud owner of the cheapest acquired Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle in history.

That’s awesome. I don’t personally like the NS2 but at that price who wouldn’t grab one. Thanks for sharing.

It was a little moment of abusing an IRL exploit. Felt like victory when I finally had the box in front of me.
