Nintendo finally revealed the Switch 2 earlier this month, but the full reveal is coming on April 2. Twiddling your thumbs waiting for more news? Put the time to good use and get yourself in the best position to preorder.
While launch pricing is still up in the air, a couple of UK retailers have begun to allow prospective buyers to get in the queue now, helping skip the launch day rush.
Given one (surprisingly plausible) rumour puts the Switch 2 release date in May, all the groundwork laid right now could have a big payoff — so here's how to get things moving already.
Sure, we don't know how much the Switch will be yet, but that hasn't stopped Currys and ShopTo letting shoppers register their interest.
Currys currently has a form set up which just needs your name, email, and phone number to get the ball rolling. It's essentially a mailing list to give you all the news about the console, including when it'll go on sale — meaning you can act before the rest of the population, especially since the console is likely to be a big seller.
ShopTo, on the other hand, is asking users to part ways with a single penny to get themselves to the front of the queue, although as the site warns "official price and allocation details have yet to be confirmed by Nintendo."
"Pre-orders are not guaranteed!" it adds, but promises email updates as news comes from Nintendo. April 2 is likely to be a very busy day for retailers, so that 1p might end up being very well-spent indeed if it helps you secure one of the first Nintendo Switch consoles in the UK.
