“26th August, Legend of Zelda The breath of the wilderness was officially released. ”

“At midnight on the same day, the flagship versions of Switch pro and matrix glasses were also launched on Lehui’s official website and major e-commerce websites at home and abroad. ”

The players didn’t have to worry about buying Legend of Zelda immediately.

The first problem to worry about was ... Snatching the Switch pro and the matrix glasses!

“Legend of Zelda wouldn’t sell out even if he didn’t buy it in ten minutes. After all, he could buy the digital version. But why didn’t he try the Switch pro ten minutes after it was released? ”

“He thought about how Lehui had always been, and then he thought about how the first generation of the Switch sold out instantly when it was released ... ”

“Although Zhou Jiangping had vowed that there was a new policy for the purchase of Switch pro, most players still did not have much hope. ”

The so-called new policy was nothing more than to prevent people from maliciously buying and then becoming scalpers.

The two new devices had to be pre-ordered with a 500-Yuan deposit. They had to be bound to their Thunderbolt gaming pass and make sure that they were active players before they could pass the system’s review.

“As for how to judge active players, there was an algorithm that combined the account’s consumption, game time, and other factors. In addition, Thunderbolt Game Pass was bound to the ID card and mobile phone. This method could directly screen out most of the scalper accounts, and normal players would not be affected. ”

“What if the player became a scalper? There was nothing they could do about that. After all, no matter how good Chen Mo and Zhou Jiangping were, they couldn’t meddle in the second-hand trade between players. However, as long as they could ensure that the new equipment was manufactured and that the players could always buy it from the official website, the players would realize that they couldn’t make money from reselling the equipment, and they would stop wasting time. ”

“After the reservation, the game would start at midnight on the 26th. That would be a competition of hand speed and internet speed. Those who got it can pay the rest of the payment, and those who didn’t can choose to refund the deposit. ”

“If you don’t want to buy it, you can return the deposit in advance, but you can’t snatch it when it’s released. ”

“Of course, the method of purchasing would change. Only in the early stages when the supply was scarce would this method be used to prevent the machine from falling into the hands of scalpers. After the supply stabilized, they would sell it freely. There was no need to make it so complicated. ”

“However, this policy only gave the players a little bit of psychological comfort, and most players were still pessimistic about it. ”

The reason was simple. It was because of Legend of Zelda!

“Previously, many people were not optimistic about the Switch pro and the flagship version of the matrix glasses because these two devices were not irreplaceable. They were just a lot more expensive to show off. ”

“However, with the appearance of Legend of Zelda, the situation changed. ”

“If he wanted to play Legend of Zelda smoothly on the mobile phone, he had to buy the Switch pro. ”

“If you wanted to experience the cheap VR version of The Legend of Zelda without the game pod, you had to buy the Switch pro and the flagship version of the matrix glasses. ”

What was this?

This was just what he needed!

“Buying a house was a necessity, but playing games was not? ”

“For many players, not being able to play a new game after it was released was worse than killing them. When the new game was released, the whole internet was discussing it. All the major live streamers were also crazily posting video guides, and all major forums banned spoilers. A good game would become the current hot topic ... ”

“Then, you told me to bear with it and wait for half a year before buying any game I want, and there’s even a discount? ”

“Wake up, by that time, the popularity would have passed, and everyone would be tired of playing new games. In the end, you would go online and tell people,””wow, I just cleared ‘Legend of Zelda’. This game is really fun?”” ”

“To put it bluntly, even eating sh * t can’t keep up with the heat ... ”

“Therefore, for many players, a perfect score piece was something that could only be encountered by luck, not sought after. The best case scenario was only one piece a year. Even if this was expensive, they would still have to wait. How could they have the cheek to say that they were hardcore players? ”

“What’s more, how could the current Switch pro compare with the first-generation Switch? ”

How many people were optimistic about the first generation Switch when it was released?

“Many people felt that it was better to buy a game phone than to buy this game. There were also many people who were worried about hardware problems, the launch of the game, and so on.””Super Mali Odyssey”” had great reviews abroad, but it was not as good as “”Legend of Zelda”” in China. ”

“Just like that, the first generation of the Switch was out of stock in less than five minutes. It took more than three months to fill the gap. ”

“The Switch was already a very mature product, with a large number of Thunderbolt entertainment games escorting it, the mature manufacturing process and design, and the full-score work of “”Legend of Zelda”” of the year. It could be said that most players who could afford this had no more concerns. ”

As for the price ...

“Was 4000 Yuan expensive? It was indeed expensive compared to the first-generation Switch 2000, but 4000 Yuan was at most the level of a high-end phone or a better tablet. For many people, it was not impossible to afford. ”

“Therefore, it wasn’t that many people didn’t want to be optimistic about the purchase of the Switch pro, but they really couldn’t be optimistic ... ”

......

In a certain university dormitory group.

“””The pro Switch is about to start. Get ready and click on this link!”” ”

“””I’ve been waiting for a long time. Do I need you to remind me?”” ”

“””Can you get it?”” ”

“””Who knows? Speaking of which, I remember the four of us crowdfunding for the Switch in our fourth year. The most infuriating thing was that third brother said that he had no problem getting tickets, but he still didn’t get it!”” ”

“””I already said that it’s not my fault, it’s the school network card! If you want to blame someone, blame your great alma mater, world first university!”” ”

“””Alright, alright. This time, everyone’s working. We’re rich, and our internet speed is good. Let’s fight for our own things and rely on our own abilities!”” ”

“””It’s starting, it’s starting, hurry!”” ”

“These guys were the students who had listened to Chen Mo’s lecture in his previous life, and were also the first batch of players to buy the Switch. Although the switch wasn’t expensive at that time, it was still a student group, and only four people could crowdsource. ”

“Needless to say, the switch did bring a lot of laughter to their fourth-year lives. ”

“After work, the four of them often contacted each other in a small chat group. When they heard that the Switch pro was going to be sold, all four of them planned to buy one to play. ”

“As soon as midnight passed, the official page was refreshed, and the four of them clicked on [buy]! ”

“””Eh? F * ck, I got it! I got it!”” ”

“””Aiya, I also got one! He’s invincible!”” ”

“””I’m done for, my internet is stuck! Eh? There was more! Great, I got it too!”” ”

“””Cough, cough, I also ...”” ”

“””What the hell? four people actually got it? Isn’t this too F * cking unscientific?”” ”

“The four of them were still sharing their joy in the group, but they realized that all four of them had managed to get it. ”

This made him very disappointed ...

How good would it be if he was the only one who got it and no one else got it ...

“The four of them were a little sad, probably because they missed their university days ... ”

“””Sigh, I actually managed to get all of them. Why do I feel a little disappointed?”” ”

“””Yes, I’m sad. I feel like the ones that can’t be bought are the best. “” ”

“””Don’t think about it, it’s good that you guys got it. Are you guys masochists? Let’s go buy the game. “” ”

“””Eh? Wait, why don’t you refresh the page again?”” ”

“”???It’s sold out!”” ”

“””Hahaha, you’ve persisted for seven minutes. That’s a huge improvement!”” ”

“””I’m dying of laughter. I thought I finally had enough stock this time!”” ”

“””Alright, I’m satisfied and happy!”” ”
