Early emails I got from them indicated a price point around £280 - as they were pushing this as essentially PC based architecture that could play modern games. Not sure how much has changed based off consumer feedback but I'm predicting this will go the way of other retro reboots.
Stardew Valley and Papers Please are reason enough to dust off my vita (even though Switch has become my portable daily driver - surpassing even my 3DS in terms of time spent gaming-on-the-go)
Happy you got your Switch in the end, but I would urge you to pursue this; you have rights as a consumer. Forget the telephone/email. Send a registered letter to their postal address and mark it 'complaint'.
Sum up the salient points and offer to provide proof (in the form of a sanitized bank statement/communication).
At the very least, they owe you the difference in the amount you have since paid compared to the sale price you were originally offered.

Literally just got back from town; picked up the Odyssey Special Edition Switch and some peripherals.
Feeling chipper.
The move controllers don't allow for true control over locomotion - the Rift and Vive wands have analog inputs to control movement.
How about revising the seven year old Move controllers we’re still wrestling with?
As long as it is an actual new console, I'm happy to wait a few more years.
Anyone else tired of this mid-gen refresh cycle we seem to be stuck in? Sony & MS are just muddying the water for the less experienced playerbase who are confused about what represents the best value console now - there's so many iterations of the current gen, it must be a nightmare for parents at Xmas time.
I've been enjoying my experiences with this title; quite a unique shooter - would recommend trying it out.
Great write-up; thanks for sharing.
MHW is currently my most anticipated title. As a western fan, I've played every iteration since the original PS2 release, although I've always struggled to enjoy co-operative experiences on PSP, Wii(U) and 3DS. I've never managed to convert any of my friends.
Hopefully the PS4 crowd will warm to it this time around and it'll finally achieve the global recognition it deserves.
Looks promising; I would love to play a game like this in VR - The investigation/interrogation sequences in Batman: Arkham VR were particularly immersive. A David Cage-esque experience would be something special.
Thanks for putting this on my radar; completely missed any coverage of this at PGW.
Full Motion Video can be hit and miss (I felt Quantum Break suffered from relying to heavily on it) but the new control scheme makes this title stand out - i like the idea of watching events unfold and then controlling decisions with your smartphone/tablet - this could pave the way for a whoel generation of interactive fiction.
Looks very promising; London Heist was a standout demo on the VR Worlds disc.
Only reservation are the outdated move controllers; PSVR is crying out for some fluid analogue locomotion - does this title work with the Playstation Aim controller?
This looks great! thanks for the heads up - downloading now.
Same; I trawl ebay sometimes in the hope of finding a bargain, but I can never justify the prices.
Console gaming has always enjoyed a level playing field, especially insofar as gamers using similar peripherals/hardware. Maintaining parity is key. Players using K/M combos immediately gain a competitive edge. I noticed this most recently with The Division on PS4 - the side strafers ruined the PVP elements of that game.
I can't believe there are still Playstation owners out there who don't have this game.
As far as I can tell, this update bricks any devices loaded with custom firmware, so there'll be a lot of unhappy modders out there.
good point; why make a sequel to a procedurally-generated game; it'll just be more of the same.
I guess there's still scope for them to carry on developing NMS - If they allowed the PC community to mod it, I have no doubt its fortunes would change overnight.
I live in a very quiet part of the UK - they always have stock in at my local store.
Vita has had a great release calendar recently; plus we still have Stardew Vallye to look forward to in the new year.
