También os digo, las tiendas no son estúpidas y se están blindando un poco y, como veis en el pantallazo, limitan el número de ítems por persona...
Eso si, nada impide a un cabrón motivado el hacerse 7 cuentas distintas… O como se ha visto en sitios como The Gundam Base (donde tienen muchos kits exclusivos que SOLO se pueden comprar allí) tienes aun pavo motivado que va entra, compra, sale, y vuelve a hacer todo otra vez para volver a pasar por caja… Porque la limitación es de 'items por compra' y no de 'veces que puedes comprar'.

Please Remember if you are searching for a Switch 2 (or any other shiny new tech) to not give in and pay the Scalper's exorbitant prices. They only do that crap because it makes them a ton of money if one gives in and pays it. Let them be left holding a ton of them when it hits the point of you could walk in to a store on a whim and pick one up.
