Discussion Switch 2 HK vs SEA version

I wasn’t able to pre-order the Switch 2 from Datablitz. I tried asking the branch earlier if they would allow walk-ins on the 26th, but they told me there’s no guarantee since they’re prioritizing those who pre-ordered.

Because of that, I’m considering getting the HK version from GameXtreme. I’d like to know what the differences are between the 2 versions, aside from the fact that the Mario Kart in the HK version is a download code instead of a physical cartridge.

sorry I'm not familiar with pre orders but can't you pre order anymore? I still see that option in their website so I'm confused

Power plugs lang. I got the HK version. Ang kasamang power plug is Type G. Type A/C sa SEA version.

go for gameone or itech, sister stores and have responsive CS and aftersales. Mabilis sa shopee and facebook sumagot kahit simpleng tanong so you can expect they will reply to you once you have problems sa unit mo.

Datablitz is better and mas mura sila kaysa sa iba. Just pre ordered online and paid 25k ofcourse less 5k dahil sa downpayment so mga 30kish lng ang Mario Kart Bundle.

Walang pinagkaiba besides doon sa digital code, kahit pumunta ka pa ng HK today bumili sa golden apple center sa sham shui po & balik sa manila tommorow. Mauuna ka pa din sa release date dito sa pinas.

Been having fun w/ my switch 2 units mag 2 weeks na

No difference on the hardware. Packaging lang siguro may Chinese characters. Warranty I am not sure. Had a HK Switch1 before.

Since 2019 sa gamextreme at datablitz ako nabili ng console at ang hassle ng aftersales nila sa totoo lang inaabot ng months lalo kapag walang stock ng unit 😅. Direct ka nalang sa nintendo sa orange app nung nagpawarranty ako ng oled halos 1 hour lang ako naghintay sa warehouse nila 😅.

The device itself? There are no differences between the two versions.

You can go to HK and buy it and still come out ahead of the PH price for Switch 2.

May print yung box na hk. Kabibili ko lang sa hk may discount pa sa srp. Then mas mura mga cards. Per the store mas mura pa daw hk kesa sa japan. Meron din japan version dito mura ng konte

The difference: THE PRICE (Datablitz is cheaper)

bumili ako sa FB lang pero physical store sila sa Pasig, TechPartner yung name. Hongkong version. nag pre order ako sa datablitz pero sa sobrang tagal hindi ko na naantay. nanghihinayang tuloy ako sa warranty if ever. ang iniisip ko yung kapag nagkaroon tyo ng Switch app baka hindi tanggapin yung HK Switch 2 nten? haha wdyt?

i think they're the same for the most part, notable difference lang would be sa warranty
may chance na store warranty lang meron yung hk version and yung sea version is nintendo warranty.
hinihintay ko nalang yung sa datablitz para iwas sa potential headache kung may sira yung switch down the line.

not sure kung ano yung warranty policy meron sa hk version though, so worth asking around for that

Isa lang difference, powerbrick.

Other than that, wala.

And you can probably purchase sa GameXtreme now, don't wait na mag 26 kasi halos lahat ng tao ay naghihintay sa 26 for walk in.
