Leo had been staring at the same product page for three weeks. In the UK, finding a Nintendo Switch at the right price felt like a national sport. He lived in a rainy corner of Manchester, where the grey skies practically begged for the neon glow of a handheld console.
He decided to go local. He checked the Currys website, noting they offered a "Price Match Guarantee." That was his first tactical move. He also peeked at Argos, knowing their "Fast Track" delivery could have a console in his hands within hours if he found a store with stock.
Finally, Leo saw it: a flash sale on the official Nintendo Store UK. It was a refurbished OLED model, inspected by Nintendo itself, priced lower than the standard version at most retailers. It even came with the full warranty.
